On Good Friday I take a sip of Passover wine and think about the City of David and the Via Delorosa and of course Jerusalem.
City of David. In narrow passages they wrote the Bible there and built the first temple and then Christ walked the Stations of the Cross.
Jesuit Theologians from Oxford and Yale will tell you it's about "Imago Dei". We are more than the children of Abraham and Sarah. Imago Dei, we are in the image of god.
In God's grace Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Christians end up in the same place. Christians are messianic Jews. And Jews are pre-cursor Christians,
I don't often go to Temple and I go to Church even less, but I like to think that after almost seven decades of squirming on those hard wooden benches I have divined the essence of what the whole story is about.
Peace of Christ to you.
Peace of Christ to your neighbor.
