Is Jesus In a Box
Is Jesus in a Box
Mr Elephant walked to his wife, an elephant called Ellie
“You have a good memory” said Mr Elephant
“Do you think that you can help me”?
Ellie waved her trunk and asked, “What is it husband of mine,
If I can help, you know I will”
"It’s this darn question here, I don’t know the answer still”.
“Is Jesus in a box? What kind of question is that?
“I was taught he went to his father in heaven, he died for people, and that’s that”.
Ellie said “I remember from my elephant relatives, they passed it down trunk to trunk
But people have a habit these days, of making it all sound junk.”
“Jesus I believe to earth he was sent, by his heavenly God and father
Because the serpent had persuaded Eve to take her free will a little bit further.
To take a bite of the fruit of the tree, of the knowledge of good and bad
Eve then offered some for Adam to bite, so he was just as sad.”
.
“The knowledge they gained turned them both from God
They thought that they now knew better.”
So from the Garden of Eden he cast them out,
And put it in a bible letter.
Adam and Eve went from bad to worse their sons were awful to each other
And from them both their children learned, some even to hate their brother.
God was now not happy with his grandiose plan,
he asked his son if his life would give, to save this earthling man.
Jesus looked at his father; he had the best one that he knew
“Of course my god and father, I will do this thing for you”
As a reward his father said “When you have completed this terrible thing
I will bring you back to heaven and make you a heavenly King.”
Mr Elephant looked at his wife, her trunks as beautiful as golden locks
“Of course dear Ellie I knew you would know, Jesus can’t be in a box.”
