Jesus Eclipsed Society and the Religious-Elite
Rejoice! All who’ve Resurrected in The Christ our Lord and King; may His Goodness and Beauty overflow through You! In honor of His Paschal celebration let’s journey into a copy of Pilgrims Guide; a Cursillo (workshop) into Christianity. Our message today is to, “ask the Holy Spirit to help Evangelize our settings and Discover new Vocations. Christ’s victory over Death is a Foundation-for-Life; to spread Joy, live Simple and radiate God’s Love for all.”[1] Jesus eclipsed Society and the Religious-Elite by offering Redemptions to all humankind.
The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin* kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two* came forward who stated, “This man said, ‘I can destroy the temple of God and within three days rebuild it.’” The high priest rose and addressed him, “Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?” But Jesus was silent.* Then the high priest said to him, “I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “You have said so.* But I tell you:
From now on you will see ‘the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power’ and ‘coming on the clouds of heaven.’” Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed!* What further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy; what is your opinion?” They said in reply, “He deserves to die!” Then they spat in his face and struck him, while some slapped him, saying, “Prophesy for us, Messiah: who is it that struck you?” (Mark 26:55-60 NABRE)
Sustaining freshly derived Peace-and-Tranquility takes dialogue with God. We encourage visiting your local House-of-Worship often before Pentecost. A voluptuous staple of Scripture, Fresh-Foods and Fine-Surrounds helps His Spirit pierce ones Soul and Divinity. At times a person’s natural Outer-Skin is hardened with Worldliness that won’t let the Romantic-Wonders of God Arise from within. With serious petition, Love subdues surrounding Chi and Humility opens the Door-to-Conversion.
