A poem of St. Paul's singular view of our
Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection and ascension
By Father John R. Green

Shown with his blessing
From degradation of Tomb arising to Heaven's glory.
No earthly sojourn, nor pause;
No legend of fish, nail prints and closed walls;
No Emmaus walk, nor women at an empty tomb;
But appearing from the celestial realm
As Son of God with "Feed my Lambs" commandment
To Peter, disciples and many more in Galilee
To love and labor with the Comforter -
...then enter the job of Heaven
The resurrection and ascension are one of the same,
Through the almighty action of God!
