The blood
painted on the doorway
Side to side
and lintel above
shaping a
foreshadowed cross
and the Angel of death
passed over,
Echoing into the future
leading to another doorway
another covenant
a different promised hope,
a final rocky hill cross,

Where death would be destroyed
Where fear would be buried
Where the gateways of hell
would crumble,
Where religious restrictions
would be broken,
this cross
a love creation
a love weapon
a forever resurrection change
a universe transformation
this cross
this Christ.

Starting Thoughts:
A connection via doorways from the Passover in Israel to the new covenant that Jesus opened through the cross and the power of his resurrection.
