COVER TO COVER IN 2020
Among my most meaningful things to do
while reading the Holy Scriptures through
is
write Messiah's name in the margin
of
the Old Testament, where'er I find Him.
Of
course, I do not find Jesus' name,
but I certainly find Him, just the same.
I
find Him in the Lamb and the Lion,
foreshadows of the Temple in Zion,
find Him in Joshua, David, Passover,
in
the Song, the whale, cover to cover.
I've thumbed through pages and jotted a few
Messianic treasures to share with you:
Messiah's birth’s foretold in Micah, five;
seven centuries later, Jesus arrived;
virgin birth proclaimed, Isaiah seven,
a
Son to be fathered by God in Heaven.
Kings will bow down to Him and nations serve,
Solomon's Psalm Seventy-two observes.
He'll be pierced and mourned, says Zechariah;
Our Redeemer, fifty-three, Isaiah,
which foretells of resurrection glory!
Genesis to Revelation, God's true story!
The Word reveals a magnificent plan
in
this tome of Our Savior, God and Man.
Well, now that Twenty Twenty is here
I’ll suggest a resolution without
peer:
Resolve to read before this year’s
over,
the Holy Bible, cover to cover.
It contains everything we need to know
about God’s love and grace and how to
grow.
Let’s read the story beginning to end
of our Sovereign Savior and closest
Friend!
