L > WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JESUS OF OUR MONASTIC YEARS?

Don,

After re-reading my Jesus post and your response to it, I have to ask you, whatever happened to the Jesus of our monastic years? That Jesus not so much human as divine, the miracle worker who healed the sick, raised the dead, and made the leper whole again. That Jesus who had the authority to forgive the sinner and rebuke the accuser, the one who descended from a long line of God’s anointed to redeem mankind, and yes, the Jesus with the halo around his head, the dreamy look in his eyes praying to his heavenly father?

Has Jesus changed, do you think? Or have we? Or is it only me? Or did this Jesus ever exist?

Have a nice Friday,

LeRoy
