A KING'S RANSOM

A KING’S RANSOM 

I Timothy 2:5-6a

Heaven is a holy place; 

So sinners cannot live there. 

Only one could pay the price for our sins, 

Though the price was very unfair. 

Jesus Christ, both God and man, 

Came to Earth to make a way. 

He was scorned, abused and tempted, 

But sinless He would stay. 

Jesus knew what His future held, 

Humiliation and great pain, 

To die was His reason for coming to Earth; 

Love from us was His only gain. 

When that day had finally come, 

And prophecies were fulfilled, 

Jesus paid a King’s ransom, 

When on the cross He was killed. 

Heaven’s gates are now open, 

To those who do God’s will, 

Whose hearts are bonded to His, 

And through trials love Him still.

I Timothy 2:5-6a For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

1 Peter 1:18-19 We “were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."
