His Story - Our Future - Our Hope

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. - John 10:10.

He came to establish a new covenant, one that would complement and complete the old. It would be different from that which was given by Moses. Instead of being written on slabs of stone, it would be written on the hearts of His disciples. How careful do we preserve, and with what regard do we read the last will and testament of a friend? Perhaps He came near to know how it feels like to be wrapped in skin. To be constraint by sore feet and tiredness. To experience heartaches. To lose a friend. To weep with those who weep. To laugh. To be afraid. To be abandoned. To experience our imperfections. Perhaps having lived as one of us, He would know the battles we face in our flesh, our fears, our limitations. But even in the flesh, He demonstrated that it is possible to overcome the flesh, our ignorance, our myopia - to embrace and in return to be embraced by a greater good, a goodness that can only be found in and released from Himself. A love that splits time into two. A life given to restore humanity to its fullness in Him. One should be able to find a word to describe that, but the right word escapes me......unless we recognized and is gripped by Jesus of Nazareth, who proclaimed the Way, the Truth and the Light; by loving the unloved, by restoring the condemned, by embracing the rejects of society, by restoring humanity to the human race, we have missed His message. Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. - Galatians 6:9.
