If There Were To Be A Fifth Gospel... Poem by Doug Blair

If There Were to be a Fifth Gospel…



We are told now
To rest in Christ's merits (chapter 4)
As the glorious
"Fifth Gospel" explains.
His the matchless
Unstoppable priesthood
ONCE the scapegoat (chapter 9)
For all of our pains.
Oh we had all
The rules of the Temple
And the endless
Procession of Lambs.
But in Hebrews
We know it is
Finished, praise God
We trust in our
Blessed I AM.
All the rituals merge
In the one rite
Just to gaze on
His Cross and repent.
Blessed Hebrew folk
You are the line
Grace has used
All your heroes knew
What this Grace meant. (chapter 11)
As the priest bore
His nation on breastplate
So Messiah bears
Us in His prayer.
And we will enter
Into the home of His rest
Yes the King of
Kings waits on us there.
