'God will provide, my son.' Abraham said <br />as poor Isaac to the altar was led <br />and there standing before them stood a ram. <br />God's merciful provision for Abraham. <br /> <br />For God’s only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ <br />arranged with His Father to be sacrificed. <br />He would carry out the plan they agreed <br />and the price would be paid by Abraham’s Seed. <br /> <br />His death on the cross was the only way <br />and there’d be no reprieve for Him that day. <br />So up the hill of Golgotha He went <br />and for our sin His life was to be spent <br /> <br />No substitute was provided for Him <br />when as The Lamb of God He bore our sin. <br />And we can look up and see taking place <br />God's merciful provision for the Human Race. <br /> <br /> <br />(additional background information is provided in the Poem's story box below)<br /><br />Roy Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-abraham-s-seed/
