Sua Perfeita Expiação (His Perfect Atonement)

Monday, September 14, 2015

Family and Friends that I love so much!

I'm approaching a year and found a poem that sums up how I felt and what I now understand about the atoning power of Christ in my life and the lives of others...I left it in Portuguese first because this language really touches me and speaks to my heart...

Antes eu achava que havia um buraco na expiação de Cristo- Que Ele podia salvar todos- exceto eu. Mas eu estava errada. Não há apenas um buraco, mas sete. Dois buracos em suas mãos pelos quais eles O pregaram A uma cruz em favor daqueles pelos quais Ele morreria para salvá-los. Dois buracos em seus punhos por meio dos quais eles garantiram que o peso de seu corpo não faria com que suas mãos se dilacerassem antes que sua pena estivesse cumprida. Dois buracos em seus pés sobre os quais Ele foi uma testemunha para todos do amor inabalável de Deus por todos os seus filhos. E um buraco em Seu lado pelo qual eles O transpassaram para provar que sua obra estava concluída. Sete. Perfeição. Sete perfeitos buracos. No único Homem perfeito da Terra. A Perfeita Expiação para reparar os buracos de nossa vida. Seus buracos nos tornam inteiros. Eu estava errada. Existe uma parte da Expiação de Cristo para mim afinal de contas...


I used to believe
That there was a hole
In Christ’s Atonement—
That He could save everyone—
Except me.

But I was wrong.
There is not one hole,
But seven.

Two holes in
His Hands
Where they nailed Him
To a cross
At the behest of those
He would die
To save,

Two holes in
His wrists
Where they ensured
The weight of His body
Would not cause
His hands
To rip through
Before His penance
Was complete,

Two holes in
His feet
Where He stood
As a witness to all
Of God’s unyielding love
For each
Of His children,

And one hole in
His side
Where they pierced Him
To prove His work
Was done.

Seven.
Perfection.
Seven perfect holes
In earth’s only
Perfect Man.

The perfect Atonement
To patch the holes in our lives.
His holes make us
Whole.

I was wrong.
There is a
Whole
In Christ’s Atonement
For me
After all.

I love my Savior and know that in the end, He will be my support and that there is room for me in his arms as I make room for him in my life. I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the miracles I receive daily at his loving hand...
