I believe in Christ, his simple message, or better - his example, at the surface he is for friendship but at the bottom for salvation (A grand gift exchange). He gave us grace through example, and we give him us, he gave us love through this example, then we give this love to those around us, which when given - in some cases morphs into grace and the entire process starts all over again… in the end all giving our newly found love back to Christ by doing what he showed us to do. All we have to do is participate, in this giant game of white elephant.
EXAMPLE:
I saw this after analyzing the blood cell and its duty, lets start with a dying cell somewhere in the human body (or humanity). We are each a spiritually dying individual, like a dying cell which lacks oxygen. But when fed the right chemicals or nutrition - Oxygen, (in our case Love) this cell (or individual) continues to thrive. Christ became the lungs of life, breathing in its power, starting a complex mechanism, and giving us the duty to carry it to others.
By teaching us Grace we can give up apart of ourselves and start loving or nurturing the other, (the rest of our body - humanity as a whole), and by loving ourselves we love others which is actually loving God. I know it must be right because it is not self centered, its not just about me getting to heaven, its not just about you getting to heaven, its not about me me me me you you you you, I I I I, and it is certainly not anything about a "them", its about "all" getting to heaven - which I believe is bound to happen (His family as a whole, the entire body of humanity as a whole). But only if we play our new God given role in this mechanism we dwell.
This is the way we must begin to think about each other. I do not mean socialism, but the air that we carry amongst ourselves, there is no longer room for personal pride or ego, because in reality we all have in the eyes of God equal value in spirit. MY soul is just as important as a whores soul, my brain however or my skills or whatever you want to call them, are an entirely different matter.
I like to believe the one thing that differs us from others is this understanding, the awareness. We (the ones who know love) became aware after giving ourselves up to this beautiful process, we became aware of our human condition, sin, (self condemnation and self destructive behavior) and his yearning to fix it, his love. And I like to believe those who have experienced love are those who have for a very long time only experienced sin (Self condemnation and self destructive behavior), very much of it...
