Light Shall Shine Out of Darkness!

First Fruits

Brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way. – Romans 12:1

For all mankind, the price was steep,
yielding a crop for God to reap,
for through His Son, God gave His best.

Forever kohen, our high priest,
enables us to keep the feast,
the Sabbath in the flesh expressed.

We live because His work is done,
knowing now the battle is won,
by His gift of unbroken rest.

      • I was just wondering because of your mention of “Priest”. I personally believe the actual Sabbath is the Seventh day – Saturday – as taught in Genesis and enshrined in the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 written in stone by the finger of God…

      • Thank you, Dabir.

        The Word priest references Jesus in this poem. In Hebrews 4, Jesus is said to be the Great High Priest.

        “14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
