Sixth-Day Adventist Holiday Tradition in Celebration of Everlasting Love

Whole Dude – Whole Coming: The Birth of Jesus is the First Singular Event; the Resurrection of Jesus and His Ascension constitutes the Second Singular Event and the Third Coming or the Future Coming, or the Final Coming constitutes the Whole Coming of Jesus for it includes a Plan for a New Heaven and Earth.

The Celebration of Everlasting Love on last Wednesday of July 2026

Sixth-Day Adventist begins a new holiday tradition on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, to celebrate Everlasting Love. I am asking all the Members of the US Congress to enact a new Law in celebration of Everlasting Love. The last Wednesday of July should be a legal holiday to celebrate God’s Everlasting Love.

I am posting this article to make an announcement of the beginning of a new tradition in the national life that celebrates the central role of love in developing wholesome interpersonal human relationships.

Love is central to a man’s relationship to God and the man’s relations with other persons. The word Love is not mentioned in the Torah (Law) given to the Jews at Mount Sinai.

I conducted a study of the holiday traditions of the US and I am totally surprised to note that there is no traditional celebration of the Proclamation of the two Great Love Commandments of Jesus.

While retaining the essence of The Code of The Ten Words Jesus changed the Operating Principle of the Torah or The Law. Jesus instructs that the Law must be followed by His believers not through the use of force or authority but by simply embracing the equally powerful influence called Love.

Jesus Christ established Love as the God’s Greatest Commandment. The Gospel according to Apostle Matthew (Chapter 22, verses 37-40), and the Gospel according to Apostle Mark (Chapter 12, verses 28-31) describe the Commandments of Love: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the first great commandment. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two Commandments.”

The Gospel according to Apostle John, Chapter 13, verse 34 describes the need for neighborly relations among people based upon Love: “A new command I give you: Love one another, as I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

Whole Christ – Whole Love – Whole Gospel:

WHOLECHRIST - WHOLELOVE: The term "WholeChrist" refers to Jesus before His human birth, after His Resurrection, and to the Hope of His Second Coming. The term "WholeLove" describes God's Unconditioned Love that is not determined by human knowledge and rationality. The Birth of Jesus cannot be accounted by human knowledge and rationality. — Whole Christ – Whole Love: The term “Whole Christ” refers to Jesus before His human birth, during His earthly existence, after His Resurrection, and to the Hope of His future Coming (Advent) to proclaim the ‘Kingdom of Heaven on Earth’.The term “Whole Love” describes God’s Unconditioned Love that is not determined by human knowledge and rationality. The Birth of Jesus can’t be fully accounted by human knowledge and rationality for man lacks the ability to account for his own existence.

The word Christ (Greek. Christos) refers to the Messiah whose appearance is prophesied in the Old Testament and is used as a title to describe Jesus of Nazareth. I am using the term “Whole Christ” to describe Jesus before His human birth, Jesus during the years spent on this Earth, Jesus after His Resurrection, and Jesus who gives the Hope of the Advent to proclaim The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The word Christ fails to communicate the entirety of Jesus and in the four Gospels we do not obtain the full picture as the event called ‘Advent’ has not yet taken place.

Whole Christ – Whole Love – Whole Law. Sixth-Day Adventist begins a new holiday tradition on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, to celebrate Everlasting Love. I am asking all the Members of the US Congress to enact a new Law in celebration of Everlasting Love. The last Wednesday of July should be a legal holiday to celebrate God’s Everlasting Love

Apostle Paul in his First Epistle to Corinthians, in the New Testament Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4-8 describes the attributes of Love: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

I am using the term “Whole Love” to describe God’s Unconditioned Love that is not determined or fully accounted by human knowledge and human rationality. In other words, I have no ability to empower myself to get God’s Unconditioned Love. I can’t manipulate God’s Whole Love through my actions, behavior, or even prayers. I can experience Whole Love but, I can’t explain or fully account for the existence of that Love.

