Un-Doomed (Poem)

Guilty! Our damning verdict from God’s Courtroom.
Death!! His sentence given to us, natural.
Death!!! The extension of His sentence, eternal.
Hopeless!!!! Our condition under our sinful plume!

Yet in this, our hopeless state, His Mercy bloomed.
While we would still have to face death, naturally,
He made a way for us to live, eternally.
By death, we would not be forever consumed!

On His Son, Jesus, God’s focus then zoomed.
By our sin, He would be bound!
By His death, we would be free!
Across all of Heaven, this plan mushroomed!!

In His Son, God would send a model by Whom,
We would have an example in our life to follow,
And to know in resurrection, from death He would lead.
Thus, we could see after death, life would resume.

For His coming Son, Earth had to be groomed:
A man, family, nation, then two couples selected,
While on Earth, Genesis 3:15 was so neglected.
...All details in order, even His tomb.

Finally, God’s seed, planted in Mary’s womb,
Grew into the cute, Christmas Babe,
Then into the crucified Man.
On Him, the focus of angels and devils zoomed.

Finally, Christ’s dead body was entombed.

His astonishing miracles had come to an end.

Or as He had promised, was this simply a fresh start?

‘It’s the end!’, devils and doubters assumed!

Ahhh, but three days later…
An angel rolled the stone away from that tomb,
Not so Jesus, resurrected, could get out,
But so His faithful followers could get in,
And know that by death, He was not consumed.

He would meet them after a trip to God’s Throne Room,
Where He offered His blood, spiritually,
Then back to Earth to meet them, physically.
Through a closed door, He walked into their hiding room.

Most were in faith, but one was in doubt and gloom.
‘Thomas, see the wounds in My Hands. Don’t doubt!

Put your hand in My pierced side. Just believe!’
Ahhh. Feel the peace as, in Thomas, faith resumed.

Through them, the Good News to the world would resume:

Mankind’s debt for sin that each of us owed,
By Christ’s sacrifice for us, had been paid.
So now, our eternal lives could be un-doomed.

Friend,

The reason He arose from death and left His tomb,

Is so that, to us, a choice would be given.

Choose Jesus as your Christ, the best choice taken.

As you read, Heaven’s focus is now on you zoomed.

All of mankind would have been forever doomed,
Had Jesus not died for the sins of the world.
But the world comprises people just like you.

Un-break His Heart. Ensure your life is un-doomed.
