Jeff in Jerusalem (Healing Series Day #4)

Visiting with Jesus

Dear Friend: Yesterday, I visited with Jesus, in a way. At the Church in the Old City. A little time in the presence of a story not as old as time, but just as important. There, so many reminders of our shared humanness and our mutual plight; Did he die for OUR sins, or for theirs (his aggressors)? Is it easier to believe the former? What will become of us if we don’t see the latter?; While there, I saw into some of the ways we are kept from becoming all that God longs for us to become. Why create such brilliant possibility, if only for it to go to waste under the thumb of a small number of abusers-of-power?; Humans are naturally brilliant. The encoded ones long to serve. What is in our way? How much time do we think we have? Lets look deeper now, at the ways in which we are held down. The ways we are poked and prodded like maneuverable specimens born solely for the benefit of those with an egoic need to dominate their species; Ram Dass told me that “the most you can do for all of us, is to become all you are meant to become.” He was quoting Jesus. How can we become that if we don’t clearly see that which stands in the way? How can we honor God’s Creation if we allow those who long for power, to block our path to wholeness?
