I know that JESUS had realized his Divinity and we are also called to realize our divinity as he said, "YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD."
Jesus said, "Don't you know that you are gods?" and he said further, "Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect."
In other words, GOD created Jesus as human being just like the rest of us and he perfected himself and became ONE WITH GOD!
Let's respect ourselves and admire each other. We are amazing. You are amazing. You are the mystery of existence made manifest. And you are unique human being with the opportunity to contribute your art to the glorious song of life. There is no one in this world who is greater than you and none lesser. You are a marvel. There are no words adequate to describe all you are.
Lets' stop being so sober and celebrate our existence. Let's stop being so frightened of life and adopt a paranoid perspective. Let's live lightheartedly and revel in the humor of our predicament. Because life is a black comedy so ironic that most of us miss the gags. "God is a comedian playing to an audience too terrified to laugh", as Voltaire quips. So. let's lighten up and enjoy the show. Then we'll understand why the Gnostic Jesus laughs. Because life is funny. But only heretics get the joke.
Have you ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing? Probably not.
why not? hehehe
for me...this is more positive than seeing him nailed on the cross. no offense to our catholic brothers here.
