A new take on a Nursery Rhyme!
Baa, baa, black sheep, (invisible Father)
Have you any wool? (power, to raise the dead)
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master, (Christ the firstfruits)
And one for the dame, (Christ's at his coming)
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane. (far off children of disobedience)
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
1 Cor 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Cor 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Cor 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Cor 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1 Cor 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Cor 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
George, to get to sleep...you could try counting all the sheep that Jesus will save!
