Rereading the Gospels

Jesus knew the world in a way we never knew: for he was there from the creation and through its fall.

We thought we knew what Jesus meant, for his words are so simple; even a child can understand it.

Then we knew a little more, especially of the nature of things in the world as they truly are.

And suddenly Jesus' simple words becomes very different.

And the realisation that this simplicity conceals a deep profundity, a completeness, an unimagined precision, and a hidden revelation, shake you to your very core and essence.

And suddenly you realised that you are so arrogant, so presumptuous, so prideful of your efforts, and such an utter fool; and that but for the grace and mercy of God, you are nothing.

Jesus' paradignm of the world is different from what we think we knew. But as Jesus is the Son of Man, we too can know of this paradigm.

Ah the depth of the wisdom of God!!!
