Did he ponder Isaac<\/p>\n
Whilst hanging on the cross<\/p>\n
A last second substitute<\/p>\n
Before all was lost?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Is this why he cried out<\/p>\n
My God, My God so loud<\/p>\n
Showing disappointment<\/p>\n
Before a hostile crowd?<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Would God not intervene,<\/p>\n
Offer another lamb<\/p>\n
Or would he be passed over<\/p>\n
A dangling great I AM?<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Abandoned but begotten<\/p>\n
Left to face his fate?<\/p>\n
Would help arrive in \u2018nick of time\u2019<\/p>\n
Or would it come too late?<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Where\u2019s the lamb, asked Isaac<\/p>\n
And told \u2018God will provide\u2019<\/p>\n
But Jesus died in plain sight<\/p>\n
No place for grace to hide.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Jesus, like old Isaac<\/p>\n
An only begotten son,<\/p>\n
Isaac was no substitute<\/p>\n
But Jesus was the one. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
We like sheep have gone astray<\/p>\n
Unblemished lambs we\u2019re not<\/p>\n
God led the One to slaughter<\/p>\n
The Passover he\u2019d begot.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Offering isn\u2019t \u2018finished\u2019<\/p>\n
Until the sacrifice<\/p>\n
For any true atonement<\/p>\n
Blood shed must suffice.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n Behold the Lamb of God<\/p>\n Who takes away our sin<\/p>\n God accepts no substitutes<\/p>\n For Jesus, in the end.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did he ponder Isaac Whilst hanging on the cross A last second substitute Before all was lost?
