Jesus (2020)

      📹 Behold, the Lamb of God. 

Reflections
I feel, if there is something common that exists among different religious scriptures and teachings, it is love. The core principles of spirituality, perceived and experienced in  different ways or forms on Earth, revolve around love and forgiveness. Though some of the scriptures hang on to a past and a future and some hang on to living in the present, by making the most of your time (every second, every minute) on Earth.

The life of Jesus, stories and parables shared by Him, also revolves around love and forgiveness. His words, deeds, compassion and selfless love point to a way of living that is built on nothing but true love. I feel God created Love and Man created Religion. And I believe nothing will stand the test of time but Love, because, God is Love (though we see Him/Her in different forms or call Him/Her by different names).
