A cruel punishment.
I'd capitalise 'birthday' and maybe tweak 'cruel punishment.' Who is being punished? Jesus or us? Maybe alter slightly to add depth of understanding. 'Joke to a dead man'? Or something else... It's getting a bit late for thinking properly.

Maybe you wanted that line to be ambiguous. Whichever the case, I liked it. Your poem has an underlying resentment that's quite endearing.
