Happy Easter

This Easter, today, I suggest we consider that the theological theory of Jesus dying because He had to somehow take on the sins of the world does nothing but reinforce these betrayals and feed their ferocity. Instead, His was a life and unique insight into God’s Love that I feel is found nowhere as clearly, at least for myself. We are in the position during this Easter to celebrate a life lived absolutely Transparent to the Transcendent and, more importantly, it was a life we were called to live by Jesus himself, again and again. A life of Love.

Christ is the moment of interface between the human and the Divine in each of our lives, that which Jesus called us to have the courage, wisdom and drive to accomplish for ourselves, here and now, with God’s every blowing breezes of Love and Grace.

This remarkable event, the life and teaching of Jesus, was lived from a center so strong, so unshakable. Where "life" told Jesus (as it often tells us), “No!” and yet God tells us, “Yes.” That, my friends, is the true message of Easter.

When we try to figure it all out we can find ourselves trapped in any number of blind alleys. What Jesus said, is that at some point it all becomes meaningless except for one thing — Divine Love.

That, and not a theory or a bureaucracy or a dogma is what will carry us on into the unknown lands.
