Christ

1.Man suffers, he carries a burden to great for him to carry, it is the weight of his own flesh, his own desire, his own life. Man is confused, he does not understand how he came to be here, he knows deep down something is amiss, a corruption, a wronging, that there is more to existence than... this. We exist fundamentally in a state of separation, but from what? We struggle through the world, we are broken by it, is this what we are consigned too, for what crime? 

The world is beyond us, beyond the limits of our being, and yet, see how corrupt she is, how infused she is with death and terror. I am broken, humbled, shattered, failed, lost, beyond redemption! We are the sons of Adam, the children of God, and we are separated, torn, cast down in our current state. But, this is not the end, there is salvation, through his love, grace, mercy, sacrifice. We were never worthy, but we are loved, this is what Christ is; The answer to our brokenness, the path given by the creator, walked by him too, to show, he is Lord. Christ is our redemption, we will always be confused in this life, but he brings us to sing, to rejoice, to give thanks, to overcome our burden. To be a Christian is a recognition, a path, a way forward and out of this mess.

2. Singularly, Christ is the way to union with God, not by some deep secret, but by an open invitation, salvation is a gift not a reward. There is merit to other paths, but this virtue is the one none of them can hold, for Christ is God, he who made the world, the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end, and he gave you a gift, do you accept it or not?

3. Love towards God and his creation, benevolence towards man and living creatures, wisdom in living, obedience to his Word, a rejection to sin. First repentance, then acceptance, then rebirth, to accept Christ is merely the first step in being a Christian. your relationship with God is personal and direct, he will lead the way.

The vestments stitched by Jesus Christ were tailored for man not as he is today, but as he was two thousand years ago. It is clothing for a more adolescent mind, which, when burgeoning into greater faculties of reason, will break the seams and shed the skin thereof; what was sewn has been outgrown. 21st century man living in the age of information would have to close the shutters and draw the shades in order to believe Jesus Christ walked on water, healed sick people, multiplied bread, or that there is an all-seeing all-knowing transcendent form of consciousness that is watching them at all times and will exact divine judgment at the moment of death, either causing you damnation or elation for the rest of eternity. With respect for your pious sincerity, these garments will not fit posterity. One might imagine the death of God to drag morality down with it, but curiously enough the modern atheistic materialistic progressive liberal, who often disdains Christianity as backwater superstition, will also espouse much of the same virtues held therein, what Nietzsche termed 'slave morality': compassion, empathy, solidarity; they express tremendous concern for what they perceive as oppressed classes: blacks, gays, and women, while the Christian, as the antithesis to the 'bleeding heart liberal', hardens his against the plight of poverty and disenfranchised people, and thus we have an interesting inversion of values. It seems in many ways the social matrix has supplanted the theistic one, where the atheist liberal, in an ostentatious display of virtue, is every bit as sanctimonious as a Jehovah's witness knocking on your door, with one key difference: you can hide your thoughts and actions from your fellow man, but you cannot hide from God.
