Composing Good Poems About Christ

By Amanda Baird


Writing good poems about Christ entails writing poems which are spiritual in nature and which reflects the life of Christ. The poems should also be inspirational and encourage people to come to Christ Jehovah. Writing about the life of Jesus in a poetic way entails looking at how he lived and the teachings he taught his disciples.

In this parable, a younger son had demanded his share of wealth from his father. The father was a wealthy man who had two sons. The father divided for him his wealth and remained with those that belong to the older son. The younger one sold all the things he was given and then took off to go to a different town. He spent the money with his friends until he remained with nothing.

He started suffering in the town where he had gone to as his friends could not help him. He then decided to go back to his home and ask for forgiveness. The father forgave him and welcomed him back home. This parable of the lost son may be composed in a form of a poem.

All this while, the elder son was leaving with his father and helping him. When the younger son came back, the farther welcomed him and even celebrated his coming back. Therefore, a poetic writer can use this parable to write a poem which shows an instance where somebody had wrong, then irrespective of the wrong doing; he is forgiven at the end. A poem of this kind encourages people to forgive one another and not to hold any grudge.

The other parable of the teaching of Jesus one can use to write a good poem is the parable of the two debtors. In this parable, Jesus told this parable when a woman who was considered to be sinful was forgiven her sins by Jesus. He then washed the feet of Jesus and wiped it using his hairs.

He then anointed it using a very expensive perfume. Jesus then told the parable inform of a question. He asked them supposed a lender had two debtors. One owed him five hundred Denarii while the other owed him fifty Denarii.

When it was evident that the two debtors could not pay their debt, the lender for gave them of the debts. Jesus then asked the disciples, who would be more grateful. The disciples answered that the one who was owed more debt. Jesus then told them that that was the reason why the woman was more grateful than the disciples because he had committed a lot of sins that them but Jesus forgave her of her sins. This parable can also be used to compose a poem to demonstrate the teachings of Jesus.

The other gospel which would be significant is the sermon on the mountain. In this gospel, for instant, he taught that those who are meek are blessed because they will inherit the earth. This therefore encourages people to be meek. He also encouraged people to be righteous in all they are doing if they want to own kingdom of heaven. The same gospel also encourages people to always ensure that peace prevails.This sermon on the mountain is a poem on its own. Poets may therefore use it as well to create other poems about Christ. These teachings and parables therefore are of great importance and significant in poetry.
