We killed
Jesus. We insisted on nailing him to a
cross. We being you and I as participants
in the prevailing political socio-economic determinants of every age (power over
others, territory, money). We as individual
human beings can make a choice to live free of these determinants but this possible
choice is hidden from us in the fog of our own making, the fog of sectarian
tribalism. Jesus refused to be a
participant in these determinants as we so readily do, therefore, we destroyed
him and continue to kill each other.
Two thousand
years later we have made such minuscule progress toward participating in the Kingdom
of God, the kingdom that Jesus believed to be our future inheritance. Will the God of the galaxies lose his cool
and make the Kingdom happen by divine decree?
Does the Job like patience of God soon end in an apocalypse? I believe not for our God, yours and mine, is
waiting still for we humans to bring his Kingdom to earth.
Shall we
stop our pandering to our smallness? Can
we? Will we?
