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.
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.
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.
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.
A sinful woman who was well known as a prostitute came in to the house and went direct to Christ. She cleaned his feet and then perfumed them with an expensive perfume. She then kissed the feet of Jesus. This was so strange to the disciples. Jesus then proceeded to tell the parable of the two debtors.
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.
