When Did Jesus Know
Sometimes I Wonder
He laid there in a manger’s feed
When birthed on Christmas morn
That day that heaven all agreed
Man’s flesh He would adorn
So when He woke that second day
Did He know He was God
That Something special’s come our way
That angels would applaud
When was it that He understood
His purpose on this earth
That He would live as humans would
But through a virgin birth
Did He know some would turn away
Back when His life began
That most of them would go astray
Reject salvation’s plan
His powers proved undoubtably
He was in fact, divine
They watched Him walk atop the sea
Turn water into wine
Did He know He would heal the blind
Raise others from the dead
Or be the hope for all mankind
The reason demons fled
Was He aware He wouldn’t mesh
And trouble would be rife
That claiming to be “God in flesh”
Would cost His human life
There’s always someone who betrays
Like Judas planned to do
When we live Christ in hidden ways
Then we’re a “Judas” too
When Jesus was a newborn boy
Did He already know
He’d circumvent the devil’s ploy
And pay the debt WE owe
It’s clear He wouldn’t compromise
“Redeem mankind, amen”
And when did He first recognize
He’ll come for us again

❤ it!!!!
I don't know much about Jesus but I've always thought about it as well. Loved your poem!
I am sure Jesus Knew from a very young age, he was different. I think , it started when he visit the temple and he knew more than the high priest in the temple. Love your poem 💗
