Easter reflect ..

          i know that i know..
..
that original Easter sunrise threw a shadow across the ground He walked on
   just as it had done for 30-odd years ..
i know He rose in that body in which He was there laid
   albeit changed somehow
      now imbued with immortality ..
..
it still bears re-mentioning
   calling it up to the surface of my mind ..
perhaps even though i know
   i tendtowantto believe that the person that ascended into the heavens 40 days later was
   somehow ethereal         spirit portraying body ..
and so it calls for a reinforcing of the solid truth that there, seated now next to God
as Right Hand,
   is the undeniable, recognizable body that hung from that dread tree, scars and all
   and that those feet will walk and those arms reach out to embrace this body 
       whenever it is we meet ..
          “ this same Jesus “ ..
..
it is a resurrected Son Of Man
   human in every respect
   gloried with the very same ‘glory’ He had with GodFather
   before the world was formed         and that by His own ‘hands’ ..
      before the first human breathed their first breath ..

and we shall be like Him
   and we shall recognize Him
       and ourselves in Him
          when we see Him as He is
   then we will know as we never really knew
that bears remembering


peace and joy to you
Christ is risen
