Where is your sting?

Haiku of hope

Paul, persecutor

of the church, born out of time,

met the risen Christ.

I proclaimed to you

the good news about Jesus

and you received it.

I passed on to you

what I received; that Christ died,

was buried, and rose.

Christ appeared to them;

Peter, the twelve and many.

Finally to me.

He lives, don’t doubt it

and we all shall live, sharing

resurrection life.

Death, where is your sting?

Jesus looked you in the eye:

you’ve been defeated!
