Three Gbosa!!! for the man in history wey Sabi, one who
broke all the rules and opposed the reigning culture of violence with his inner
peace and love of his enemies. E no easy.
Yesoooo, wanna talk about my radical Jesus, a
determined and compassionate revolutionary.
Sometimes when I hear some people talk about Jesus as if
they know him like I do. I just shake my head, because I know that they know
not what I know. Yes.
I have a few things in common with this man from Nazareth,
you can safely say that I am intrigued by Jesus. Why?
Believe me, it has nothing to do with being born again. So
don’t get it twisted.
Jesus was real, authentic, and ever relevant, just like me
damn it. He spoke with honesty. He was a man on a mission. He was a radical, a
revolutionary, yet tender and kind and loving, like me a gangster. He was doing
things completely against the rules of the day. He was a troublemaker for the
religious elite, the rulers, the war-making empire, and the establishment.
Who else can command us to love our enemies, isn’t that a
daring proposal that has radical implications? Sadly enough, we have not lived
by this ethic.
Let me say this, I don’t trust most pastors, I don’t trust
most Christians, I not too sure about religion, I don’t even trust the new wave
churches. But I trust the guy Jesus. It is my contention that Jesus did not die
for us (contrary to the Catholic church) but, instead he lived for us for he
was indeed a determined revolutionary and an evolutionary forerunner for a
state of love and soul consciousness which is also deepest within each one of
us, no matter the gragra.
In my research on my guy Jesus, I found out that as a young
boy he sensed his destiny and traveled elsewhere in a quest to not only find
himself but to get in sync with his destiny. There is proof of the existence of
manuscripts in India and Tibet that support the belief that Jesus was in India
during that time in his life, between the age of about 12 to 30. Some assert
that Jesus lived the life of a Buddhist and taught Buddhist ideals to his
disciples. So l am saying that Jesus, like many of us, was originally looking
outside for God and the true meaning in his life and towards the end of those
18 years realized that what he was externally looking for was instead deepest
within him. Love, a state of soul consciousness and a kingdom of heaven so deep
that it exists beyond time and space and was calling him to service.Everywhere
that Jesus went after his 18yrs sabbatical, the decadent Roman people were
threatened by his teachings and revelled against his message of love, inner
freedom and individual power. Today, Jesus would be considered not only a
rebel, if not a terrorist and most certainly a threat to the establishment and
status quo, as he most certainly was 2000 years ago.
Jesus represents the transition from an externalized old
testament God of wrath and judgment to an internalized new testament god
of love and a state of soul consciousness. Twale!! for my Jesus.
