‘a Saviour has been born to you …’ (Luke 2:11)
‘Look the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’ (John 1:29)
Who could be sufficient
human, perfect,
to bear the wages earned by all
who for mercy, pardon call – ?
animal death depicts the problem,
could not purchase human pardon,
underlined the heart condition
of guilt, defilement,
need of cleansing, substitution:
fulfilment by the One who’d come
God’s Messiah, Christ, eternal Son.
‘The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming.’ (Hebrews 10:1)

Again, thank you, Rhiannon, for bringing to my attention a verse in the bible I was not familiar with, namely the one from Hebrews.
I shall look forward to reading the next excellent poem in your timely series.
Best wishes
Tina

This is one of my favourite things about Jesus, how he said to help others rather than kill for sacrifices.
