letter to world of war.
It is ultimately unclear. You had a beautiful dream, didn't you? But what dream lasts for centuries? "one cannot serve both God and money. one cannot have more than one master." Have we ultimately turned from God? Then he will let our ways have their way with us. My allegiance is not to a nation any longer! I refuse, to death, any submission to the expectations of this world; of a nation's requirements.
If Jesus were here now, in our town, would he put his hand over his heart and pledge his allegiance to a flag of a nation of this world? Would he enlist in a worldly nation's army, and act according to its requirements, its expectations, its ideals? No, our identity is not of this world, we are called to be aliens. Our kingdom, our land, is of Zion. The Lord is the king of this land. "we do not conform to the patterns of this world, instead we are renewed and transformed."
We must remember throughout this life, that we are called to love and forgive one another. All of human life is sacred, and we are called to love everyone. Those who are lost in darkness cause and experience suffering, and we should love them. Those who have some shaft of light within their lives are responsible to continually seek the light and resort to it. They need love too, we all need love. We are all lost in darkness and in need of a savior, of a king. We are wise to choose a king who can lead us to true freedom, us as humanity.
How would my brother, Jared, who has passed, advise us to spend our energy and our allegiance? How would he advise us to spend our time? I know how I would spend my time if I had another chance to meet with him. Are we loving the ones we love, and loving the ones who we don't know yet? What is the value we have placed on life and soul? Will my brothers and I, now, gather and seek the light together, united? Why do we go on bothering with our meaningless meanderings through careers and finances and status? I believe there are more important things.
I understand that we all need an anthem to sing along to, to chant. Please make it the anthem of truth and light and love! And these are all realities inclusive to all nations and races and religions. Grace and peace be with all of us.
