heavy stuff

We all live as best we can

in and out of faith

in and out of hope

and especially,

in and out of love..

but if Jesus was just a good teacher,

and not the Divine Son of God,

then forget it..

what's the point?

if He didn't walk on water,

multiply fish,

give His Body and Blood as "True food" and "True drink"-Jesus,

rise from the dead..

then the heck with it..

if He was just a man.. and not True God and True Man,

then St. Paul didn't have a vision on the Damascus road,

and his conviction that nothing can separate us from the Love of God,

in Jesus,

was the rant of a crazy man..

but if He is True God and True man,

then He said some pretty radical things to Peter about building His Church,

and keys,

and crosses,

and dying to self,

and giving away everything..

and suffering..

and He didn't rescue the thief on the cross next to him..

even though Jesus promised him paradise,

the thief still had to go through the torture and pain of the cross first..

heavy stuff..
