Peter - Paul Strategy
(On the feast day of Sts Peter & Paul)
Pentecost is the birthday of the church and today (feast) is the day in which the church is constructively & theologically built. We could even say it is a BLOODY CHURCH. Because the church is built by the blood of the martyrs.
We could see two characters in this day. St. Peter and St. Paul.
The former is a chosen one from the so called least state and raised to a higher level. The latter was chosen from a so called higher state and was sent to the least of spirit.
This is what the real revolution would be. God breaks the statical hierarchy by them today. God brings them together as a beautiful combination of center and the periphery.
St. Peter was a hard broken rod and a short tempered man. St. Paul stammered the Jews for following Jesus.
Both are damn shit sinners. Peter practically denied Jesus. Paul destroyed Christianity. But Jesus turned them into pillars of Christianity.
In Paul God found the strength to destroy and so He used him to create. In Peter God found an urge to live an earthly life and so He used him to die for the heavenly kingdom.
What a beautiful plan it was!!!
Don't worry if you are a broken pot in front of human beings. Psalmist would say, *"Trust and take refuge in the Lord than to believe in Mortals (humans)."* Ps: 118:8
Let's not brood over the human trials on us. Always keep our heart straight to the heavenly light where you can no more find the dark shadow.
Church is not really a Capitalistic Construction, it should not be, but a Captivating Conjunction of Faith, Hope and Love.
Let's Pray:
O Lord dear to my heart.... Rule me within and let me not rule others outside. Bring me closer to a place where I can stand side by side with Love and Mercy. Amen
