Hope And Experience
Throughout life, man experiences.
At the moment of birth, the child cries from necessity that it's lungs are brought into full use, and if it doesn't cry, it is slapped until it does. It feels the pain, it cries - or screams, and all adults breathe a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, we, the little ones of God are permitted pain and suffering in order to cry out the breath of prayer in order that the lungs of our spirits may be excercised through prayer to gain fresh vigour.
The Cross did not offer a charming sight, but from the moment of The Saviour's baptism He took the cross upon His shoulders. In actual fact, He bore it for all His years on earth, His baptism I guess, confirmed His end.
In Him we have Hope, and through Him, we gain Experience for He gives us Hope and Experience.
It is painful, oh so terribly painful, for a person to live amongst viscious people, and for this reason many opt out to live a life alone.
This leaves me to ponder on the Life of Jesus while going about my daily chores.
For 33 and a half years, this Man of utter Holiness lived amongst men defiled with sin. He ate with them, walked with them, talked with them and chose to be friends with them. He experienced life and breathed the air just as we do. Walked and talked as we do, and sampled food as we do.
No man on this earth could have done what The Christ did for mankind, no man on this earth could have set the same example for mankind as did The Christ.
Did He know pain? Yes. He wept for Jerusalem. Only a person in pain weeps.
The spirit and the body are closely entwined. When the body feels pain, the spirit feels pain, and we weep, and pray.
Heh ... I am just a person of the bush, a "nature child" who is still entranced by things many take for granted. Grandoir living means naught to me, palaces mean nothing,(except if they are very very old, like, 1,000 - 1,500 years old and have deep dark secret tunnels which I can explore.)

Very interesting entries Sim, er-you removed a comment? Spam perhaps?
Something you mentioned there about the pain of living with viscious people, I agree with you that it's painful to have to put up with them. Is that why you opted out of society in general?

Hi Pat!
Yes, it is why I SORT of opted out.
And, I removed a comment by a person who seems to have a dislike towards women who read their Bibles.

Fair enough too!People who act that way can come under viscious people as well and you've had you share in life.
