Paradise: The First Victim
In the beginning:
God made the world perfect and so pure,
With its paradise and its pleasures.
Down came the tempter and all its devilish lures,
The first couple chased after its foolish allures.
Puffed up by pride their purpose became blurred,
Man became a sinner with its penalty so sure.
Man needed a remedy for its condition and a cure,
God moved with wisdom and love without measure.
God provided a lamb to cover man’s sinful nature,
To forever teach us this Gospel Truth and treasure.
…the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world…
~ John 1:29
