Women, Telling the Story; Empowered by the Risen One: Part Two of my mini Sermon Series on the WOMEN-Easter Sunday

One of the Women in my Life, who proclaimed the Gospel and is beloved in Memory

Grace,

And

Peace

To

You,

Beloved

This day.

What more can be said?

God has kept God’s Word,

We are never forgotten

We will never be alone

And,

Death has no hold over us

Because

CHRIST HAS THROWN OPEN THE GATES,

Of emptiness,

Of a lonely final existence

And CHRIST HAS TOLD DEATH,

YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM,

These

My sisters,

And brothers

And siblings

Who are LOVED by the ONE,

Who has final say,

Even over YOU, death

(pause)

And death had to bow,

To the One

Whom the Creator had given such POWER
