The Cross
Is Empty
by
Barbara Philbrook
The cross
is empty there is nothing there for you to see,
our savior has risen to be with his father and make a
home there for you and me.
There is
no charge your home was paid for much in advance,
we are all welcome to accept or decline everyone gets
that chance.
Can you
imagine loving so deeply and so unconditionally,
that he gave up all his glory and came to this earth to
pay the way there for you and me.
To live a
life so perfect and so free of sin,
that because he was crucified you and I can live there
with him.
Yes the
cross is empty but it has a story yet to tell,
how the savior came from glory to keep all of us from
hell.
Once that
story has been made clear and you know that it is
true,
and when you've accepted the reservation that Jesus has
made for you.
No one
gives the order that you must share what you now know,
but if you react the way I did you'll want to share it
with everyone everywhere you go.
The things
that once were so important that many hours on them you'd
dwell,
all seem so insignificant now all you think of are how
many can I tell.
You want
with all of your heart to get the word out to all that
you can,
Jesus came and died for us for each and every man.
You start
looking at friendships in a completely different way,
why you can't imagine life everafter without them so for
their understanding you begin to pray.
Being a
grand-parent is always a special treat,
but once you've accepted Jesus you are desperate that
those precious grand-children also their savior will
meet.
You want
all of the loved ones in your family,
to come to know what you know and to see what you now
see.
When you
learn to give everything to your father above,
the peace he gives to you is something to share
with everyone you love.
Yes the
cross is empty but that's the most amazing part,
because the cross is empty you can welcome Jesus into
your heart.
Won't you
invite Jesus to live within your heart,
then when we all go home to live with him you too will
take part.
