In Response...

Jesus never had a church, was not religious... never wanted holy monuments to be built in His honor. was not interested in donations that ease the load of sin... never wanted to be fought over, or for wars to be fought in His name... He was a complete human being, His every breath spiritual. He tossed the moneychangers out of the temple, and stood up to the religious pride of the Pharisees. the people He walked with, and that He taught, were His family... He was as responsible to them, as they were to Him. His answer: 'follow me...' pick up your own cross, walk your own path. salvation, a process, a path, a journey, a lifetime... not instant gratification. 'the kingdom of heaven is within you...' dont look for far off shores. within this moment lies eternity, if you dont find it now, they'll be no tomorrow! your sword is love, your flag is understanding. if you cant see God in the stranger's face, in your neighbor's face, you'll never see God! judge not... but keep walking, and if you see someone who's fallen, help him up! if you want to see the God in Jesus, you have to see the human in Him first! written in response to a comment on one of my other poems!
