"Q" - question everything, be prepared for answers.
No matter what you may think of biblical matters, today is not a day which can be entirely ignored. Every age has its martyrs, some more notable than others. They can only be so not because of their deaths, but what they did with their lives.
While the gospels may not give a full or accurate picture of the man from Nazareth (policemen everywhere will tell you that as many witnesses as they gather, as many versions of the same truth they will record), there is little doubt that such a fellow existed. The teaching has stood the test of time not because of the words themselves but because of the essence of Love behind and within them.
The questions we might ask of ourselves are these - "how deeply do I feel about something that I would be prepared to give up my life for it? That the principles of that belief be not compromised? At what point would my courage fail me?"
We all need heroes to look up to and take an example from. Today, one such hero is remembered for the ultimate sacrifice. His Quest was simple, to bring the message of 'Love one another.'

ReplyDeleteI sure question it. I see it more as a myth, this story. It is an amazing story, nevertheless.
