Notes About The Poem

Take Him Out Of The Box

THIS IS A CONTROVERSEY THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES. THUS, SPEAKING IN POETICAL FORM FROM A CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE.....

 
Consider... 

The Ever Present, Unequal, Imperishable Power of…

The One and Only...True God!

Who left His Throne, His Eternal Home and walked

earth's sod~

We are His and He is ours! whereby…

now and forever- love Him do we

knowing that it is only…through Him

our promised never-ending rest we will see~

He is the maker of ‘all’ in sea, sky and earth…

indeed, of every living thing

yet, that we might be saved, He put on flesh

to bestow a pardon which only…He…could bring~

From the Garden of Eden...

He, from which nothing is hid, knew

no one else could eradicate sin

only He Alone would do~

Hallelujah, yes! The King of Kings!

became...Jesus...the Lamb!

For the 'purity' of ‘the sacrifice’ was duly required

that throughout time - it would stand! ~

Only God was completely 'unblemished'... without sin

only He was worthy, verily...

only He was able to save us

Only He- loved us, so entirely! ~

Therefore, to say that He wouldn't do this

limits His Omnipotence...His rule!

for, no one but…He…could have done it...

as, He Alone Is God...through and through! ~

But for those...who find this hard to accept

for those who have hesitated, denied and mocked...

who cannot understand the Trinity, I say...

Take Him out of The Box! ~

For, The Box- contains and restrains Him

the Box, makes many feel that He is of mortal vein

and that…He thinks…the way we think

the Box ignores His Strength, His Oneness, His Unconquered Reign! ~

Loose those finite chains that inhibit!

use the ‘key of faith' and ‘open the lock’!

allow the 'God of Impossibilities' to…flood your being…

Take Him Out of The Box!~

He Is much more...Oh, so much more Deeper…

then we mere lumps-of-clay could ever begin to imagine!

discard that cape of skepticism...

let His Spirit direct you...from within~

Seek His ultimate truth- in His Word…

that a virgin brought Him forth is not a fabled concoct

know- that The God we serve ‘did’ fulfill His prophecies...

Take Him out of The Box!~

Enter the Magnificence of the Triune's Presence!

two or three gods? preposterous! but in fact, idolatrous!

however, 'ONE' GOD who can do ANYTHING??!!! Yes!!!

and He did It...for you and me...us!!! ~

Take Him out of that man-made container!

for He is… ‘infinitely larger’ then our envisioned gestation!

‘far greater’ than what we could 'ever' conceive, we embrace…

His Eternal Vastness via... Unconditional Love’s intoxication ~

You and I... we are the ones

that…wouldn't...couldn't...and have a ‘human’ limit

but not Our Almighty God, not ever...'He'!

for, HE IS…Alpha! Omega! Our One Supreme, Uncontainable, Summit! ~

 Take - Him - Out - Of - The...Box!!!

Fantastic and fave write, dear Joyce! I think of my mom’s ashes in a small purple urn…crazy. God cannot be contained in our human box. He walks on water, heals our diseases and sin, rose from the dead. Those that ask for “another sign,” will not see the miracle around them. Yes, He can save us! He did! Glory to God!
