Off the cross

in #jesus5 years ago (edited)

This is an ongoing debate but I refuse to stand down out of love and empathy for all those who continue to be wrongly persecuted by an unfair cruel world.

Today is the day the Christians post about how glorious he was to rise from the dead, yet completely miss the paralel of how he SHOULD NOT have even had to face persecution in the first place. He was an innocent man, sentenced to death by those who did not like what he was teaching.

Jesus brings us liberation from the fear of death in his act, and also spoke on reincarnation:

Matthew 17:10
10The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.
12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
13Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

His bravery in facing his own death
allows us to see that death is but an illusion and that its what we do with our lives that matter most

2019 years later I beg we take this man off the cross instead of forcing us all to relive his terrible agony, while majority missing to stand up and stop this same process being done to innocents today.

Easter is meant to be humanitys liberation from the fear of death, instead every year we put Jesus back up on the cross and ignore the repetition of innocents being stolen away due to conflict, poverty, and unresolved jealousy or anger.

Climate change and a poisoned world being the biggest cross our children will bear unless we change our process as a species immediately.

For he said it was they who were the ones to be most protected by adults.

[Matthew 18]
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.4Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

[Causing to Stumble]

6“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! 8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Let these msgs ring loud and clear in remembrance of him as we see his spirit alive in every man, woman and child here today.

Those were his words.... directly ^_^;;;
May we have the ears hear them now.
