Choosing to be the Sacrifice - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Only in the example
the one great moment
Christ coming from heaven
to walk upon the earth

Humbling himself
emptied of heaven
donning human flesh
to teach us of God

What love truly is
the grace of our Savior
healing the people
and offering his witness

The nature of God
in his teaching
in his choosing to suffer
to die for our sins

Choosing to be
our sacrifice, the lamb
taking our sin
the stain of our disobedience

Humbly healing
our rift with God
restoring the path
the way back to him

Cuts approved by the NH House Finance Committee and
Constitutional Amendment proposed by Rep. Neal Kirk
to remove safety net of town welfare
&
John 3:16 versus Leviticus 4
&
calling on the NH Legislature
and the Governor
to spare those without a voice
those who need us
from the severe budget cuts
that are currently planned
in HB1 and HB2, etc.
&
