ANON Easter post left out important details esp. neglected to include MARY
Q asked: Who do you Trust the most?
One right answer = your Priest. Now who has been lying to you the most? Your Priest.
Dividing WE THE PEOPLE - carried out by all religious institutions.
Example - The REAL Easter Story
Jesus was a human who walked the earth 2,000 years ago. He was the Son of God just as you and I are; not God. But he posessed - and still posseses, a magnificant elevated SOUL. The highest of all time.
Like the anon of his time he hated how We the People were being treated.
He was no sissy or coward, he railed against the institutions and they hated him for it.
He gained a following as his message of Freedom resonated across the land.
His followers were both men and women.
He fell in love with one of his followers, Mary Magdalene.
Together they along with the others traveled to spread the word of Freedom from oppressors (same cabal back then too).
Of course it was not long before the cabal of his day tried to assassinate him.
Jesus, like any true Patriot, still continued on with his mission of Freedom.
This was the true birth and very beginning of the “Great Awakening”.
He knows his time on earth will be short and he must make the best of it.
He informs his followers he will be crucified soon.
His followers are devastated. Mary Magdalene is particularly distraught.
Mary Magdalene anoints Jesus with precious nard, a whole jars worth (including valerian oil, a pain releiver).
The Apostles were horrified. In the day this was reserved for the high priest to bless, ordain or consecrate in tiny drops. Paul complains that Mary is wasting all that oil that it could be used to pay for the poor.
Jesus tells him to leave her alone, if that is what she wishes to do.
Jesus returns to Jerusalem and sure enough they arrest him.
He, like the others to be crucified are forced to carry their own crosses.
Jesus drags his cross through the streets of Jerusalem, the Via Dolorosa.
Mary Magdalene witnessing this is now beside herself with grief.
She shoves the Roman guards out of the way and runs to Jesus clinging to his side.
Jesus is now forced to drag Mary up the hill along with his cross (did he mind?)
Mary’s complete devotion to him certainly had to provide some comfort.
The woman he loved and she loving him so completely, both together in the final journey.
Jesus is now on the cross.
All the followers are greatly saddened and come to the cross to mourn their great loss.
After the others have gone, Mary Magdalene and a few of the of the other women stay vigilant at the base of His cross.
Jesus’ body is taken down after he dies and placed in a tomb and covered with a large stone.
The plan was to remove the stone from his tomb and anoint his body on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene seems to be in charge, probably took it upon herself, of the anointing.
Anyway, she can’t wait and gets to the tomb very early before anyone else and sees the stone from the tomb has been rolled away.
Because of this Mary Magdalene’s becomes the first witness of Jesus’ resurrection. She is gleeful and runs to tell the others.
Paul ,true to form immediately calls her a liar.
Of course this gets sorted out and everyone accepts his resurrection.
The Moral of the story.
Men and Women who love and serve each other completely and are devoted to the Freedom of WE THE PEOPLE are the backbone of “THE GREAT AWAKENING” begun by JESUS.
