The Greatest Story of “All Time”
I’ve been watching “The Chosen,” the Greatest Story of all Time. This morning it dawned on me that the same story of God’s Word was written in stone.
Jesus chose his disciples from those who appeared to be “ordinary men,” each with their own Human limitations and a history of unrealized protentional. From the world’s perspective they were acknowledged by their Human failures. Jesus met his first disciple, Thaddeus (Saint Jude). He dreamed of being a Stone Mason. They met while building a latrine (ie. a public amenity). Little James was next. He was lame, yet held the Dream to sing in the choir at the temple in Jerusalem (ie. an impossible dream by the Human law that only the “perfect” need apply for the position). Among the next to be saved was Mary Magdalene from the “red district.”
God changed them. Though, it was up to them to climb beyond their past to grow their Faith in the Word of God’s promise of a New Life. They started from “rock bottom” where we all begin.
Only God is God. God’s Will is carried out by God. God is the Source and Substance of all Wisdom. Jesus said, “I and the Father are One.” Jesus was God’s Offering of Light to the world that descended from Above.
