"Most of us believe that most are true words, and it matters not if he was God, or the son of God, or merely a man who paid the final price for what he believed" 2 billion of us give or take a few believe that he was the Son of God. When Jesus rode in on a colt into Jerusalem there was adoration and praise for the Son. One week later they were crying "crucify him!" Were these Jews the same ones who one week earlier were giving him acclaim as the Son of God? Now they were saying, if he is the Son, let it be on our heads and on our children. "Crucify Him!" This day in time will forever be to me an example of his abandonment and the full realization of his royal blood and majesty when on the cross he pleaded with God to forgive them. Who but the Christ could breath these words in spite of their cruelty and rejection of Him. How lonely he must have felt. Not even the physical pain could match the rejection that he felt at this moment. Christ, forgive us even as we continue to reject each other. You see, we have had 2000 years of practice at hurting you and our neighbors. Who is your neighbor? Santiago

Dear Nihil, Matthew 16:13-17 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples " Who do people say the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 But what about you? he asked. Who do you say I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. Nihil and who do you say he is? That is what counts in the end. I pray you have a glorious Resurrection Day and that God will reveal to you that Jesus is your Messiah and desires to know you. Nancy
