WHY I CELEBRATE AT EASTER. HE DID IT. HE MADE A DIFFERENCE
EVERY EASTER THIS COMES TO MIND
About 7 BCE a boy child was born to a 15 year old girl who lived on the outer edge of a medium galaxy in a sun system of medium size and age. The boy child was conceived in the miraculous way that all children are conceived. The planet had previously been selected as an experimental planet, and in this case, the experiment was to seek the limits of divine mercy and justice. The parents had been told that this boy would grow to be a dispensation of mercy and justice.
This was the first time the boy was born from the womb of a woman. It was not the first time he was a dispenser of truth in physical reality. The entire cosmos was observing this unique thing as creators of universes so seldom incarnate. No one knew what would happen.
Eighteen hundred years before the birth, a priest came to the planet and among other things taught the boy’s ancestor Abram certain true things about the relationship between God and man and made certain covenants with him. Abram lived in Ur and was eventually instructed to move with his family to a tiny region on the east Middle Sea area.
There were men wise from Ur who had not in the intervening time turned away much from the true way. They inquired of the current king where they might find this amazing child only to inadvertently notify the king where to find the child he too now searched for. In the latter case to kill. The parents moved to Alexandria where they stayed until the this king was buried. Now, his parents and he could return home. He grew up and had six brothers and sisters.
At the same time his cousin who was from a prominent religious family bore a child who was to preceed him and act as a grown man to validate his cousin. They met only a few times in their life. One day the latter man began to baptize people with water to prepare them to meet the person who was to come. He was adored from the start by the masses because of his simplicity and earnestness and his straightforward speech. In the space of only a few months had introduced by baptism more than 200,000 ordinary persons to his promise that a great soul was coming. Nature began to hum.
In about 27 CE the first man came to the baptizer and submitted himself to baptism by water. At this event several score people saw the heavens open up and heard the voice that came from God say, “This is my son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased.”
He began assemble twelve men, six chosen by him and six by the chosen six. He spent most of his time teaching the twelve how to behave towards ordinary people so that they could see and realize that God was inside them and that God was actually connected to and part of their anatomy and physiology. This part is to be nurtured and revered. He told them he was teaching this for them because he would not always be there. There was no need of rituals, ablations, absolutions, diets, rest periods, ceremonies, beads, money gifts and the like. This inside personal thing was the only access point that he introduced. He also personally taught twelve women to do this just like the male twelve. The only rule was to love God and to love your fellow human as you love yourself. He never taught that he was in any way different from anyone else. Your yoke is for you, my yoke is for me.
In three years it was time for him to leave so he exposed himself during an amazing week to the Sanhedrin who seized him, tried him, and and schemed to have him killed by crucifixion, the Roman way to execute criminals.
He died on a Friday, brought himself back to life on an early Sunday morning and in the next forty days was seen and spoken to by eight hundred people. He sometimes ate with them, encouraged them, and traveled with them. He had some touch him. He told his twelve plus twelve to go as they were into all the world to preach the good news to every living creature. Except for instructing them on how to behave themselves in a village, he did not instruct them further in any way as to how they were to proceed. Four years later he presented himself in his body to another who became his thirteenth apostle. He did not instruct this man how to do it at all, and soon this man became super skillful at dispensing the same message.
Remember that his dispensation was that ordinary people can do “what I have done; and because of what I have done; even greater things.” The authentic natural man is by nature compassionate, just and merciful. It does not really make any difference who you have been, it only counts what you do from now on. This is the principle of life.
Have we all asked ourselves what it is that is really in our way?
Did your father ever say, “This is my beloved child in whom I am well pleased.”
Have you ever said this to your own kids?
