Before the #Jordan - v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #incarnation #Emmanuel

Fully God, fully human,
tempted as we are, but without sin,
before the Jordan, His baptism,
thirty years in this wilderness,
before his three years of ministry,
as an infant, as a man, a carpenter,
fully aware of His identity –
Fully God, fully man…
 
Before the Jordan, His anointing,
before the Dove descended,
before Christ’s transfiguration,
ablaze with heavenly light,
the weight of temptation,
fully human yet without sin,
Christ is now seated in heaven,
Fully God, fully man…

Capitalizing His Names #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #incarnation #Emmanuel

Honoring our Father,
His Son, our Brother,
God’s Holy Spirit within,
capitalizing His names
in awe, in reverence,
to our Creator, our King…
 
He is worthy of His names,
The Lord is worthy forever…
We humbly bow before Him
Even as He is now mortal
descended from heaven…
Christ is forever human…

Capitalizing His names
in reverent worship…
His kingdom is unending…
Holy God, our Savior,
Emmanuel, Messiah,
We sing praises to our King…

On Word spell check and Grammarly correcting  
my use of capitalization of the pronouns of God,
consistent with old hymns and carols,
unlike many modern Christian songs…

Enter His throne room,
Stand before the Father,
triumphant in Christ,
our risen Lord and Savior…
 
Hold fast to our confession,
our repentance before God,
We have a High Priest
who offers us peace…
 
Enter His throne room,
Assured of our salvation…
The sacrifice of Christ
leads to our redemption…

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…

Messianic Words – v2

Messianic words, of this moment,
prophetic articles of faith
of pain, of trust in God,
even in our transgressions
the curse of our stain, our sin,
the blood our Savior carried
when He bore the Father’s wrath
when He felt separated from God…
 
How powerful His praise, His worship
His certainty of protection, defiant,
the power of His faith, His truth,
holy in His Spirit, exalted,
in His pouring out of worship
His life His own Ransom
piercing His hands and feet
our holy sacrifice…

Messianic Words – v2
 
Based on #Psalm22
Based on Psalm 22:1
Based on #Matthew27:46,
Jesus cries: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
re:generation, Step 6, Repent, Large Group, June 30, 2025
“Everyone today focuses on Christ's words of Psalm 22:1, on the cross; but as the leader was reading the whole psalm to the large group Monday night, I was hearing the promises of God that were in the original full psalm, what Jesus knew and what the original hearers who heard his cry on the cross would have known. It was a moment of abandonment, a separation from God perhaps in verse 1, but the rest of the psalm 22 was a powerful witness that God had not abandoned Him or the people of Israel, or any of us who believe...”

Messianic Words

Messianic words, of this moment,
Prophetic articles of faith
of pain, of trust
in our transgressions
the curse of our stain
the blood our Savior carried
when He bore the Father’s wrath
when He felt separated from God…
 
How powerful His praise
His certainty of protection
the power of His faith
holy in His spirit
in His pouring out of worship
His life His own Ransom
piercing His hands and feet
our holy sacrifice…

God knows my pain

God knows my pain
every aspect of my struggle
God knows the harms against me
God knows my scar tissue…
 
God knows my pain
deep hurt that haunts me
God wants me to let go and
Give them to Him completely…
 
God knows my pain
but He wants to heal me fully
God reaches out His hand
through the person of Christ Jesus…
 
God knows my pain
He wants me to give it to Him
God alone can heal me
of the deep hurt within me…

Christ died to save me

Knowing my sin completely
Christ descended from heaven,
Christ died to save me
climbing my cross instead…
 
I do not earn salvation
Christ suffered God’s wrath for me,
I bow humbly before Him
my risen Savior and Lord…
 
Only through Him do I have salvation,
will I not have to suffer death,
only through the blood of Jesus
can I stand before Almighty God…

Christ took God’s Wrath

Christ took God’s Wrath
every sin I have committed
Christ lay down His life
and paid the debt for my sin…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
and made a way for me,
a debt I could never repay,
Christ bought my forgiveness…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
in a singular act of submission
Christ bore the cross for me
so I could stand before the Father…

God has always loved me

Before I existed, before Creation,
God has always loved me,
knowing every step of my life,
God is all omniscient, faithful,
God himself is love…
 
God has always loved me,
He chose to create me,
God took the clay of my flesh
God made a person of me,
God set me on my path…
