. . .unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before him endured

the cross, despising the shame, and is set down

at the right hand of the throne of God.

---Hebrews 12:2

But these are written, that ye might believe that

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that

believing ye might have life through his name.

---John 20:31

He suffered torture, death, and burial;

then, He rose from the tomb---not for attention,

nor to disdain the rulers' failed prevention---

but, rather, to assure the faithfilled soul.

The glories of that first, fine Easter morning

are not suppressed by worldly scholars' scorning

(foremost, the so-called Jesus Seminar;

on whose backs blasphemy has traveled far---

and mostly of its member's own suborning).

But those of faith have no more need of mourning.

As Brother John wrote, our eternal life

is present to us now, despite the strife;

ours now, and then in Heaven, for believing

Christ's Word, the comfort that will soothe all grieving.
