JESUS IS MY HERO, WHO I ADORE. NO MORE. NO LESS.

Christ's Teachings,
Vinoba Bhave

(Buddhist &
Gandhi protege):


"I believe in Jesus Christ, but do not believe in circumscribing him within strictly sectarian or theological walls. To me Jesus was something far beyond any individual phenomenon. [Jesus] was Love and Compassion incarnate. We can carry his message to the people by serving them with love, mercy and compassion in our hearts. That message will spread despite you and me, because it is the innermost cry of the human heart."

"Ditto." Start Loving


JESUS IS MY HERO, WHO I ADORE. NO MORE. NO LESS.

My only hero? Oh my God, I have so many - Phil Berrigan, Dave Dellinger, Diane Wilson, Gandhi, King, Bev, Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks, Mandela, young Tim Phiri, Thomas, Connie, Ellen, DIANE, Ann, Gael, Assisi, Eleanor R, Teresa of Calcutta, Col Ann Wright, MR, Buddha, Liz MacAlister, .... and so many others like these.

But Jesus is my greatest hero. Jesus is my greatest Love. Jesus is my greatest example.

Is He God? I don't know, and neither do you. And, like Gandhi, I couldn't care less. He is my brother. He loved us more than anyone ever has. He died to give us the example of how to Live. I want with all of my being to be like Him, for you, for your children, for their children....
