The Fire that finds everyone … (11/18/16)
NOTE: As with any other challenge, the Cleansing Fire that purifies us in the “Baptism of Christ” (mentioned by John the Baptist in Matthew 3:11) not only comes to those who choose its courageously Caring Way, but also ultimately to those who ignore the same (the “deathbed moment” that Jesus is referencing in Matthew 25) … Jesus claimed (and I happen to wholeheartedly agree) that we humans are here primarily to transcend our primitive, eons-old, ego-driven desires; to replace longings for pleasure & abundance & comfort with Desires to bring others Peace & Joy — and that when we do so we will all be “salted with fire,” and enter a state of bliss thereafter he liked to call “The Kingdom of God” (see Luke 17:20-21 & John 13:15-17).
