AN INFINITE GIFT

In this poem I try to expound on the importance of why Jesus Christ had to be born in this world, why did He live the way He lived and reasons why did He had to suffer the way he suffered and die an ignominious death. Read on.

Isaiah 9:6, 7:- “For to us a child is born, to us a child is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His Kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time and forever. The zeal of the lord almighty will accomplish this.”

AN INFINITE GIFT

An infinite gift far beyond human imagination

Is this mysterious gift: the eternal incarnation

Also so mysterious is the idea of eternity

And the idea of Jesus taking our infirmity

For Jesus to die for all our transgressions

This is the most mysterious of divine lessons

How long is the mysterious length of eternity?

What is the count-ability of years of infinity?

The sum of our sins is also much of infinity

Abominations have degraded the face of humanity

Transgression of God’s law is like our daily life

Sinfulness of every nature is very rife

Yet Jesus in our infirmity; his life was holy

He obeyed God’s law and precepts wholly

By his death Jesus overcame the power of grave

By his death Jesus portrayed his infinite love

And gave us an infinite life of eternity

Thus we may live blissfully in perpetuity

Yet we must all partake the heavy Jesus’ cross

Due to christlikeness we can suffer terrible loss

To sacrifice your livelihood of the earthly bliss

The comforts of humanity you can really miss

In order to attain an infinite gift of eternal life

But you should just have to ask

And in itself is just a simple task

What did Jesus forfeit for my heavenly sake?

What manner of life did Jesus Christ forsake?

That through his undertaking of human infirmity

Our character may be transformed into divinity

Jesus suffered just like every other person

Jesus was persecuted for no apparent reason

Jesus was greatly ridiculed wherever he went

Jesus, like any human being, he also wept

Jesus was betrayed by his close associate

Yet all his earthly life was divinely immaculate

All human suffering; Jesus suffered the maximum

And his human association was the very minimum

But how did Jesus overcome all this?

How did he subdue every crisis?

John 5:39 “You diligently study the scriptures because you think that by them you posses eternal life, these are the scriptures that testify about me”.

2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”.

Jesus often said, “It is written, man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”. Matthew 4:4

The conditions of obtaining life’s infinite gift

Through humble petitions your spirit you must uplift

The infinite gift should be sought with all your heart

Effort is true effort only when it begins to hurt

An infinite gift of life is a gift of great diligence

Its pursuit should be life’s every moment experience

Its pursuit should be just exceedingly prayerful

And to every God’s precept; be very faithful

Persevere in every persecution

Fear not any humiliation

Fear not if you be lonely

But counter all evil prayerfully

In full faith say, “in God I wholly trust

Even when conditions are their worst

I fear not even the physical death.

For in Jesus I do rest my faith”.

Oh! An infinite gift, a gift of gifts

A gift of eternal love

A gift of eternal bliss

A gift of perpetual peace

A gift of limitless divinity

An infinite gift is the gift of divine promise

A gift of eternal life in an eternal paradise

A gift of all best gifts

A gift of glory of eternity

A gift of boundless love

A gift of boundless might

A gift of Jehovah himself

Oh! How long are the blissful years of eternity?

What is the true measure of God’s divinity?

The answer is: THE INFINITE GIFT of Jesus Christ.
