You Have Heard It Before

Since I last wrote there have been two more horrors in the U.S.: In Boston, the forces of madness again took rein and caused the death of three and the mutilation of over one hundred. In a small Texas town, apparent unsafe chemical storage took the lifes of 14 and the hurting of many more, as well a the destruction of many homes.

I want to repeat one of Yeshua's more telling quotes: "The ones who hurt the most are the ones the Creator of All loves the most."

I hope those hurt come to realize this.

One day I will be gone

The Easter message is one of death and re-birth. One of the things Yeshua said was "One day you will be looking for me, and I will be gone."

How many of us do not appreciate people  until they are taken from us. We perhaps do not appreciate the wisdom, kindness or humor of a person until it is too late. We are too quick to cast judgement without looking deeper into a person and what he or she can offer us.

Is this what followers of Yeshua felt when he was taken from them? As least we have his words, saved for 2000 years, to reflect on.
