Universal Truth

Historically, people pride themselves on their accomplishments, from monetary success to the germination of a seed. When things work in our favor, we like to think we did it ourselves without the inspiration or help of nature or anyone else. Yet, there are so many factors that could have prevented our success. People and the power of nature support most everything that gives us fulfillment. Millions of us believe that it goes beyond that. God, the creator, father of the heavens and our own little speck of earth, is divinely involved. The proof of this is abundant, and yet invisible to those who don't want to believe. Historically, many intellectuals and scientific men have tried to explain the idea of God and the life and influence of Jesus. Plato, Jefferson, Schweitzer concluded that there is something beyond our understanding that is a driving force in our lives. Galileo, Da Vinci, Edison also concurred that there is a super natural power that exceeds human strength and control. These men and many more tried to fit the life of Jesus into their way of thinking. As we look into the purpose of our lives and of Jesus, there can be only one conclusion. Jesus told the truth and we must continue to seek the truth even as it becomes more bizarre to our way of thinking in society today. Jesus asks us to go beyond our human instincts. Love our enemies, may be the hardest command, and Jesus made plenty of enemies by breaking traditions. We too can go against conventions and need to do so when they tempt us to focus on hedonism. Could we give up "beauty products", "anesthesias", and "entertainments" for a healthier life. It would be a more spiritual and natural life. Cold turkey anyone?
