Submission

A willing sacrifice.


They went to the mount

One burdened with supplies,

Other burdened with concern

over what the Lord required of him.


Obedience.

The Lord required

A willing sacrifice.


Father,

who had plead,

waited,

prayed,

and received

his only begotten son

asked to give

his most precious gift

to God.


Son,

He who carried the sticks

for the offering,

upon realization of the circumstance

stayed.


He became the lamb

in the thicket.

In that moment

he did not know

that his father’s hand

would be stayed.


Standing,

seeing,

suddenly understanding

the role of

The Lamb,


He submitted

to the will of his father

and became


A willing sacrifice.
