Shadows of the Cross When Adam and Eve disobeyed Sin entered the world that day It was a shadow of the cross God’s plan to save the lost When Cain killed Abel in rage His heart attitude set the stage Jesus fully humbled Himself Shadow of daily dying to self When God sent the flood waters Noah and family saved no others Severity of sin brought destruction Shadowed the cross final solution When Abraham willingly obeyed God’s command Issac to be slayed By his faith God supplied the ram Jesus gave His life the great I AM When God instituted the Passover Blood on the door He passed over Sacrificed lamb without blemish Shadowed the Lamb it is finished When Lazarus was sick Jesus delayed By His arrival in four days he had died Why the long wait to reveal God’s glory Raising him to life shadowed Easter story On the cross Jesus fulfilled God’s plan His blood shed paid all the sins of man My friend, He is risen the tomb is empty He is your only hope for today and eternity As Jesus accepted the faith of the thief He will do the same by your simple belief Salvation is not automatic and universal Free will to choose spiritual death reversal Have you come to Jesus at the foot of the cross Placing your faith in Him realizing you are lost If not, accept His free gift of eternal life today Be certain Heaven will be your home someday © Carol S. 4/6/12 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
