In this much lauded new 'age of aquarius'one would expect things to 'go' a little better:fewer wars,less starvation,less crime.
Where is all that power of positive thinking?
Where is all the healthful,wholesomeness promised?
Are the promises of a better age valid?Can we really 'go it alone'?
There is one who stands for us ,both at the centre of our being,and standing quietly at the frontiers of what we are struggling to become.He stands for us in affirmation of all good,all truth,in us and around us,and all beauty.
He has offered up his life,that gives all life,THAT WE MAY LIVE .
Beyond the prisons of our certainty;the softness of his truth takes the sting out of death.Mercy in the place of hate.
His name we have heard uttered,empty lisping of forgotten memories.But a name is always more than those whose lips frame 'it'.Jesus is the same yesterday,today and forever.
