He suffered,
and his woes were many,
but he had faith.

He was tempted
yet he resisted,
because he had faith.

He was cast out
and betrayed,
but he had faith.

He bore the cross
for humanity,
because he had faith.

He was placed in a sepulchre,
but he arose,
because he never lost faith
in God,
or in you and me.

Remember him,
this Easter,
and his lessons of faith.
Let his love shine through
as if light behind
stained glass.
