Each of them is Jesus in disguise.
-Mother Theresa
In the beginning, God created us in His image and likeness. We are his chosen people to be the steward over all His creations. Because of sin, we are condemned to suffer ferocious death and endless sufferings. But due to His great love and mercy for us, He laid His life to free us from sins.
It is LOVE that runs the blood in our body. It is LOVE that wipes the tears in our faces. It is LOVE who heals the scar of our wounds. It is LOVE who reaches a hand when we are in suffering and it is LOVE that we suffer so much pain. But what is the truth behind man? Why man still sin?
Man in nature is rational. He thinks in accordance to his virtue and beliefs. He is endowed with great sense of humor and BIGGER minds to react to things in a manner he might or will think its best.
Man is ambitious. He explores and sees the world with all the pleasures of materials and superficial things around him. He sees life with lust and fake happiness. He wears the mask of make believe and the fancy truth of his imperfection. He selfishly nourishes his soul with money, cars, houses, wealth, power, lust and pride. He armours his arms with force and greed.
Man is radical. He is the fundamental icon of power and violence. In his arms, he can bring triumph to disaster. He can make rich people more richer and poor people more poorer. He can cause lots of painstaking lives and shattered tomorrows. He can drive people away from truth and justice. He can cause turmoil, plague, earthquake, typhoons and even death to family and friends. He can make lives for others in pain and misery.
Man is imperfect. He is imperfect to do better things for himself and others. He relies on others opinions and gather unpredictable facts that can ruin the lives of many. He is pretending to be the winner in all the challenges. He hides in his skin when wrath brings him to intense and sudden death. He forces others to please and follow his wicked ways and turn to sins. He has the freewill to do things, not minding if he hurts other people's lives.
Man is self-centered. He sees things for himself and what makes him pleasurable. He presents himself as the center of attraction from violence and injustices. He seeks refuge to those who extend help to him and those who never leaves his side even in cruelty and foolishness. He is egocentric. He wants things to be fast and having it without paying much sweat.
All the most grievous things that man do, he is always present. He is never absent in doing all the wickedness everyday. He is who he thinks he is. He is somebody in this world.
Though MAN is like these, there is still Jesus in the inside. A heart that forgives and heals the wounds of the broken patches. A hands that still reaches to save others from despair and misfortunes. An eyes that could see and tell the truth. An ears that judges no one and hears only what is pleasant. A mouth that tells reality and utter justice. A body that serve only Jesus. A soul that submits to His Holiness.
Though man is not perfect, but the great calling of man comes from this:
WE ARE CALLED TO PERFECTION!
And again...It is all because of HIS GREAT LOVE that He saves us from sin.
