[Mark 16v1-8]
Sunrise.
The first day of a new week.
Dawn brings the women,
the faithful who never left him.
The pain of Friday still fresh in their hearts
And on their faces.
Unexpected scene.
Stone rolled back,
Jesus’ body is missing!
A messenger of God brings Good News:
He is not here,
He has risen!
Creation begins anew,
Life bursting forth out of death.
Rules have changed,
Hope defeats despair,
Light triumphs over darkness.
A new beginning for the world…
