Jesus...

 













Jesus'

Dark story

Is used to

Portray an

Imaginative savoir 

Of all mankind..

A story of

Wholeness

Broken into

A pedestaled

Character and

Bridging the

Separation with

Listed beliefs..

Yet..all of this

As a narrative

Is a reflection of

Love...


Jesus

Seems as a

Favored character

In parables

Of life and death...


The gospels

May appear

As a character

Named Jesus

Offering hope

In life's struggles..

Or as a character

Knowing that

He and we

Are equally 

Characters and 

Totally free...


"Jesus was not a Christian. He is not the founder of Christianity. Jesus never encouraged people to worship him. Christianity is a religion created later, mostly by Paul and later church councils, in the name of Jesus, and is much different from the truth that Jesus taught and lived. 

Were Jesus alive today, he would not be a Christian. 

Jesus is still one of best-kept secrets because his truth has been grossly distorted by those who claim to speak for him. There is a religion-free Jesus who belongs to all of humankind. Christianity does not own or have first rights to Jesus. His truth has universal significance. 

It's a mistake to make Jesus a religious figure or front man for Christianity. You have to disentangle Jesus from what you heard at church to find the truth he said would set you free."
