“Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest!” the crowds shouted as Christ triumphantly entered the holy city of Jerusalem for the last time. Save us, grant us blessing in the highest places. The Jewish people were a conquered people, they carried the brutal weight of the Romans on their back. They would be saved.
The whole city shook with the question of, “Who is this?” Who is this man, fully human yet fully divine? My question is during Holy Week is who is Christ to you?
What kind of God comes to this world, lives precisely the same way we do, lives a life of radical poverty, heals, teaches and allows the very same people he came to save to turn him over to be beaten, whipped, tortured and crucified?
A God of love does that. A God that has a radical love for his people, a love that is unheard of and that we can only scratch the surface of. During this holiest of days, let this question of who Christ is not be far from our hearts and minds.

Dear Didi,
God has sent many messenger to earth to remind the people of God. Jesus Christ was one of them – some more: Sant Kabir, Sant Kirpal Singh, Baba Jaimal Singh, Maulana Rumi, Lord Buddha and many more. They came to earth according to men’s needs and understanding. The only way that God can make understand Himself to man is to come and live as man, as same recognizes same, so on the same level as man: with coming and going, but living a life as an example to man. This power is working through a pole, a man and is called Christ-power, Master-power, Guru-power, God-power (one and the same) – These messengers were sent in different times and even in different religions. Their purpose was to bring us near to God and to explain to us how to solve the riddle of life and death. They spoke in fact in one language (the essence of a universal teaching) but in their own way and in accordance with what people were able to understand.
If you are interested in those subject I can recommend to read: “The Dialogues of Kabir” or “Mystery of death” by Sant Kirpal Singh, or Naam or Word (in the bible: “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God…” also by Sant Kirpal Singh.
Thanks for sharing, Didi
All the best
Didi
