ERASING, “IT’S  OVER”

It’s hard to hear, “It’s over!”

It is. If the movie, the meal,
the vacation was good, it’s
hard to face, “It’s over.”

Someone else needs our table,
our seat, our space, our place.

The End – it’s part of every day -
every movie –  every life. It’s reality.

The disciples had to face it.
Their Jesus was arrested,
roughed up, beaten, ridiculed,
condemned and pushed towards
Calvary with a cross - with death
just ahead. And he died. It’s over.
Death…. Burial… Roll the rock
over the entrance of the tomb.

Yet all stories, all history was about to
change that weekend, that moment,
in that tiny place in Palestine.
Easter…. Resurrection… began.
The Father erased death, pushed
away the rock, lifted his Son and
announced to all, “It’s not over!”
