This poem is about what God may have been thinking when planning to send his only son to die for us and save us from our sins; if we only believe. He tempted us in the beginning. Now he has given us a way back..

A History of Easter From God's point of view By Franklin Price 4/14/2017 Through Adam's fault at Eve's behest The Serpent's fruit was bit Mankind was condemned for life From just one taste of it I threw them from the garden Where all was peace and good Gave them the power to decide There went the neighborhood The two begat and theirs begat And theirs begat some more Every generation sinned There was so much to explore I looked down, cringed from the sight, Rethought what I had done It's time I saved a few of them Think I'll send them down my son To live his life as they should live By example show the way Die on the cross for all their sins Rise from the grave on Easter day Show his followers it's truly him By the nail scars in his hands Say go and preach what happened Spread the word throughout the lands Then he will rise up to me To sit again upon my right To wait and see what happens To see who will take the bite For those who believe I did it That I sacrificed my son Who believe he is your savior That he is the only one Who live your lives as he did his Bring honor and be good When you die we'll meet in heaven That's how we save the neighborhood
