The Heretical Commentary: Essay 1
"Why do you live like you're going to die, Alfred?"
Heresy comes to mind when I think about the insanity of actually making this internal inquiry public.
I'm either losing my mind or actually beginning to get it back "...for this was not revealed to" me "by flesh and blood, but by" the everlasting "Father in heaven."
It's interesting...
We exhaust ourselves trying to mend the veil that tore when He died.
Are we mending the veil so we can hide behind it like Adam and Eve hid behind the bush?
We toil....and in this vain effort...we tire ourselves in mind, body and spirit...and we tire those around us.
Too tired to love...both God and neighbor.
The 'found' get lost.
We make His words good advice rather than good news. And the yoke just gets heavier and heavier.
The Sabbath becomes a day, rather than the Way.
Are we walking out of the Garden....again?
It's right in front of you Adam.
It's right in front of you Eve.
The Spirit whispers and the snakes yell....but don't be distracted...not now.
Seek first the firstborn of the dead...
See your life in His life and find life, abundantly....
Ever. Lasting.
So...?
"Why do you live like you're going to die?"
Well said, good question :)
