I remember meeting my friends dad after his family experienced a tragedy. This gentlemen made a profound statement that even today holds true to my heart. He said “G-D wanted you to be a Jewish so you should be a Jewish and G-D wanted me to be a Christian so that is the path I’m taking. This statement is truly relevant to my take on Easter and Christianity as a whole.
I believe G-D wants us all to believe in him but realizes that his message will be received differently from various people. Therefore G-D utilizes various messengers/prophets to reach all his children. Jesus was able to reach many people’s who were polytheistic and bring them to the a monotheistic faith. When he died as a martyr it brought many people’s to the important values of sacrifice, forgiveness and true love. Though we might differ on who Jesus was we can be grateful for the values and faith his life has brought to billions of people. HAPPY EASTER TO MY CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
