Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol IV (Nov 2011 thru Apr 2012) | Page 79

Frankly , it doesn ’ t really matter whether you are a Christian or not . To be “ saved ” is to feel how it feels to be literally ONE with your life … And to feel this perfect Peace , it is necessary to Love — to Love courageously & Love actively & Love radically & Love with empathy .
At least , that was Jesus ’ position on the matter …
“ A new command I give you : Love one another . Just as I have Loved you , so you must Love one another . By this everyone will know that you are my disciples : if you show Love to one another … If you understand these things , blessed are you while you do them .” ~ Jesus Christ ( John 13:34-35 + 17 )
Love , the verb , is the very reBirth that Jesus so wanted us all to know — which is why he preached that we could all do “ even greater things ” than he did . You see , there is nothing greater than Caring for those you don ’ t like – there is nothing greater than having the humility to reach out and be Kind to a stranger … there is nothing greater than having the courage to openly forgive your enemies .
As such , my Friends , Easter is not about being a “ good Christian ” … Easter is about reawakening to the perfect Love that resides within you right now – the “ Christ ” that lives within every living being on this planet .
Yes , regardless of your religion ( or lack thereof ), real & perfect LOVE is waiting to be reBorn in your life .
So … got LOVE ?
“ The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting ; it has been found difficult and left untried .” ~ G . K . Chesterton
