Always about Grace

1 Corinthians 15:45 

45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”;

the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

The first I understand a bit,

but all after the Fall.

Adam was ... we must admit

never to die at all.

The living being ... he possessed

was life living after all.

A dying being he became

and that after the Fall.

Jesus was a living being

as Adam before the Fall.

Sinless, pure and clean He was

no death in Him at all.

He only died by taking our sins.

He drank these to make His Own.

He asked The Father to take the cup

for through our sin He died alone.

He was more than pure in flesh.

His Spirit encompassed life.

He never failed the expectation of God

as He served and loved and cried.

Jerusalem! ... Jerusalem!

How oft did I ask you to follow?

I wanted to take you under My wings

and deliver you from sorrow.

I wanted to give My life to you.

You know I had that power.

When I came to do just that

you killed and crushed this Flower.

The Lily of the valley was with you

through your rebellion and your good.

Yes, the law was to show you clear

My great Love and Grace for you.

No natural was ever involved

it was just direction to you.

Just believe and live by faith

that’s all I wanted you to do.
