An unknown dream may turn into a nightmare, but it may turn into an adventure.
What is worse than moving into the unknown dream, is the sure
anticipation of the known nightmare.
Taking this world only into account …
The first Adam had the agony
of having to choose to act
in an unknown, uncharted
world,
with the felt possibility, if he obeyed God,
of
experiencing the pain & suffering
of feeling left out of Eve’s
& the Snake’s company
& the “Knowledge of Good & Evil” club…
…He
chose not to go through with it.
The second Adam had the
agony of having to choose to act
in a known world,
with the surety, if he obeyed God,
of experiencing the pain
& suffering,
of being deserted by his
friends & disciples,
being rejected by his
nation’s leaders
& the representatives of
his God,
who would unjustly try him,
condemn him to death,
hand him over to another
nation,
who would mock him,
spit on him,
whip him,
kill him
…
…He chose to go through with
it.
Why?
Because he was stupid?
…There’s more to take into
account than
“this world only”.
