Matthew 11:25 At that season, answering, Jesus said, "I am acclaiming Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for Thou hidest these things from the wise and intelligent and Thou dost reveal them to minors. Hi Alan ... ...that passage reminds me of some of those junior "minors" that were later to come along down the ages , and on a new continent write a paper that included the statement " We hold these truths to be self-evident , that all men were created equal " There should be alot more appreciation for the simplicity and depth of this eternal "vision", and less knowledge / Where is it that Jesus says that even to a child heaven is self-evident? It is so entertaining to watch these wise grown-ups play "Truth or Righteousness" ! ;-)

Here's a nice "true story" for you , fitting for the new spring : ***************** One of master Gasan's monks visited the university in Tokyo. When he returned, he asked the master if he had ever read the Christian Bible. “No,” Gasan replied, “please read some of it to me.” The monk opened the Bible to the Sermon on the Mount in St. Matthew, and began reading. After reading Christ's words about the lilies in the field, he paused. Master Gasan was silent for a long time. “Yes,” he finally said, “whoever uttered these words is an enlightened being. What you have read to me is the essence of everything I have been trying to teach you here!” "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; They toil not, neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. " Of the many great Sermons of the Buddha, one of the greatest is called the "Sermon of the Flower " @ Benares .
