to appease God’s #wrath #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #incarnation #Emmanuel

not merely expiation, paying the penalty,
a cancellation of the judgment,
Christ came as our one propitiation
to appease the wrath of God,
to satisfy God’s righteous verdict,
to heal us of the condemnation of sin…
 
only the perfect lamb, the Christ,
could bring us back to Him,
only One who was Himself righteous,
One who was without sin
could seal the breach between us,
could bring us back to God…
 
Christ became mortal flesh,
God Himself entered time,
bound by the created order,
becoming our perfect sacrifice,
paying the price, the debt we could not,
Christ climbed our cross for us
to heal us fully within…
