Life Before Death

The Message

Jesus was the son of Saint Mary. She was the first girl dedicated to Temple by her mother before her birth. Before Jesus, she had spent her time by praying, fasting and mentioning the God as nuns. And she had never married or engaged to marry with anyone before her virgin pregnancy.

She had not impregnated by God or angel but God made her informed by angel on her pregnancy. So, creation of Jesus was similar with the creation of Adam. The God had said “be” and He had been.

After birth of Jesus, Saint Mary was ordered to go to Jerusalem, and also said that she had must sign that she was in fast and her Son would acquit her before people of Jerusalem. And there was the first sign/miracle of Jesus. When His mother pointed him to speak, He as a new born baby started to speak and acquited his mother and stated who he was.

Then Saint Mary and Jesus had been taken to Egypt by Joseph, the student and supporter of prophet Zechariah to protect them from prosecution and torture of King Herod. It is understood that Joseph and Saint Mary had been married and had many other children during that period.

In fact, it never means that Saint Mary had lost her purity and chastity by marring, because the thing making human dirty is not just to feel sensuality but to act by that feeling without taking its responsibility. And marriage is a declaration of intent to take responsibility. It is also valid for all other feelings in the heart of human.

Human can feel all these feelings of grudge, envy, anger, arrogance, pharisee, hostility, greed etc. since these feelings make life colorful, dynamic and active but they all must be controlled by human by mercy, wisdom, right, justice, contentedness, and death giving the actual meaning to this life and the world, and they must not control human. Although all these feelings have their own place in whole and harmony, but when those feelings control human, human becomes a monster not a real human.

After the death of Herod, they had returned to Jerusalem and grown under the supervision of Zechariah with John the Baptist. Later he went to other groups to know them. When the time had come, He started the Mission as the Christ, the demanded one to guide and salve them firstly from their prejudgments and conditionings.

And His main message can be found openly in Matta 5. But this message was not the message waited by Jewish community as our predecessors. They were waiting message as message of political leaders. In their opinion, He had must speak in accordance with their acceptances and must approve their practices but He had never accepted to approve their practices but could not approve them since their practices were as the practice of Pharaoh not Moses.

He never said new words but repeated the words of previous chosen ones, since there is just one truth and all had charged to remind the truth to the people. And the Truth is as in the expression of "we have one lord and if we want salve ourselves, we must firstly disclaim ourselves".

But His people had not followed His words, since these words had charged them responsibility against others. And this is very hard way to walk for humans since they never want to be servant, slave but want to be ones chosen and blessed by God as kings, popes, stars etc. In fact, human is blessed by God just by serving and taking care of others not trying to be ruler or god of them. Unfortunately, as I said above, being servant or slave is a mission disdained by most of humans.

So, how happy is one who hears the word of Christ and follows them as guidance for salvation.

The Christ to be followed

As you know, the word of Christ comes from Greek word “Khristós” as translation of Hebrew word Messiah. It means the the anointed one, namely the one chosen by God to salvation of Jews and then humanity.

In fact, during all crisis period, humans under trouble seek a salvor to salvage them from that circumstance.

In bible, for example, Moses was a salvor for Hebrews as downtrodden people of Egypt under cruelty of Pharaoh. They had followed the Moses and then salvaged. But later, they had not wanted to follow the Moses any more and they had been punished.

As Moses, Saul was also a messiah for Hebrews chosen by God and anointed by prophet Samuel I. He had also been supported by his people and gained victory over others.

As others, Jesus was also a messiah firstly but not only Hebrews under pressure of Rome. He had shown many signs/miracles to prove that He was the Christ demanded by faithful prays of Hebrews from God to be salvaged. But He had not called them to support Him with their swords but their hearts. Because nobody could guarantee that ones supporting just with swords supported Him for truth, justice or goodness and no christ could act just a political leader of peoples that He appeared in.

According to gospels, He said in brief that “if you want to govern all world, firstly you must govern yourselves” and “if you want to correct all humanity, first of all you must correct yourselves”, and obviously said "sabbath is for humans, but humans not for sahbbat" namely the rules for humans and not humans for rules.

This main message was not the message waited by Hebrews. They had not demanded a Messiah from God to correct themselves and shake their established system but he had to guide them as a King not a moral teacher. And also His message had shaken the status of Jewish scholars.

And then Jewish scholars had started a campaign against Jesus. And when the supporter of Jesus the Christ faced with campaign of established system (status quo) represented by scholars (monks), so the ones seen his miracles and confirmed that He was the Chirst had left Him alone, even His most faithful supporter Peter had denied Him three times before crow.

They had not just left him alone but also denied him and then betrayed him by choosing Barabbas when Pilate had wanted them to choose one of the two whilst they had welcomed Him as the Christ when He entered into Jarusalem.

But later, the main massage had been removed by a man presenting himself as representative of Jesus and transforming Him from the One to be followed to the God to be worshiped as pagans' other Gods as Apollon, Mitra, Osiris etc.

So, how happy is he/she who tries to be salt of the world by performing goodness for all as in His words in gospels.
