Following Jesus' life as example


My God, I would like to say something?

In this Christmas season in which commercialism has taken over humanity I would like to reflect on Jesus' life, on his example as a human being.
This Christmas season may have a pagan background and actually be a celebration of the birth of the light. The Christmas tree may be pagan. The date of the birth of Christ may be wrong. What does it matter?
Actually only one thing seems to be important, Jesus was our example.
A man of love, a man of wisdom, a courageous person breaking conventions. Someone who was always willing to go to his Father for support and consultation, for trust and silence, for prayer and rest.

What would we quarrel if he is a creator of a cosmos, or son of God. If he is one of the great prophets or the Prophet. Will he ever box our’s ears that we did not know or did not believe him, did not acknowledge or understand him? He will only want to know if we tried to follow his example? Only tried so?
I am fed up with those religious conflicts, and that bickering, and whining about what to believe. I am really fed up with it. I do understand the atheists, who do not want have anything to do with religious fanatics who box each other's ears with their full or half-truths. Well, probably You will understand what I am getting at.

My son, it’s really something you are saying.

Jesus was a true man, a clear thinker, a true worshiper of God, a man of courage, a champion of justice. He was averse to hypocrisies and untruthfulness. He loved everybody being vulnerable, young or old, poor or sick, ugly or criminal. He knew in every person the promise of God to every man, to be allowed once to join the celestial meadows. And for this he served two goals on earth: to glorify God and to bring man closer to God.

And do not blame mankind, My son, she's just on the road.
And rest assured, mankind still has to go a long way, from animal to spirit, from struggle to surrender, from the outer to the inner, from earth to heaven.

God is man nearby on his path. Every person, at every step.
Jesus made great strides, but slowed his pace to join every human being.
In that sense he is Godlike.
For God slows It’s pace to bring along every human being.
For God knows man is pursuing only ONE course.
ONE course, ONE goal, ONE path, ONE promise.

My blessings to you all
