The Gospel According to Spring
Posted: March 22, 2015
Mother Nature's annual Easter sermon…
It was as if somebody died.
For three months we have grieved.
We've mourned for flowers dead and gone
and trees that lost their leaves.
The gloom of winter gripped our hearts
as Boston caved to snow.
Our frozen lawns were lifeless brown.
Our plants refused to grow.
Death's shadow fell across the land.
We sorrowed for our loss.
The toll of winter just won't quit
exacting quite a cost.
But come this weekend life bursts forth
from winter's icy grave.
Spring is creation's metaphor
for One who came to save.
Spring pictures resurrection truth.
Yes, death has been defeated
because God's plan to prove His love
outrageously succeeded.
