The Gospel is expressed in a simple style, to make the first Christians understand the way of the Gospel. Its content is extremely rich in examples (parables) which tends on one hand to effective in communication and from the other hand to send messages which give believers models of life with high impact on social organizations of that time (and not only of that time!). Although we must "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God that are God's ... " anyway Jesus’s peace, in its day by day application, has an impact on all our relationships; in fact it suggests individual sacrifice in order to have common benefits and let me say ... it's too hard!!! Anyway the real goal, the true peace, is the eternal life that means the understanding of God's Thoughts; this is the same as saying that the nearer we are to Him then the more we are as Him. Jesus’s promise: after resurrection men and women will be as angels (i.e. nearest God). love your enemy, show kindness to those who hate you, ... if somebody gives you a slap on the face present him the other side ... if somebody pulls off your cloak, let him take away also your shirt ... give something to all that ask you for something ... give to others the same things that you like to have back ... who is without sin fling the first stone ... All these examples are related in a coherent point of view and their common denominator is reflected in His life which was offered for all people ... because all was made and the light lamp is not left under a pail! Therefore the Christian concept of peace, every thing leads towards someone. Each consideration, all things and all activities can't be assumed just for themselves but they become a way to achieve universal peace. WEBMASTER |
