Christ Our Savior

Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born
in a stable in Bethlehem.
A shining star led three wise men to
a babe lying in a manger
where angels trumpeted His birth.
And shepherds tending their flocks
were drawn to that same stable
by that same spectacular star.
And leaving their flocks in the fields,
they too, went to see this miraculous sight.
But, Christ was
born to save sinner's souls;
Jesus knew His destiny was
to suffer for Man's sins and die.
Peaching to the Jewish people,
He taught them how to pray
and love one another in peace.
But the Romans, along with the Pharisees,
crucified Him for this.
His Mother cried at his feet,
helpless to prevent His death.
And yet, as He died,
He called out to God, "forgive them,
for they know not what they do."
His body was placed in a tomb,
inline with Jewish practice.
And soldiers sealed it with a large stone,
placing guards to ensure it stayed shut.
But on the third day, it rolled away,
and Christ rose from the dead;
His Divinity confirmed,
as the Son of God
and the Savior of Mankind.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian July 12, 2022 at 7:43 PM You did an excellent job, angels did trumpet Christ birth, Shepards where tending flock ( so tells us birth not in Dec.)But my dear poet.friend.. Wise men, NEVER saw Christ as a newborn in manger. Christ was almost TWO years old a young CHILD living in a HOUSE. Read Matt.2:9-11 Doesn't say 3 men, 3 types gifts. Enjoy Great job other than this error Barbara Barry-Nishanian July 14, 2022 at 5:04 PM I hope you will read Matthew's account. I had never hear this taught, till friend told me to check it out. Know I had read but guess just didn't register. Hope we are still friends. Emile Pinet July 13, 2022 at 7:08 AM Thanks, Barbara, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Sam Kauffman April 6, 2022 at 12:20 PM "Divinity confirmed" indeed Emile. You have so succinctly and poetically told Jesus' story. Reminding us the end is just the beginning! Blessings and best wishes for the contest my friend. Emile Pinet April 6, 2022 at 1:56 PM Thanks, Sam, it's a story that bears repeating, my friend, Emile.
