So I have decided to follow him who said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
What if the Christ I believe in was merely a mortal and not a god at all?
I would still choose to follow him for he has shown us a way to live,
devoting his life to serving, saving and satisfying people around him.
He taught the great commandment of love,
which is the only sensible choice in a world gone mad
with irrational pride and insatiable greed.
What if the eternal life he promised does not exist and life indeed ends in death?
would still believe in him because my faith in him has given me
a real taste of heaven on earth.
I think of and am grateful for the family and friends
I have in life who share this belief in him
and have made my life one happy, fulfilling journey.
I would die happy and not mind if there were nothing else after.
Our common belief in Christ have made for many moments of grace and true blessings. But with the gift of Faith, this stoic resignation is transformed
into a joyful expectation of “the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting!”
Amen
