Excerpts The Messiah
|

| "Jesus was a glaring reminder that people were created in God's image, as Jesus was both by conception, from the work of the Holy Ghost— and by birth, from the delivery into the human race." |

After the centuries, many lives have been brought into the world; some as girls who later blossomed into women, and some as boys who matured into men. They have all come and gone, but none as controversial and paramount as the gentle Nazarene named Jesus. Not every faith believes in a messiah, and those that do don't always agree on who the Messiah is. While people adamantly proclaim and search for theirs, the world can have but one Messiah. We cannot refute the possibility that God could send to every faith it's own native-tongue savior. However, if we want to live with that scenario, we must understand that it would require yet another level of tolerance. That is, you would have to accept my Savior while worshipping yours, as they both originate from God. The time has come for me to dedicate a chapter to those who faithfully follow Jesus, as well as to those who still seek to follow him. I dedicate this chapter to all people who have taken upon themselves to carry a similar cross, and especially to those who try tirelessly to understand the meaning of Jesus' life. Remember, at all cost and regardless of the individual price, we must assemble one day. This might mean painfully putting aside even the God-given choice to attain the God-authored Truth. Jesus was not an icon of human religions, but a manifestation of the all-dimensional God. He was for us, but not by us. He was for us to seek out, learn from, follow along, and know personally. Jesus didn't live in a certain way, because people perceived him that way. He didn't perform certain tasks, because people expected that he would. While we can only understand him in human terms, our comprehension is required to take flight from ordinary life and language. They're human terms because we are incapable of any other terms. We need to grasp that which we cannot articulate, and comprehend that which we cannot formalize, if we endeavor to understand the Devine. Ordinary life and language are all that I, too, have to produce this dedication. Never mind the difficulty, in any case, for we should all explore new ways to extend our tools. We will discover that which is beyond the algebraic sums of all our parts, physically as well as mentally. We must defy the boundaries of traditional language and habitual thoughts, if we are to benefit from this challenging departure. God saw that the human race needed help in rediscovering themselves, their Creator and Parents— so God decided to lend assistance in a direct manner. Regardless of God's approach, They had to be consistent in principle and in the message They were to convey. .... |
