The Resurrection Rays of the Risen Sun

Night has fallen, darkness covers everything      
Like the blackness of the spirit that people felt      
On the day that Christ was executed.      
It isn't the night after the Crucifixion on Good Friday.      
But the darkness of even an ordinary night conveys the mood    
that Christ's followers felt - of a soul being crushed to death.      
For His death left Israel without the hope of a Messiah.      
     
     
The full moon is round as the white monolithic stone      
that sealed the tomb carved into the side of a mountain,      
the tomb where Christ's corpse was laid.      
That tomb-stone-like moon tells us, all hope is gone.     
     
But wait, what is this?      
 Where is the moon that just now had stood impervious,      
unmovable like the grave stone that sealed Christ's tomb.      
It is gone, it's as if the stone had been rolled away !!      
     
In its place stands the shining Sun,      
As though it were the face of the Risen Savior, on Resurrection Sunday.    
It's as though He's standing triumphant at the threshold of the Garden Tomb,      
Yes, the light of each day conveys the theme of Easter Sunday,      
Each new day dawns with glorious Resurrection Rays,      
Each morning Sun beams as though with the joy that      
the Risen Christ felt as he spoke these words to his disciples,      
"Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"  (John 16.33).  
   
PS: Actually He spoke those words before the Crucifixion and Resurrection.  
Apparently, He was counting it as having already happened.  
This is a case of "God speaking of things that are not [yet],  
As though they [already] were" (Romans 4.17).
