The Dawn of Redeeming Grace Contemplated

The dawn of redeeming grace took place
Not with the gospels but Genesis 3 when
God told the serpent this:
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
and you shall bruise Him on the heel."
From that time on, man anticipate
The coming Redeemer;
It may be that Eve thought her first born to be that,
Looking at her response to his birth in Genesis 4.
Instead, he proved to be of the seed of the serpent.
For millennia man look for the Redeemer.
Then after centuries of silence,
Angels proclaimed both the coming of His forerunner and of the Redeemer Himself.
Redeeming Grace to Adam's race came through
The Second Adam who took the place of sinners, tho9ugh sinless.
So we too come and adore Him, Christ, the Lord, and
Anticipate His second coming even now.
Adoni!
Maranatha!
