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.
