Real Deal NOT A Fair Deal, But A Very Big Deal...and a Done Deal!

For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

1. Write a deal poem.
2. Write a no deal poem.

God said,

So, here’s the deal

Man’s doomed to hell

Their best works

Infested by pride

A hopeless lot

Me, oft forgot

Unless their

Comfort is denied

The curse they bear

Since Eden where

Evil dared Eve to take a bite

Then Adam too, brought, through these two a need man's sacrifice can't right

We need a Lamb, A perfect Lamb without blemish or spot, to heal

Jesus said, ‘Father, here I AM’... God said, my Beloved, so, here’s the deal...

Son, I'll send You

Faultless and true

To be the scapegoat

for My Bride

Humility

And love will be

Tortured, hated,

then crucified

So that The Lost

(though vile the cost)

May find hope through

their sins forgiven

The cross becomes

A footbridge from

the gates of hell

to the gates of Heaven

That's the deal,

Mt precious Son

Jesus replied,

"Thy will be done"
