#274 He is Risen
Episode 13
Friday, 6 February, 2026
Have you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:This kid down in Nazareth got all uppitySeems to me he's got a problem with authorityWent up to the leader of the PhariseesAnd gives him a lesson in theologyAs a kid? As a kidSeems to me this kid is not messing aroundHe is going to cause problems all over townHave you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:This kid, the one of the Pharisee fameSeems he's grown up and has started making an honest nameAs a carpenter, and then he threw it awayThrew it away? Seems the part of his heart that yearned to dismayLed him to challenge the temple's money changersIn his anger throwing tables - this guy is headed for dangerHave you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:So, you know that guy who berated those using church for profit?He claims to be a messiah - the one foretold by prophets.And he claims to be behind some miraculous eventsAnd his claims, well his claims. I swear, they make some sense.This guy makes sense? Well in the way he talks about the poor, needy, and forgivenessHere's my two cents, it's something you must witness!Have you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:The preacher from the mount, the King of the Jews?Seems he finally has to pay his duesAnd I don't know for certain if what he said was trueBut it annoyed every person of power right through.His friends abandoned him, he'll be up on a cedar cross.He'll stand alone for his crime of making leaders cross.Pilate tried to forgive him. But he must face the walk.And pay for the message of love in his talk.Have you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:That Jesus is gone. The guy on the cross - he finally died.I can't believe it. I felt I knew the guy.I though he was bigger than death, immune somehow.Honestly, I'm not sure what to believe now.Have you heard? Have I heard?About this thing that's absurd:Jesus is risen! My friend, rejoice, Jesus is risen!He took our sins on his back and now we're forgiven!This is a new day. Everything is different to beforeIt's a miracle, and one only possible through the LordLet us cheer and celebrate, and honour it thus:We shall remember this date, and all Jesus did for us.***https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/03/he-is-risen.html
