Through the hands of men
not his hand on the knife
the lamb the sacrifice
God killing his son
The unblemished lamb
the holy only son
carrying our stain
becoming the sacrifice
Such a moment, unimaginable
giving his life for ours
bringing us back to life
through his loving sacrifice

Genesis 22:1-19
Abraham faithful in sacrificing
his first born son Isaac,
God providing substitute lamb;
Christ becoming the sacrificial lamb
with no substitution;
the pain of the Father on Good Friday
when his son died for us.
&
Hebrews 10:1-14
Christ was the one priest able to make
one sacrifice for all time
&
John 11:32-44
John 11:35
“Jesus wept” for his friend Lazarus,
though he knew he would rise
&
Jeremiah 31:15
Rachel crying for her children
who are no more
