LOST

“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.  Luke 15:4-5

Before I understood

you had a plan

Not just for me,

but for every man

woman and child.

A sacrifice

which would suffice

to bridge the gap, 

tear the curtain in two

opening up the view

to reconciliation,

restoration

and repatriation

The fig leaves changed 

into robes of righteousness,

the moment I said "Yes!"

You don't have to believe

in Adam and Eve,

or the seduction of the serpent.

All that is required

is for you to concede

that Christ is what you need

and that his death was not in vain

because he rose again

and you will praise his name.
