1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (The Message)
Death swallowed by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?
It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!
UNEQUAL ~ BITTERSWEET
You died on Calvary
a cross of agony
†
The price we could not pay
Redeemer made a way
†
Paid for our sin and guilt
New Testament was built
†
Resurrection complete
Unequal ~ Bittersweet
And now for today’s (optional) prmpt. This is a bit silly, but it’s Saturday. I recently got a large illustrated guide to sea shells. There are some pretty wild names for sea shells. Today I challenge you to take a look at the list of actual sea shell names below, and to use one or more of them to write a poem. You poem doesn’t have to be about sea shells at all — just inspired by one or more of the names.

Snout Otter Clam
Strawberry Top
Incised Moon
Sparse Dove
False Cup-and-Saucer

Happy writing!
