The sonnet explores the purpose of life as knowing Jesus and making Him known. It begins with a longing to understand Christ deeply, portraying Him as a guiding light and source of love. It then describes a personal journey of walking with Him, finding peace and direction in His presence. The poem shifts to the outward mission of sharing His name, spreading His message like a flame to those in need. Finally, it concludes that true purpose lies in both knowing Christ intimately and giving that knowledge to others, presenting Him as the essence of life itself.

To know the Son of Man, my heart aspires,
A light that pierces through the darkest veil,
His love, a flame that kindles soul’s desires,
A truth no mortal shadow can assail.

To walk with Him through valleys deep and wide,
To hear His voice in whispers soft and still,
In every step, His grace becomes my guide,
His will my own, His peace my cup to fill.

Yet more than this, my tongue must bear His name,
To sing His praise where silent hearts reside,
To spread His word like sparks of holy flame,
A beacon bright where lost and weary bide.

So life unfolds in knowing and in giving,
For Christ, the way, the truth, the pulse of living.
