Poem
In eternity past, the Father asks the Son to go down. Having equal Love for humans the "Yes" comes fast. When Creation leads to time, the world waits for 4 BC Marking the start of the end of Satan's long rule at last. Did Satan laugh at the poor setting for Jesus' birth here? A cry in a cave for animals pierces the night, changing all. Shepherds worship; later wise kings give precious gifts. Mary and Joseph marvel, yet Herod's rage soon gives a call. A call to leave quickly to Egypt where they'll live as refugees. Sparing the Christ child a merciless death of those under three. When Herod finally dies, Jesus' parents head back to Israel. Still not fully safe from mad rule, Nazareth is their destiny. Here the child will grow to be a man, following His parents rule. Surprising the Pharisees with His wisdom at 12, at 30 riling them. Preaching with authority, healing the incurable, loving the humble. Women weep repenting at his feet; one's healed by touching his hem. Zacchaeus risks going into a tree and finds Jesus' salvation so free. Nicodemus comes at night to ask and ends amazed he's met God's Son The Woman at the Well gets far more vital water than the usual kind. And many healed can't but tell others of the miracle God has done. The babe in the manger now stills the storm and his disciples believe Even seeing the dead arise, like Lazarus in the tomb for four days. Foretelling a greater rising coming but not before immense suffering. The sword Mary was told would pierce her heart is soon on its way. For most religious leaders cannot tolerate Jesus' lack of respect for them. Calling them whitewashed tombs and pointing pride out to Pharisees. Not endearing Himself with the establishment, but following God's way. Knowing soon He'd be betrayed, arrested, tried and tortured brutally. Still, he calmly feeds them body bread and blood wine in a final feast. Tells them the Spirit comes, and prays they'd be one like Father and Son. Heads to the Garden, prays to His Father for another way if possible. Your will be done ends and the soldiers come and with Judas kiss it's done. The most pure, innocent Man who's ever lived is now in hostile hands. A trial by dark without witness or any rights – and off to Pontius Pilate. Then Herod then back to Pilate whose wife dreamed Jesus was innocent. But the people's cries to crucify win over – Jesus caught in intrigue's net. The child of Bethlehem now hung on a Cross between two criminals. The Light of the World by darkness and our sins is being slowly slain. Feeling forsaken by God, but then "Into Your hands I commit my spirit." Reunited and soon to show the world that this Child was no ordinary one. Risen as Jesus predicted, for how can death conquer everlasting, perfect life? From childhood to adult not one sin, not once yielding to Satan's temptations. Proving we can have life eternal if we confess and believe in Jesus as our Savior. Calling His followers in risen form to await the Spirit and share Christ to the nations
