Towards a more perfect understanding / by kevin murray

While there are millions upon millions of people, that are quite familiar with the bodily resurrection of Jesus the Christ, there are far fewer that really comprehend the meaning of it all.  The lesson of the crucifixion and ultimate resurrection of Christ, is something that a significant percentage of people, fail to truly understand, which has a lot to do not so much with people’s lack of intelligence or their disbelief, but more to do with their lack of seeing beyond the physical into a dimension that knows not time or space.

 

It is wise to remember that fundamentally we are in our essence, spiritual and not physical.  If we don’t comprehend this fact, than it becomes very problematic to understand the nature, let alone the meaning of Christ as our Messiah, in the first place. So too, far too many people get fixated, about the whole abuse, injustice, and crucifixion of Christ – not seeming to understand that the lesson, so proven by our Messiah, is that we are never the physical, except for when we exist temporarily within this earthly plane. 

 

After all, consider this, all that is physically born, must by its very nature, physically die.  Indeed, Christ became the sacrifice for our failure to understand that when we are fixated on all the allurements, desires, and temptations that this world so presents, this often entices us to forget who and what we really are, in essence, and therefore our purpose in our being.  This meant that Christ had no choice but to demonstrate to us, in action, that all the allurements that keep us so occupied and pre-occupied, are a false construct, which precludes us from acknowledging who that we really are.

 

While the physical body is indeed mortal, that which is immortal, no matter its perceived form, can never be vanquished, no matter what.  Christ wants us to understand that though he indeed did unjustly suffer, that we needed to know, that mortality is only of this earth, and that therefore, the risen Christ, was best meant to be pictured as Christ having not just risen his physical body, but that Christ had risen beyond and above mortality, itself.

 

The games that are played on this earth, some of which are quite serious which while also having significant consequences to them, are ultimately representations of free will, being exercised upon this earth for good or for bad.  Yet, though there are mistakes so being made, there are also plenty of people that are doing the right thing.  Still, far too many people get far too entwined in their mistaken belief, that only that which is physical matters, when in reality, we are far better served to concentrate more on being in harmony with natural law, and rightful thinking.   

 

It is vital to realize that all of us, are meant to discover that we need to rise above our mortal consciousness to embrace that which is immortal so as to come to the self-realization that there is an inherent oneness that adjoins us all together; and in order to find that oneness, we need to rise well above our bodily confinement to that which will thus shatter the self-imposed delusion which so often blinds us to ultimate truth and enlightenment.
