What’s Good Friday to me?

It’s been long that I’ve blogged. However this Good Friday after watching the youth enact the Passion of Christ very well, I thought of penning (typing) down some of my own thoughts.

Jesus was put to death by the Romans for many things apart from their own political agenda. They feared that this guy didn’t worry about anything but rebelled against the ruling government for what he believed was true.

The Jews didn’t particularly liked them cause he kept on correcting their way of life. Kept on correcting their idea and concept of Gods will. The Jew definitely went by the book, did all that they thought was holy and spiritual to get closer to God. Yet in the midst of doing all this they forgot one small thing: Humanity.

Basic human values like love, concern, respect, etc. Their job of doing the religious activities surpassed love for one another.

Jesus tried his best to tell them that their pride in doing God’s work overshadowed the basic needs of Gods people. But unfortunately it all went in vain. In spite of telling them so much about Gods love, they were too blinded with their own concept of doing God’s will.

Jesus died teaching us how to respect and love people not matter who they are, what they did, how rich or poor they were. He showed us the true meaning of Love.

Are we waiting for Jesus to come again and die teaching us basic human values ?

I’m sure our sins have to be eradicated in our lives by ourselves but that only possible by understand Jesus’ meaning of love.

I wouldn’t want to drag this note more and just end it by quoting  Mother Teresa “How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live?
