Creating 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.

Jesus majorly taught using parables, there for one can decide to also write on the parables he taught. For instant, one may look at the parable of the prodigal son when writing about forgiveness as one of the teachings of Jesus. In this parable, Jesus gave a story of a man who had two sons.

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.

Different parables may be used to compose different poems teaching on the same thing. For instance, the other parable on forgiveness is the parable of the two debtors. It is necessary to establish the background under which the parable was used in order to fully understand the reason and applicability.

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.

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.

Two people owned different amount of money to one lender. The first person owned much money as compared to the second person. The lender then decided to overwrite the debts for both of them. Jesus then asked them among the debtors who was more grateful. The disciples answered that the one who owed much debt would be more grateful than the other. Jesus then related the parable to the circumstance. The prostitute was more grateful than the other disciple that is why she behaved that way.

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.
