Deliverance from bondage of sin Archives - Page 3 of 4

The Jewish Messiah Foretold

While the ‘Tanach’, Old Testament
Clearly details, Messiah’s picture
Most Pharisees, rejecting Jesus
The One fulfilling, God’s scripture.

So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.

Learn from Adam, our wrongs
We must own, and not hide
Nor blame others, but confess
And repent…. in Christ abide.

Despite our striving to be ‘good’
We fall short, are unrighteous
Messiah’s offering, atonement
By faith, we’re made righteous.

Trusting, God’s Messiah
His Son, offered for our sin
To forgive us, make us righteous
Circumcise us within.

“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.

So, we celebrate Christmas
But are missing the Messiah
No manger no mention
Of our need, to look higher.

This mystery unfolded
God reached out as man
As the Lord of Creation
As Messiah, His plan.
