Allegory of the New Testament

Imagine having children. Or, imagine your children (if you have) — Imagine, never interacting with them and having a nanny who sees to them, and then come report to you how they are.

Imagine having tried to get a child for 10 years, or 20! And then someone dare come between you and him or her!

Imagine there are no smart phones to communicate. Nothing as such as asking the nanny to put the kids on the line. Just a person taking care of them, receiving cash from you for their dues, meals, health, etc … never being allowed to see them even if you stay in the same house.

Perhaps you’d hear them scream and play within the hallway. Mayhaps they are crying from illness or a hurting tooth. And you yearn to hug them … and them cuddle about you — giggling. But all that only stops in your head.

You manufactured them, and had to let go of them the moment they ended weaning.

As a result, the child or children have a right to think anything of you! Even if you tell the nanny to tell them on your behalf how much you love them. I think they’d wonder ‘Is this father real? Does this mother love me? How do they even look like …?’

You’d end up becoming an idea: a dimming idea of fantasy each day that passes by, until they completely ignore you, or package you as a ghost.

That’s how the Old Testament felt like. That is how religion feels like. And God was done with the pain! And so He broke the rules! He kicked down the door and came to you! He no longer wanted a nanny in between Him and you! That is why the veil between the inner court and the Holy Of Holies was rent in twain!

He was done missing you; and so He leaped out of the idea of illusion that humanity — that you had formed; that He was hateful, always in wrath, always out to get you when you trespass, always wanting you clean and perfect before you’d see Him.

The father who ran to the prodigal son didn’t demand he wash up first before He’d hug him. He embraced him with all the pig aura that had soaked him!

God was tired of men coming to speak to Him about you, and for men to talk to you on His behalf; for some could misrepresent Him;

Your own mind would make you jump to your own conclusions. Heck, even the snake misrepresented His image to our first ever parents.

He didn’t want any alien else telling you ‘that you were naked.’

He wanted to speak to you face to face. Giggle with you, and have you cuddle in playfulness with Him whenever you had the time. Just like He did with Adam.

HE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU!

HE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU!

HE … IS … INNNNN … LOOOOVEEE … WITH YOU!

XOXO,
