No Substitution by Raymond A. Foss


Only one worthy
one sacrifice sufficient
to remove the stain
no substitution possible
the lamb alone
the son of the living God
no substitution possible
he alone could save us
he alone paid the price
through the curtain of death
bringing us back to God

July 14, 2010
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
