Choice Before Jesus

Sacred Secret It started with a lie It started with a choice Choice to obey the Creator Choice to listen to another voice Voice of God's enemy Voice that incites disobedience Disobedience leads to sinful state Disobedience leads to death Death for all humankind Death because of one man's sin Sin is a missing of the mark Sin can be forgiven by God God had a purpose in mind God had designed an earthly paradise Paradise that was lost to humans Paradise could be found again Again we could have God's favour Again we could be free Free from sin and death Free from lies and slavery Slavery to disobedience Slavery to suffering Suffering for centuries Suffering without relief Relief was promised, but by whom? Relief identity was still a mystery Mystery of a sacred secret Mystery explained to Abraham Abraham was told "look to the skies above" Abraham would have children like the stars Stars without number Stars that would bring light Light that would illuminate dark days Light that would bless all humankind Humankind that was born in sin Humankind that needed a saviour Saviour identity was the mystery Saviour would come from Abraham Abraham had many sons Abraham son Isaac was God's choice Isaac became father to Jacob Isaac became father to Israel Israel became a large nation Israel produced the Messiah Messiah was the saviour of the world Messiah was the man born Jesus of Nazareth Jesus identity was the hidden secret Jesus sacrifice was so sacred Sacred Secret John Derek Hamilton May 29,2016

Your right Jo, his sacrifice was a sacred secret, but now the whole word knows about it, it's what we do now that the secret has been revealed that matters. Thanks so much for your views. JDH
