Challenge Entry: Poem: TOM: A Christmas-ish poem

Here is the first entry written by Tom. He wrote a poem about Christmas and the story behind the Birth of Christ. It was less than 500 words but poetry is hard. O.O Don't judge him

Christianity, It's not just a sect, It begins long ago, Before the manger, Before God's creativity, So not where you'd expect, Preceding the light show, Before the foundations, Before one rock, Before one tree, The was a decision, A plan was hatched, The cross wasn't a shock, The plan to set men free, To bring salvation, God was never detached, Christ decided to die for thee, The one who spoke, Let there be light, Did not create it, The light, it just shined, By His word He did envoke, There was day and night, Each piece He did fit, This in His word we do find, Perfectly made, Without imperfection, There was no struggle, No confusion dwelt there, One tree He forbade, One stipulation, So they wouldn't be muddled, He made them aware, Death was the penalty, Punishment warned, Obedience necessary, According to God's word, The garden serenity, About to be torn, Introduces misery, When warning is ignored, Tempted by sin, To doubt God's goodness, Began to question, Ignore God's right decree, Pride Eve fell in, Lured by selfishness, Forsaking God's blessing, When she ate from the tree. One act of disobedience, One act of rebellion, One act of doubt, Caused death to man, Man's self reliance, The sin man fell in, Turning from the fount, To shifting sand, God did not destroy, But promised a seed, Would crush the serpent, His people to redeem, With God to enjoy, It is what we need, When we repent, The outcome of that promise, Began in a lowly manger, Where the Christ was born, Beginning of God's salvation, That God Himself supplies, Appeasing God's anger, Came that Christmas morn, By God's own instigation, As a babe He did not remain, He grew in favor with God, As He did with man, Living sinlessly, To take on man's shame, Let us creatures now applaud, In His plan let us stand, Turn to Him supremely, Don't be a meme, In the news feed, Faking your way, Putting on a show, Sullying His name, The gospel to impede, In Christ not to stay, A poor example to know, Then Christ you do profane, Christ did not die, So you can live in your sin, He came as your sacrifice, So you would rest in Him, On Him you would rely, Trusting the death that sufficed, In the one who was condemned.
