SO This IS What It Is All About

Easter

So This is what It's all about…

The life of the Master here on this planet, as one of us, occurred during the early years of what was known as the Pax Romana.  This is commonly known as the Roman peace.  In doing a bit of research on this, however, I found this notation in Wikipedia…  The first known record of the term Pax Romana appears in a writing by Seneca the Younger in AD 55.[7] The concept was highly influential, and the subject of theories and attempts to copy it in subsequent ages. Arnaldo Momigliano noted that "Pax Romana is a simple formula for propaganda, but a difficult subject for research."[8]

I found Momigliano’s comment that the Pax Romana was a simple formula for propaganda appropriate for not only what is known of the history of that time but also as it relates to the events in the world today. In fact during the Pax Romana there were many areas of strife and warfare. Let us remember it was Barabbas who was released; an insurgent, part of a rebellion and guilty of murder.

Instead of the Master.

We all know the hearts of many are heavy these days. There are people close to us suffering from a variety of illnesses, some of them deadly. Then of course, there is the assault on the people of Ukraine, by someone else with visions of imperialism not unlike that of the Romans.

I mentioned to a dear friend earlier this week, in the most Holy of all weeks, “It is a good thing, when our hearts get as heavy as they are now, that the most magnificent pair of hands, not just in the world, but the universe, holds them in total love, keeping them safe, so that they don’t ever hit the bottom.”

Nothing proves this more than the miracle of Easter. It is so overwhelming, even far beyond that of the Explosion of All That Is, occurring when He came during what we call Christmastime, that to this day it defies explanation except…

For those of us that have true faith, true hope, and most of all true Love.

We acknowledge with all our hearts the magnality of His love, beyond any earthly wonder and so pervasive as to be omnipresent not only in every molecule of everything, even the very air itself, but in tiny atoms with their protons and their neutrons and their quarks and all the other little things that lie inside those things, yet to be discovered.

Simply put, He is risen.

And with this Rising above all risings, the most imperative thing we must do is…  To do what He commanded and still commands to this very day, indeed the exact moment you read this…

Love Me and love everyone else, unconditionally, in all our thoughts, our deeds and prayers every single second of every single day.  In our loving of others we forgive everything, including all the wrongs we thought may have been done to us.

When we do this, we not only find the essence of real Love, we understand it.  We discern what Love really is, so we can embrace It, and be the lights to the world it so desperately needs.  And in the great darkness they will see not just a Great Light, but many many many lights burning with all that is, and the fuel that never ceases to flow…

The Truest of Loves.

His.
