The Day I Met Jesus Christ in the Flesh
by Matthew Payne
This is not a rhyming poem I hope you forgive me for that
It was late in the night
Me and Jesus were chatting
I was at the beach
He was in heaven
And we were talking and
He was sharing deep and
meaningful things with me
He as encouraging me
Inspiring me
Teaching me
Moving me and
I sat transfixed on the beach
In wonder at
2am in the morning
in the cool of winter
in love with my savior
It's the day I got so romantic
I was in love with Jesus
A man that died for me
And man that bled for me
And who spent night up
Chatting to me alone
Quite
On a beach
Chatting into the wind
And together we chatted
And I fell in love
Ever so in love with Him
Oh the sweet things he was saying
And the quite of the night
It seemed the world had swam away
And the only two people were us
And I had his full attention
Just me and did I mention
Jesus, my beloved.
I was walking back to the main beach
When I stopped suddenly overwhelmed
With my love and adoration
And I asked
Where are you now
And He said
Just beyond the breakers
And I stepped toward the ocean
And suddenly the water receded
200 meters and wondering
what was going on I asked
and Jesus said I will meet you soon
just not tonight and I sighed and said
you said you were coming soon
in Johns Revelation
that was 2000 years ago
I can't wait that long
And Jesus said really really soon
And I will meet you I asked
And you will me he said
About four months later
In the city of Sydney
It was 12 pm at night
When the homeless man
asked me for some change
I still being a judgmental Christian
Asked him if he wanted a meal
And he said yes
And so I went and lined for a meal
I got him a quarter pounder meal
And when I returned he exclaimed
Where's the coffee and
I smiled and said a quarter pounder meal
Then I gave up
How do you like your coffee?
Two sugars and milk he smiled
And it was just like how I take my coffee
And I smiled and returned to wait in line.
I watched him eat his meal
Saw him drink his coffee
We moved out of the cool of the
Winters night
I asked him could I be excused to go
to the toilet and he said yes
And on the way down the stairs
I asked Jesus how long I had to be with this man
a song played on the radio that said
It's over when it's over
So I washed my face
And went and did my business
And prepared myself
For a sleepless night and returned to my
homeless guest
in McDonalds
And he said
It's funny isn't it?
And I said what?
It's funny when you ask Jesus
A question and he answers with a song on the radio
My eyes bulged in shock and then he said
Can I share with you
Some reflections I have
on what Jesus taught in the Gospels?
I said sure
As I was studying the gospels myself
And then he began
He spoke with a clear voice
He spoke with authority
And the discourse
was so profound and so rich
That within one minute I knew
If I continued to listen I would lose all he said
I looked at him as he spoke
Considering whether I would tell him to be quite
And try and remember
two sentences of this profound
discourse
and I'll never forget his face
it was full of joy
and the subject was so dear to him
how could I stop him talking
in one minute he had surpassed all my knowledge
and for ten minutes he continued
while I felt like Paul
and heard something to rich for words
and still today
I cannot recall one sentence
That was spoken
Yet I no without a doubt
No mortal speaking on earth
Has ever done that to me
And especially not on a subject
I thought I knew so well.
He did three miracles that night
He spoke those words that confounded
He collected thirty dollars from strangers
And he disappeared in a twinkling of an eye from view
I have laughed with him
About my low self esteem
For the time I met Jesus in the flesh
He had to take all his glory away
And come and dress down
As a humble homeless man
And he has confirmed to me it was him
And I still remember his form
And the way his mouth played around
The words as they took shape
He loved that discourse on the gospels
And he told me that ten minutes
Would take me ten years to get to the bottom
Even if I had it printed
Oh yes people I met Jesus
And he is a man of miracles
For whatever you do unto the
Very least of my brethren
You do unto me he said
