By His Stripes
”Oyez!” “Oyez!”
There is a pattern here,
come one, come all , and lend an ear.
The mother Zebra to her newborn
turns her back
and by these means
she imprints.
The stripes.
For days this will happen
’til the babe
has got the pattern.
Always thereafter
he will follow.
Never losing his way.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. Numbers 21: 8 (KJV)
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53: 5. ( KJV)
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:14-16. (KJV)
As you look up at Jesus
hanging
on the cross
for you.
Look upon His stripes
and live.
Imprint on your mind this pattern
these bands
taken for you.
You will never
lose your way
If you do.
“Oyez!” “Oyez!”
