Jewish and Christian alike

2000 years ago when the Beloved Jesus Christ of the Christian people was alive in Jerusalem, what kind of people did he meet? I believe that the Israelite people of that time were educated, very religious, and deeply committed to fulfill God's will. However, they did not recognize the Son of God, did they?What make Christians so different? Christians are educated, very religious, and deeply committed to fulfill God's will. How can they be so sure that they will recognize the Son of God when he comes again?Let us not be arrogant and assume that we will have an "easier time" and let us not assume that Jewish people of 2000 year ago were "dumb" enough to miss the "boat", I don't think so. It must have been very difficult to recognize the Son of God, and that is why they missed Him. They had the scriptures, they had great knowledge of them but when confronted with the Anointed One, they could not see Him. They did not hear His words and did not recognize His deeds. He was different than expected. He brought them a new truth but they could not hear it.

So, when He comes again, what about then? Are we going to repeat the same old mistakes? Are we going to cling on to our old truth and not listen to the new one? Are we going to feel so righteous and call him an anti-Christ just like Jesus was accused of being of the devil? Are we going to be afraid, just like they were?

Will we learn from history’s mistakes? Are we going to have the courage to go beyond our self comfort and seek deeper truth? We have so little to be proud of as Christians, we give to God only lip services most of the time and most definitively do not practice the principles we claim to live by.

If you have read all the way to here, then I am grateful. I have a very simple goal through this rhetoric; it is for you to read a book titled “The Divine Principle”. Read it first, talk about it after. That it is. Thank you.
