LEVITICUS

God’s heart is satisfied
By the excellence of the blood
On the excellence of the gold:
My heart is gratified
By the One who went with the burden
Of my sins upon Him.

EXODUS

Enslaved to toil in Egypt’s mud
Although they were God’s own they sighed:
The God of Israel replied
By telling them He is I AM
By valuing the precious blood,
And feeding them upon the lamb.

GENESIS

In Luke 24 : 27 the Lord beginning from Moses interpreted to His two wandering disciples in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.  Thinking of this I have looked at the Old Testament and tried to draw out from each a little impression of Christ. Obviously there is infinitely more in any one of them!
So here we begin with Genesis:

The father-beloved became
The brethren-rejected; thus
As called from man-bondage
Suitable to be
Life-sustainer, world-saviour,
Truth-declarer.

LINK

The Spirit gives us
The sense in our souls that we
Have a link with God.

GREAT

Mercy is great to answer my great need;
And grace is great to win God His great seed.

AN UNSUSPECTING STATE

Our God, Thy grace is great,
And great Thy will to bless
And a mature believer knows
'An unsuspecting state
of conscious happiness
with Him from whom all blessing flows'.

RUNES

(Eve)
This beauty, replete, rare,
Is Woman.

(Rebecca)
Both in the willing and the working,
Captivating.

(Leah)
If not the first
This was the fecund love.

(Acsah)
Full of zest and thirst,
She springs with agility.

(Abigail)
Her soul bound with mine in
The bundle of the living.

(Shulamite)
Gracefulness and dignity,
Embrue each footstep.

(Woman of Worth)
More valuable than rubies
This woman I have found!
