The Son of God Resides
Posted: Tuesday, January 17, 2012

He was born in a manger - on a cold December day
As he lay sleeping - in a bed made of hay
This child would be reared - by the people of the land
For his life by his father - had been planned
He would comfort the oppressed - and cure the ill
His deeds would often send to the spine - a cold chill
Sent to save souls - and to the heart refresh
I am the way, the truth and the life - he proclaimed
Through his father - “Jesus Christ” he was named
Crucified and died on the cross - for all of humanity
This day brought out the beginning - of Christianity
He reigns with his father - in heaven above
Together they bless the world - with an abundant of love
Love your neighbor as yourself - was his greatest command
To live by his rules would bring about - the holy land
The son of God walked about us - as an ordinary man
Through him all of life’s history - as we know it began

Jesus preached in the great temple, and only rich sons and strictly most wealthy others were allowed that extreme luxury, so it's a given that he wasn't likely ever born in a lowly manger.
In addition, NOBODY knows when Christ(Greek, 'Christos', for "chosen one") was born; founding Church fathers usurped December 25th from the Druids who celebrated an agricultural Holy-day on December 25th.
But, His message, one of loving one's enemies, was most splendid and is categorically IGNORED and disregarded by those who dare to call themselves " the faithful' or 'believers'.
He was a Jew, first and foremost, something else virtually ignored by those who call themselves, "Christians".
Celebrating his crucifixion and agony has allowed hatred and murder of Jews, for millennia; as Gandhi said,"I very much like your Christ, but do not at all like your Christians".Please log in to respond to this comment.I believe Jesus was the son of God, I don't live by the bible but I do believe in Jesus as the way to God the father.Thanks for commenting PaulPlease log in to respond to this comment.
