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.
