When Jesus said,
"You shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free,"
he was talking about knowing
the truth of ourselves.
The truth of who we are
and what we are about.
The truth of our original nature
and of our innate virtuosities.
The truth of what's what with us.
The truth that we are born of God
with no original sin (What a con!)
anywhere around.
The truth that we are called to be as God
in each situation as it arises,
just as Jesus was.
And all the people who have known
the truth of who they are.
The truth that we are called to be as close to God
as some people ever get,
just as Jesus was.
And all the people who have known
the truth of who they are.
The truth that we are all called to be--
and are capable of being--
who we are
in all times and places.
That is what Jesus came to live out before us,
and to say,
"Come, follow me."
So.
There's that.
