I grew up a normal life
My father was a carpenter, my mother was a wife
I had a calling that no one would expect
To help the sinners when their life was a wreck
Also known as the Savior of the World
To help lost souls before God's anger was unfurled
I grew up a child, but my life was not defiled
I was perfect, because you were worth it
Trust me my child, it was never easy
I got tempted to sin, by both devil and man.
With God's help, I held on
I kept to my convictions, and I was strong
My first miracle was turning water into wine
Later I cast a demon upon a swine
I raised men up from the dead
I trained others to praise God when their own blood was shed
I was a fisherman, fishing men for their hearts
All they need to do was believe, and I would not depart
I befriended women, helped them in their trials
I loved Peter even through his denials
I cried with Mary through all her tears
I sympathized as she lost someone very dear
I called out Lazarus out from the grave
But I'm the only one death really can't enslave
I gave good gifts to those who ask
Compared to worshiping false idols I'm a great contrast
Love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control
They're all free for you to have, I payed the toll
I covered your sins up upon the cross
While you were mocking me I prayed a sin of exhaust
"To forgive them in their sins because they know not what they are doing!
They have no idea, who's blood they are spewing!
Please God speak out to their lost life!
I wish not to see them experience hell's knife
Though they taunt and whip and beat and curse
They are mine! I loved them first!"
I was on earth for one purpose solely
To be the Son of Man, begotten and only

Jesus walked the earth, Jesus was a man and had a father and a mother and he felt pain, and he saw injustice and impurity and fought to keep his sanctity intact in the wicked world that mankind had built.
What a wonderful poem, thank you so much for sharing this with us.

the final couplet is so perfect and fitting.
i love the perspective it's written from, the subtle reminders that Jesus is a man and... so much more than a man.
you've worked in some great metaphors and everywhere it rhymes feels so natural.
thank you for sharing this! -

Thank you for taking the time to enter my contest Jesus is the ultimate pastor, is he not?
-
thank you for the entry.
-
It's clever how you spoke as Jesus in the first person. This poem is a work of art.
Jesus was a great example of being a forgiving person.
We all have a lot to learn about being non-judging. I know I certainly do.
God bless, my friend -
This is very nicely written. You did an excellent job writing this. Keep up your great work! Best of luck, thank you for your entry.
Twiztidmaggot -

Well done

Outstanding
Well written, well thought out and summed up beautifully. I don't believe I have ever seen the life of Jesus summed up so quickly yet concisely.
-
Still over!!!
It's a good write I must say. Thanks for entering and of course good luck in my contest. -
Wow. This an amazing piece.
Great job!
-
I love it!
I love the Rythem and Rhyme of it, also the imagery. I am a catholic and I find this very moving and beautiful.
-
This is beautiful, Jenny. You know Jesus very well, my dear, and I'm glad to see it in your words. They are precious as you are. Love, Patricia
-
im catholic so for me this was really good....i guess you could say long story short...
-
hmmm
Well Mis Jenny I have to say that I am impressed and even moved by what you have created here. This poem says a lot about you as well you know, and I sure that when Heaven read it even God had a smile on his face.
Loved it.
-
O, and my dads a carpenter too! lol
-
awweeesomeness....in my opinion. story well told, with good flow, and kinda speaks for itself
-
yes i've read your poetry deary. nicely written. very moving.
-
The rhyming is beautiful :] even though i'm not christian, you did a great job at it.
-
speechless
that poem just gave a summary of the bible. what Jesus lived for, for us! nothing but right and good spirtual things. and that's why we can do nothing but the best to me God face to face. that right there would be the greatest moments ever!
-
Pretty good. It's interesting
-
A great finish to a great beginning...I loved it all and I am sure it brought much glory to God!!!! Amazing!!!!!
-
Very inclusive, down-to-earth account of the life of Jesus, His purpose, and His love for us! I like the rhyming line pairs, and would like to see that be consistent for the entire poem.
-
well done
You have penned a very nice summary of Jesus life. The most remarkable thing is he appeared to be quite ordinary. No one would pick him out as anything special. Great job. God bless you and keep this day dear one, Mark
-
Wow. This is absolutely beautiful! I love how you didn't just say something like: 'God is great, God is good, and we thank him for our food', you actually made it into a poem that flowed, and was a little bit abstract, even, and I think it's awesome how you have the guts to be Christian, and actually put something up here like really smack-down Christian!!! The only thing I would suggest is that the grammar is a tad awkward, and you might want to work on that...God is Good! Keep up the great work!
-
I am amazed at these brilliant writes of yours. You certainly have a great talent for putting across what you feel and see. Your beliefs and loves are shown clearly in every word and you allow us to travel with you. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces with us. keep up the great work. you are a marvel!
-
You are a wonderful witness for Christ. Here's one line that jumped out as one that really spoke to me, "...I called out Lazarus out from the grave
But I'm the only one death really can't enslave."
That says it right there.
Paul -
Good writing, food for thought. Jesus was the unblemished lamb that the Father selected to be the sacrifice for the sins of the world (our sins) .
Keep writting!
Dennis
-
I'm glad you're able to express yourself in this way. You are very talented and strong. Thanks for sharing.
-
Wow I love this!
-
The grammar needs a bit of work but the message is clear and the first person perspective of the narrator works well. Peace, Dannie
-
Bravo. It's beautiful
-
This is a great start even if your head wasn't clear.
I especially like, "I was perfect, because you're worth it..." Because - we ARE worth it!
-
This is very lovely my dear sweet friend!!! I love the way that this is written!!! Your Faith in Jesus is so real and so clear. Your details and descriptions are truly amazing!!!!! Your flow is truly perfect. I love this piece and can't wait to read the rest. I love you!!!!!!!!!!

A Beautiful beginning to the life and purpose of Christ...Your faith will sustain you through this life and also bring a perfect ending to the lovely start of this poem!!!!!God Bless you!!!!
-
