Writing Good Poems About Christ

By Amanda Baird


Composing good poems about Christ involves looking at the life of the Christ and his teachings. The poems should reflect on the parables which he taught as well as the gospels which he preached. For instance, the writer should be able to conceptualize the parable then to compose a poem with the teachings of the parable.

In order to demonstrate how this may be made possible, it is necessary to look at some of the parables, then analyze how a good poem may be derived from the parable. When Jesus wanted to teach on forgiveness, he used the parable of the prodigal son and the parable of the two debtors. In the parable of the prodigal son, a man had two sons.

The man had a lot of wealth and workers. The younger son demanded that his father to give him the share of his wealth so that he may use. The father proceeded and gave him share of the wealth. He spent it lavishly until all the wealth got finished.

His father forgave him and welcomed him back home as his son even though he had disobeyed the father. This shows that people should always forgive others even if they have wronged you. A poet in writing a poem on about Christ may consider using the parable too to communicate their message. One may not necessarily use the prodigal son, but may use a story to depict forgiveness.

Jesus also taught on forgiveness using the parable of the two debtors. Jesus told this story while they were having dinner with his disciples, then a woman who was known as a prostitute joined them on the dinner even though he was not invited. He cleaned the feet of Jesus, anointed the same feet with an expensive oil the kissed it. The disciples felt bad that Jesus was associating with sinners.

In this parable, Jesus told a story of a lender who had loaned two people some money. One of them was loaned a big amount of money, while the other one was loaned a small amount of money. The lender then forgave all of them when they were defeated to pay back the loan.

Jesus then posed a question to the disciple to tell the person who was more grateful among the two debtors. One of the disciples then answered that the debtor who had more debt. He then related the parable to the situation which was at hand. He told the disciples that since the woman had committed more sins; he was more grateful when he was forgiven.

That is the reason why he kissed the feet of Jesus and went ahead to anoint it. This parable also may be used to compose a poem. The other teaching of Jesus which may be used in composing good poems about Christ is the sermon on the mountain.
