A Friday in History - III


As we celebrate one more Good Friday, remembering the great sacrifice for humanity, it is pertinent to note that the signs of great changes in humanity have already began. In finance, Early Warning Indicators are monitored with great care and attention. May be it is time to focus on such indicators in spiritual life as well.

In Finance, highly conservative investors like Warren Buffet doesn't get impacted by the negative developments and need not care much about the Early Warning Indicators.

Similarly, those in spiritual life, may chose to be conservative in their approach. Because when the 'unknown' hits with its full force, you need not worry. The parable in Bible about wise maidens refer to that situation.

Let us have a few thoughts about the Good Friday. It is the Friday, where the high priest himself decided to offer himself as sacrifice. See the link to the video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb4UGmEFyX4.

This has close link to an incident in the Old Testament. Abraham was asked by Almighty to sacrifice his only son for Him. Abraham puts the baggage for the sacrifice on his son Isacc and takes him to a mount. We can see parallel in this - when we see Jesus carrying his cross to Calvary.

Silence and meditation can takes us close to Almighty.

Man doesn't know everything in the universe. We have limitations. However, when we accept Jesus Christ as our saviour something changes in our Spirit. Life becomes more beautiful, irrespective of circumstances and happiness becomes the order of the day as the Peace of Jesus becomes a part of your life.
