Poem
When the beloved disciple named John wrote in the first line of his gospel book, He was writing to his Jewish people because over time their God they forsook, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” Was a reference to your coming as the one sent by the Father in fulfillment of his word. From John’s book we learn that you were the one speaking the word at the world’s creation, And that as a part of the divine plan, you had come to bring fallen mankind salvation, So, you laid aside your divinity and became one with humanity, To thereby provide a way for sinful man to live with God in eternity. By a miraculous process you were implanted in the womb of virgin meek and mild, And at the end of a period of nine months, you were born as Mary’s infant child. That the one without beginning could be born and held in his mother’s bosom, Is a mystery too great for our finite and degenerate human minds to fathom. As a human child you increased in wisdom and stature and gained favor with God and man, There was no doubt in your mind that your purpose on earth was to fulfill your Father’s plan, Which involved you dying for our sins after perfectly obeying all that His holy laws demand. O what condescension on your part, to accomplish the salvation of fallen humankind. Among those born of women there will never be one like you on earth, Its history is subdivided into B.C., the period before your birth, And A.D., the period after, erroneously interpreted by many as “after death.” Your powerful influence extends across this world’s entire breadth. Jesus, centuries after you have come and gone, your name is still a cause of offense, There are those who reject you as a fraud, and those who come to your defense, One group surrender their will and accept you as the God of their salvation, While the other steadfastly refuse to submit to your loving dominion. Before ascending to heaven, you promised one day to return, To receive those who through the Holy Spirit have been reborn, So, in faith we await the salvation that was from eternity planned, And one day go home with you to dwell in that heavenly land.
