The Pre-Existence and Divinity of Christ: An Ontological Perspective #1686

The Pre-Existence and Divinity of Christ: An Ontological Perspective Before the dawn of time's embrace, Ere stars adorned the night’s vast space, The will of God had made its place, In realms beyond what eyes can trace. Before Abraham drew his breath, Before the prophets spoke of death, The Word existed, life’s own breadth, In timeless truth, beyond the flesh. "I Am," He spoke, eternal flame, A name that sets all hearts aflame, Divine, unbound by earthly frame, Before all worlds, His claim the same. Misunderstood, they raised the stone, Blind to the truth their hearts had known, The One who stood was not alone, In Him, the Father’s light had shone. From Moses' bush to temple’s court, The echo of His voice retort, "I Am," the source of all rapport, In Him, all ages find support. Eternal Christ, the Living Word, In whom the voice of God is heard, Through time and space His truth conferred, Before all else, His love preferred. Ontologically profound, In Christ, the depths of God are found, Eternal life in Him is crowned, Before Abraham, His grace unbound. -Steven G. Lee (June 7, 2024)
