Blanket Us … Our Sins

Constant groaning
us together. Yes in pain
all Humanity.

Red, yellow
black or white.
Races international–
interrelated our family.

We grieve after we bleed
during our reoccurring
tragedies.

Will this end–
this sick cycle

a carousel
revolving
sin, death,

our
suffering?

Is there provided
an escape or key?

Yes, a ransom for salvation.

A death to thick blanket
our chilling iniquities.

Lost

perfect life
filled with plenty.
Endless and peaceful.
One of tranquility.

Needed

a perfect human
faithful

to reestablish

God’s
earthly purpose
for all of Adam’s
obedient
progeny.

So Christ came
in love was sent.

God let his innocent blood
be violently spent.

His
law of
“life for life”

He covered.

“The wages sin pays is death”
will then rescind
a horrendous existence
for all

who in contrition repent.

Just imagine, for example,
a town where most are happily employed
at a factory large and gainful.

Every day all work at ease
and live in joy.

Paid well

living comfortably
you, neighbors, all well fed
until one day unexpected
the factory closes.

Manager corrupt,
he secretly fled
during the dead of night.

Bankruptcy followed
after funds he stole
for himself selfishly instead.

All bonds
plus cd’s dishonorably sold.

Now unemployed,
you, your neighbors.
Bills mounting to growing hills.
Marriages rocky,
children anxious

as these families crave
daily bread.

Creditors harassing
cause more pressure.

All because of one man’s greed.

Is this darkness everlasting?
Or will someone fill a need?

Yes, indeed!… A wealthy benefactor
decides to graciously intervene.

He appreciates the company’s value.
For its many employees and their families feels.

So compassionately he arranges
to pay off debts
reopen locked doors
to this foreclosed factory.

Never to anyone indecent sublet.

This future hope
around the town
causing happy squeals.

A cancellation
of this one debt
to the many relief it brings.

Birds are chirping
in celebration
singing praises

His name
to ring the bells of justice.

Because
love
insists on equality.

So, likewise the course we travel
brought about through no fault of our own

Adam’s debt
through Christ’s innocent blood
canceled

benefits untold millions
who choose to serve God
for Eternity.

Ourselves to gratefully
forever disown.

Propitiation
Let’s look at the biblical word ‘PROPITIATION’, here’s some verses to help you.
Romans 3:25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
Hebrews 2:17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
1 John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

I am looking for some poetical pieces relating to this word ‘Propitiation’, telling either what it means and how it applies to our relationship to God or just choose one of the verses listed and write something on that particular verse.
So go for it , looking forward to some real spiritual gems.no Bible bashing
