Jesus reveals to us a great mystery that deep down under the crust of creation, there’s a physics more profound than the surface level of things driven by power, status, and violence. In the center of it all, love, humility, compassion, and generosity are what truly make the world go around. On the surface, these things seem weak, fickle, and fragile. But the ultimate reality is that they are the strongest things out there.
When we try to save our lives, our go-to is to lean on the superficial physics of force. When we try to save our lives, we grip tighter around it. But if we truly want to live a full and free human life, they are what we must have wrested from our hands.
We must lose what we think of as “our life” in order to save it. We must lose the urge to control, and we must surrender to the love, humility, joy, and compassion that overcomes even the grave.
I could not agree more with this. Thank you for the reminder of what is True and what is Real! Keep'em coming!
