This poem expresses a persistent theme in my life and Christian walk–always trying, always failing to make my own way, ever believing it was a divine charge.

On surveying the devastated Germany following WWII, the chancellor remarked to Billy Graham:

Mr. Graham, what is the most important thing in the world? The resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is alive, then there is hope for the world. If Jesus Christ is in the grave, then I don’t see the slightest glimmer of hope on the horizon.

As He did for Abraham on Mt. Moriah, God provided the sacrifice in substitution for our sons and daughters. As He commanded Moses, He then provided in fullness the spotless Passover Lamb. The veil was torn, never to be mended. The Earth shook, never to stop its quaking.

One day for certain, soon, I pray,
a new crescendo will display
the unveiled glory long hidden away.
Even as He walked the Earth
in keeping with His lowly birth
then flesh and dust concealed his worth.
On that day will naught be veiled
though nations will have against Him railed
Man's machinations will have failed
and righteousness will flood the land
bursting forth from nail-scarred hand
fulfilling all which He had planned:
New heavens, new Earth, Christ glorified in command.
