jesus talk
jesus!? wow what a
good topic, well its not required to have an eleven years of religious
education to understand Him, He cannot be understood by education,
religion, or eleven years of going to church and the next thing you
knew is that He doesn't make sense anyway.
Speaking about the story in Luke 2, when jesus is about twelve years
old missed out by His parents only to find Him out three days after
talking with religious scholars and having a debate with them (because
jesus stands in opposition and defiance with religion, Jesus is about
relationship not religion)
surprisingly just as jesus is a perfect child and talk back to His
parents telling them "why are looking for me" because in a time of
their journey back home they actually missed jesus or lost Him. marry
and joseph get nervious "they lost the SON OF GOD" ha ha
jesus is actually saying "you have missed the point guys, you have missed me" and He grieve of How many people actually go to church keep on doing rituals, dogmas and all that religion requires WITHOUT INTIMACY and RELATIONSHIP, not knowing who jesus is.
dear michael at joy, thank you sa comments. natuwa naman ako at na-enlighten! mas close spiritual na ako ngayon kaysa nung mga panahon nung bata ako na hindi ko ma-reconcile yung seeming ironies ng religion. basta nung pumunta ako sa LB for college, mas naging close nga ako kay God.
for miss clarissajoy: nice thought, not about religion (but relationship and intimacy)well if you want more to read... check out my blog and also my book (coming soon, prophetic)
for miss dudes:
hehe nice thought, by the way religion is not my talk i hate it to the
core and with passion. huhu. btw think about this, jesus has no pristin
call of a secure christianity, full of rituals, traditions, and
voodootheology (which by the way what religion is all about) but a life
fully alive, full of risk, adventure and of many times seeing what
others might find offensive, in short BARBARIC.
jesus calls us to THE BARBARIAN WAY... intimacy and no hypocricy (which
by the way is His case with the pharisee- the religious elite of His
time.
when the whole world is busy thinking of how their lives suck big time, they do not think of the kids in the street with no food to eat.
when the whole world is dwelling on love and its mysteries, its refreshing to see someone write about the Lord.
for me, its not about religion, its about God. Ü
