running down the ridge line
the fall line, the pitch
the bull #moose heading
for busy Route 1
not stopping for pictures
a bright #fall afternoon
avoiding an encounter
through the bumper, the grill

a road of freedom
a road of freedom
confessing our sin
to leave our chains
the burden we carry
to leave the stones of our past.
a road of freedom
centering on Jesus
admitting our sins
dropping our stones
that weight upon us.
a road of freedom
unburdened, lifted
confessing our sins
our mistakes, our struggles
where we fall short.

#Christ humbled himself
#God #incarnate
became the #Servant
to God the Father
Christ humed himself
to redeem our sin.
God incarnate
became the Servant
climbing the cross
enduring our shame
to redeem our sin.
#Isaiah #Daniel #poetry #poem #God #hope #Spirit #Christ @PastorRuthFoss
the #Savior was the #Servant
the Savior was the Servant
nailed to the cross
sin was vanquished
death is no more
the Holy Spirit calls us
to gift us our Lord Jesus
it is our choice, free will,
to accept God's grace
