Who is Jesus? - Poem

It is essential that we know who Jesus really is. When we understand His identity as the Son of God who took on human flesh, we will better appreciate the significance of His sacrifice on the cross for us. We are reconciled to the Father by grace, not by our good works. Jesus took on the punishment for our sins that we deserve, and made a way through His blood for us to be in right standing with the Father. We can now boldly approach God and draw near to Him with the confidence that we are loved and accepted through His Son

Jesus.

Is He a good moral teacher?

Famous preacher?

Is He only a prophet?

This lie, some have bought it

What about the resurrection?

We need to know who He really is

To avoid all deception

Here is some apologetics

But I definitely don’t regret this

Jesus is more than a man

He is the Great I Am

He came down from on high

To execute the Father’s plan

In the town of Bethlehem

Born of a virgin

Conceived by the Holy Spirit

He is the Word of God

Yes, the whole world will hear it!

He is full of grace and truth

The miracles He did are the proof

That He was sent by the Father

It is by grace that we have been saved

Not by our good works

The road to salvation was paved

By His blood that broke the curse

The New Covenant of grace

Is more glorious than the first

Built on better promises

He gave His life on the cross for this:

To free us from our sins

To reconcile us to the Father

So we could live as sons and daughters

To save us from the coming wrath

When we believe, we are forgiven

He did the math!

He was oppressed and afflicted

Familiar with pain

It was God’s will to crush Him

For all our sin and shame

For our sake He suffered

Betrayed at the Last Supper

He cried in the garden of Gethsemane

“Father, take this cup from Me!”

He had to face the reality

That it was time for Calvary

The Jews mocked and spit on Him

But He made no reply

When they questioned Him

“King of the Jews!”, they said

“Crucify Him!”

We want Him dead!

They nailed Him to that cursed tree

For hours He cried in agony

As the crowd accused Him of blasphemy

Darkness covered the land with gloom

He cried, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”

The curtain of the temple was split in two

At this, old things were exchanged for new!

They buried Him in Joseph’s tomb

But that old grave didn’t have room!

On the third day, He resurrected

What was broken is now connected

This sounds foolish to those who are perishing

But for us who believe

it is the wisdom of God

That we should be cherishing

That’s the gospel

Wrapped in rhythms and rhymes

Please give your life for it

For it has more power than what we realize

So make it your aim to know Him

For He is the Prize

Jesus.
