Christ: "I am thirsty."
"Christ: "I am thirsty."
This is not bile and vinegar; specifically, it transcends the humor of that. The Multiverse functioning at a level beyond, even, your Einstein brain.
Totally, even Aquinas, "The Good Doctor" had such a grand and marvelous vision of the Father that he retired his literary career, like Joyce with FINNEGANS WAKE--no apostrophe, dude.
And "I am thirsty" goes beyond consolation for pain.
"Jesus wanted all the pain!" I've heard Protestant Preachers teach this. Possibly. Thomas Paine, a drunk, wanted all the liberty.
But a demigod? Under Roman rule? God of Wine, perhaps? Much offered to victims of the death penalty, but rarely mercy. Was He thirsty for us to be alive in God? The Torah incarnate? The Law now seeing with human eyes and more merciful? Possibly.
He was Christ. Merged and had synonymous synergy with the Good Ghost, that Holy Spirit, who Kerouac claimed, dictated to him: ON THE ROAD.
Be cautious, yes. Love Christ, yes. He is the One. But do not deny Him or His Family their abstraction of God through parable and Truth.
Make the choice of mercy. Eat a fish taco. Be nice. It's nice to be nice. When you can, of course.
