Discerning Deception

"The chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.... And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 27:62,63, 28:5,6).

Come, discern, and see the place
Of Him you called "deceiver."
He is not here! Will you embrace
The truth of a believer?

For surely now the Lord requires
Discernment and perception
That God is true and they are liars
Who choose instead deception.

Behold His tomb! It's plain to see:
He's risen, as He said!
He is for all eternity
The Firstborn from the dead!

See the crown of God's defense
In this, His empty grave.
Discern now by the evidence:
He is alive to save!
