FROM GOLGOTHA TO GETHSEMANE

Do our present actions reflect any of these?

the healed lepers who did not thank Him
the false witnesses who lied about Him
the Peter who denied knowing Him out of fear
the soldiers who nailed His flesh in obedience to an imperialist state
the Thomas who doubted Him
the projecting accusers who said He healed in league with satan
the apostle who betrayed him with a kiss
the disciples who fell asleep during his agony in Gethsemane
the Roman Pilate who didn't want to get involved
the pre-Damascus Paul who killed civilians in a country Rome
had illegally invaded
*

(It is said that Syria is the only country in the world in which Aramaic,
the language of Jesus, is still spoken in 2 villages.)
(S Grafio brought up those who fell asleep in Gethsemane
and those who killed Him at Golgotha )
