The Word Became Flesh

The
hand
extended

was
our
remedy,
death

being
everyone’s
curse.
Adonai,
making
expiation,

furnishing
life
eternal,
sacrified
himself.

—————

expiation - removal of sin
Adonai - literally, ‘Lord’, one of many names for the Godhead

Beautiful acrostic, I like to call these types a narrative acrostic b/c they tell a story as well as using the first letters of each word as a line starter. Lovely spiritual piece.
