Options of Omnipotence

"Unto you, O men, I call… For whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.  But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul" (Proverbs 8:4,35,36).  "Preach… the preaching that I bid thee" (Jonah 3:2).  "The Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And He was numbered with the transgressors.  And they that passed by railed on Him… saying… Save thyself, and come down from the cross.  Likewise also the chief priests mocking said… He saved others; Himself He cannot save" (Mark 15:28-31). 

The call of God to everyone

Extends the option of His favor,

But all those who reject God's Son

Deprive their souls of heaven's Savior. 

The preaching that our Lord has bidden

Of things foretold have been fulfilled.

Salvation's purpose was not hidden

When Christ, the Lamb of God, was killed. 

The options then for Christ were two: 

To save Himself or save the lost. 

Thank God for what He chose to do: 

He died to pay our ransom's cost! 

The options of omnipotence

O Lord, were subject to Your love:  

For us You bore sin's consequence

As our Defender from above!
