Jewel of Jesus

How do I proclaim the Jewel of Jesus; I’m just a fool. The words delight and disappear. How does one praise the holy one? He’s too much for words. I’m not worthy to lift him up in song; I sing along with those duly gifted. The wonder of lyrics with such treasures: Here I raise my Ebenezer; Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre, and as they tune it, fall; I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away… How do I proclaim the Jewel of Jesus; I’m just a fool, a fool who leans on scripture and gleams truths. My biblical articulation is mute; how do you describe eternity, infinity, true love? In simplicity, perhaps. He was put to death by sinners, buried and three days later breathed forevermore; we’ve been invited - we choose our afterlife. Do you really want to obtain the most precious jewel ever offered? You can only embrace, you can’t give Him away. Ruby-red, sapphire-bruised, pale-opal… Fiery-garnet eyes, many crowns on his head… I’m just a fool to try, but I must try to put Jesus in a human box - can we even describe how breathless we will be when we see divinity?

Thank you so much! Because I am in awe of God, it is not easy to write. I try many times, but they sound like rambling.

Jesus is beyond my human conception, but how I see him in my minds eye is a blinding bright light surrounded by the sound of angelic voices singing and a sense of eternal calmness that slowly envelops me. Love your poem Kim. HAPPY EASTER MY FRIEND TO YOU AND YOUR LOVELY FAMILY

Jesus is quite the anomaly, cornered the market on love and mercy, no other mortal compares. Your words describe with conviction no need for anything else but your true faith for Jesus! Great questions for the non-believers and a Great entry ~
