A Finished Work Christmas

A Finished Work Christmas

From before the foundation of the earth
Part of God’s plan was the virgin birth.
He had to become a man you see
To show what man was meant to be
The One that came forth from that manger bed,
Lived a perfect life in Adam’s stead.
He owed no debt for sin that was due
When He went to the cross, He went there as you.
What God couldn’t stand about you and me
He became that day, as He hung on the tree.
As your “old man”, He suffered and died
And descended to Hell til’ the Father cried;
“I’m satisfied; justice is done.”
Then up from the pit came the Pattern Son.
The First begotten of a brand new race
For all who believe and rest in His grace.
If as you, He suffered on the cross that day
And as you, in Hell the price did pay,
Then all your judgment is in the past.
In Christ “Praise God” you’re free at last.
In Him there is no condemnation.
You arose with Him as a New Creation
And now you’re seated in him on high
You’ve past through death, “You’ll never die.”
So, rejoice as we celebrate Christ’s birth,
As it is in Heaven, so it is on earth.
Bill Briggs - 2000

Every work of art began as a thought...MERRY CHRISTMAS!
