The “exciting” Time of year in Religion is probably Christmas; it is the coming of the baby Jesus. The Spring time is a close second with the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. I want to mention a couple of things I am thinking concerning Jesus. As with many Religions our instincts reaffirm Religious practice as good. The Truth is that Religion is a living system of our Society which has served people well for a while. Two compelling insights for today are: Jesus was very involved in the drama of the Time. He was a player. His feelings were identifiable. In his teachings, he spoke of his conscience which people understood. Now the proof of this is that Jesus Saved. He saved us Sinners with his Crucifixtion and Death. I know this must sound confusing, but today Jesus would probably have participated in the discussion about which some people get and some do not.
The second issue I want to mention and I’ve already stated that this post is confusing, Jesus was the Son of God. He was made into a man from God’s image. There was something which would not pass. And in the creation of Jesus that issue was reconciled and made into a Religion. We follow the Words of Jesus fully knowing that from the necessity of embodiment, an acknowledgment of earthly substance, there is certain criteria of the conscience that will not rationalize into a stable practice. It is just too stormy. I could be talking about feelings generally. And, I could be talking about family as a unit. And there are many instances of the disposition from which I am referring. There are probably a number of people throughout Time who have mused about this notion, and who have come to be associated in controversy similarity; Residential Sages if you will. The main point, without getting too abstract, is to just notice that the Jesus phenomena was correct for his Time and that at the very least we have an ordinary way to manage our feelings; but also that his circumstance is recognizable and though interesting would not weaken a person’s Religion. Religious practice is good. It’s okay to wonder about Jesus. Many people as have I, we muse about Jesus. I am as excited about Jesus today as I was when I first learned about his exciting news.
So, now I want to take care of some of the details. Since we want to discover Religion in today’s terms let us beg the question of our faith, something we would do naturally but don’t out of fear we would cancel something. Was Jesus a good story? Then wouldn’t we say yes to another comming? Sure why-not; It’s Christmas!! So, now let there be a person like Jesus. We will say that Adoption is too far. The acceptable term would be Foster.
But, today we have many more features in our society than that of his time. We would attest that Jesus, in an attempt to “Foster” that kind of a personality, will probably learn the facts of his circumstance from other branches of society. The person like Jesus would learn about his circumstance one way or another. The effort would be spoiled simply by knowledge yeilded from our complex society. This is one of the basic messages in the L.M. Boston’s Young Adult Book series. For today it is just enough to understand a little bit about Jesus and his circumstance. It was a correct reading just to sort of realize Jesus is a nice way of socializing or an essential Family Unit. Don’t get discouraged. The mystery has a Faith. Grow and learn as much as you like. Your Faith will not fail; it will only become stronger. And your knowledge better.
