Poems that might be considered religious or Christian in nature
A sudden insight!
The reality of a deity,
Is revealed those wise,
Who bearing gifts for a King,
Now receive God’s offering!

An Epiphany!
The Wise Men journeyed afar,
Following a star.
Gentiles seeking a Child King,
Treasured gifts for Him do bring.

Christmas Eve!
Do good things come in small packages?
A babe wrapped in love!

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths,
and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NKJV
Amazing
Love! Mine to receive
Eternally!
Come to earth
As a babe born in a manger.
Jesus Christ, God’s Son!

Gifts!
Christmas,
Coming soon!
Wrapping presents
For my dear family.
This makes me pause to ponder
Upon the first Christmas gift,
Who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
God’s ultimate present to mankind
Is still available to be received.

A candle of hope.
Our faith keeps it burning bright
To dispel darkness.
Illuminate our life path.
Ignite goals and future dreams.

Free gift.
Given from God.
Is indescribable!
The grace of God bestowed to us.
Freedom!

Before I met Christ
My selfie showed just a wretch
Lost in the darkness
Unaware of an eclipsed soul
Held captive by sin and death

Challenge words: selfie-eclipse-wretch
Taking elements
In remembrance of His death.
The bread and the wine
Represent Jesus’ sacrifice.
His body and blood for us.
