The Life and Death Of the One They Call Jesus Christ

This is a poem about my savior Jesus Christ.

He walked through dirty streets.
Dirt from all the places he had been coated his sandals and feet.

His clothes were old and worn and like a beggar he had not a penny to his name.
He had a face like all the rest, but he was different in a way that just can't be explained.

He walked alongside the lowly and spent almost all his time in the presence of sinners.
Those that followed him were persecuted and called blasphemers.

Everywhere he went people flocked to him.
And when he spoke he spoke with power; everyone listened.

He spoke of God and said he was his son.
But people didn't listen and he was shunned.

He performed many miracles.
But still people were cynical.

He made blind men see.
And he set lost souls free.

He made the lame walk.
And he told the dumb to talk.

He fed five thousand with nothing but two fish and five loaves of bread.
And he even did the seemingly impossible task of raising the dead.

But even after witnessing all these miracles; some still didn't believe.
Their foolish hearts were still naive.

The pharisees became scared of him and decided he had to die.
But to be able to find him they needed someone on the inside.

It was Judas Iscariot who would offer to betray Jesus.
For this service they gave him thirty silver pieces.

Judas led them up to Gethsemane where Jesus was praying.
He betrayed his Lord with a kiss, and Jesus went with them without complaining.

The men brought him before Caiaphas the high priest.
Caiaphas questioned him, but with his answers the people's anger towards him only increased.

Caiaphas decided Pilate could decide what to do with him.
And when Pilate asked the people what they wanted they said,"Crucify him!"

Pilate sentenced him to die upon the cross.
For that is what saving everyone's soul would cost.

After he died he was laid in the tomb.
Just 33 years after he had come out of his mother's womb.

But death was not the end for him.
After just three days our savior rose again.

He came to this earth to die on the cross and save you and me.
And one day very soon he will return to eventually see all men before him on bended knee.
