Growing up in the Christian faith I was always under the impression that Jesus died to save us from our sins.
Somehow these words never felt right.
They never resonated as a deeper truth.
Something was missing or at least unsettling.
I did not know what it was.
When your study the texts, Jesus knew that he would be murdered by the people.
Yet he never been able to find words where he explicitly said that his death would save followers from their sins.
There was an instance where a wayward head of the Jewish faith at the time made a prophesy to this effect.
The same priest who would ultimately condemn him and have him put to death had prophesied earlier that Jesus would be killed to save his people.
And yet I wondered, how could a priest who was so deluded and lustful for power, condemn and demand…

And if this life leaves much to be desired, you be the living life yourself.
Many will be transfixed with your indecipherably glowing winsomeness (winsome comes from the Old English wynn, which means “pleasure, delight”, so etymologically a winning smile is not a facial expression that wins us over, but one exuding such goodness that we are filled with joy; see [here]).
Many more will seem to be rejecting you.
Neither matters all that much.
Stay gently devoted to being this living life. There can be no lack of joy when our mystically open hearts see in all the One we love.
Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ Πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις, πρᾳότης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστι νόμος.
– Προς Γαλάτας 5,22-23. The original text in Hellenistic Greek.
But the fruit that the Spirit produces is ripe with unconditional love, joy, peace, longsuffering, virtuous usefulness, kindness, living in accord with faith, gentleness, self-discipline based on sacred awareness. The depth of such behaviours cannot be measured; no law can stand against them.
– Galatians 5:22-23. Etymologically analytic translation by Leon Hieros.

and then [Cecilia here].
