Once

Death
unknown
in Jesus,
life eternal.

Men fall to capture
the power of salvation,
absolute affirmation
in His act of grace.

The Son of Man
paid the price
for all,
once.

    Beautiful Message ~

    The form is almost flawless ~

     

    Perfect syllable count ~

     

    I felt the lines were a bit choppy and did not allow

     the reader to flow through this comfortably

    without staggering....but only a bit ~

     

    Only 1.1 pts deducted for that ~

     

    A very nice entry over all ~

     

    The best to you in this contest,

     

    Bear ~

    I agree with Cannonfire, Jesus came to save us from the fiery pit as he took the sins of the world on his shoulders and paid the price so we could have eternal life... Thanks for sharing this poem with me and god bless in your challenge...

    AMEN

    You did a great job here with Arkbear's new form!

    Praise God for His sacrifice for me and you. Praise God that it is done - we do not have to do anything but believe in "His act of grace."

    God bless you abundantly today and all days!

    In His perfect love,

    Jo

    Very nice ~

    Thank you so much for your entry ~

    I will review your entry for certain criteria

    expected from this contest ~

    If you do not hear back from me within

    12 hours of the contest deadline, you

    should not have anything to worry about,

    as long as EVERYTHING in the

    RULES have been followed ~

    I will review syllable count many times,

    AND, if there is/are any line/s missing a syllable/s,

    I will let you know only ONCE!

    I am looking forward to reviewing your entry ~

    However, Judging will NOT take place until

    closing of this contest, therefore,

    I will TRY not to read the Theme

    or Storyline until that time.....however,

    .....sometimes I get tempted to break

    my own rules and take a peek ~

    SMILE...God loves YOU! 

    The best of luck to you in this contest!

    Sincerely,

    Bear ~

    You capture the power of Christs' saving grace in so few words. Less is more, here.
    Well done!

    Ah! Yes! Christ died for US. He paid the cost for our sinful nature. It was always as it should have been. I am so grateful He died for me. Had He not been the sacrifice for my sinful soul, I would surely be destined to burn in hell. A very praiseworthy poem poet. Thank you eversomuch for the inspiration this poetry brings. I say HALLELUJAH! Praise His Holy Name!


    Much Love ♥

    AMEN!

    Indeed, our Lord died "once" for all. Alas, not all are willing to repent, rather choosing to live by "man's commandments and traditions." And, as Paul taught, they put Jesus to shame and hang Him again and again on the cross.

    Beautifully done and powerfully delivered, dear sister! Why don't you email this to me, so it can be included in the TSaS broadcast?

    Much love and hugs, SisB♥n