Apostle Paul in his First Epistle to Corinthians, 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, verse 13 shares the Spiritual Principles of Conservation: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Man exists in a world that is restless and is constantly changing. The Individual, created human being is born, grows and develops, exists with a physical identity that constantly changes under the powerful influence of Time and the event called death records the loss of that identity that is never constant at any time of its earthly existence. In the natural world, changes in appearance are governed by the Laws of Conservation like the Laws of Conservation of Mass, Energy, and Momentum. During man’s physical existence, the physical form and appearance change and yet the Spiritual Principles of Faith, Hope, and Love are conserved. Man must not depend upon his knowledge and rationality as they are always prone to change. To know the total Reality or the “WholeReality” of his ‘WholeExistence’, man needs to know the Law of Conservation of Faith, Hope, and Love.

In the United States, we have no Law, or a cultural tradition to commemorate the event in which Jesus Christ issued the two great commandments asking people to see the Law of ‘Whole Love’ which demands, 1. The Love of God with Whole Body, Heart, Mind, and Soul, and 2. The Love of Neighbor as a need of God’s Law for man.

After my discovery of the experience of ‘Whole Love’ at Whole Foods Market, Ann Arbor, Michigan on Wednesday, July 30, 2014, I have decided to promote the establishment of a tradition’ to follow the Spirit of the ‘Whole Law’ to truly see the Commandment of Love.

To commemorate my Discovery, I am writing this appeal to ask all the members of the US Congress to approve a new Law to see the last Wednesday of July as the ‘Everlasting Love Holiday’. The choice of Wednesday is very appropriate as most other legal holidays are observed on Mondays as a matter of convenience and not for the purposes of obedience of a Divine Law which should be the source and inspiration for the Human Law. The concept of ‘Whole Love’ is the ‘Whole Law’ that is explicitly pronounced by Jesus Christ as the only Commandment that the man must follow and see in his lifetime. To acknowledge the ‘Whole Law’, to celebrate its pronouncement, we need a new tradition by instituting a new Holiday.

Whole Father – Whole Alienation – The Fundamental Dualism of Heavenly Father vs Earthly Father

Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21, 2026. Heavenly Father vs Earthly Father

Yes indeed, Life is complicated. The complexities of Life demand the understanding of the Regulative and the Constitutive Principles of Human Existence. On Sunday, June 21, 2026, I reflect on the Fundamental Dualism that I describe as Heavenly Father vs Earthly Father. Being constituted as an earthly dad, I have no options other than that of repeating the famous last words of Jesus Christ, the Earthly Father when He breathed for the last time on the Cross. “ My God, My God, Why Have You Forinsaken Me?”

Whole Dude – Whole Father – Whole Alienation: Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21,2026. Heavenly Father vs Earthly Father: The Agony of the Cup vs The Burden of the Cross. The transformation of personal God to impersonal God.

On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Father’s Day, I reflect on the unique and special relationship between God and Jesus, the Son of Man, whom I identify as my Earthly Father. I am alien, foreigner, sojourner, stranger, tenant and traveler with no place to call home.

I describe myself as the alien who carries the burden of the cross as Jesus slowly moves to reach His earthly destination. Jesus is spared from the burden of carrying the cross on the day of His crucifixion.

I describe myself as Simon a Cyrenian bearing the burden of the cross under compulsion and following Jesus. I am in the City of Jerusalem and yet I am an alien for I am not a citizen of Rome, not a citizen of Israel, not a citizen of Judea, and not a citizen of Galilee. I follow Jesus but I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth to claim the citizenship status. I reflect on the Great Struggle, the Agony of the Cup held by Jesus and the Burden of the Cross I carry. The completed act of Crucifixion resolved the Agony of the Cup, the Great Struggle endured by Jesus. I am the alien who is present when Jesus, my Earthly Father cries out as the Agony of the Cup comes to its conclusion. For my Earthly Father, the completed act of Crucifixion, was the end of the Great Struggle. For me, the Agony remains the same for I have to carry the Burden of the Cross until I reach my earthly destination.

I reflect on the words of Jesus on this Father’s Day. Before getting nailed to the Cross, Jesus expresses His special and unique relationship to God by addressing God as Abba or Father. After getting nailed to the Cross, I hear the final seven words cried out by Jesus. The special and unique relationship between the Father and the Son of Man suddenly disappears. The personal God gets transformed into impersonal God.

On this Father’s Day, I reflect upon the final words of the Son of Man. His words relate to the words of pain and anguish shared by King David, the King of Israel and the author of the Book of Psalms. The pain is the same. But, the Agony of the Cup and the Burden of the Cross are different. The Agony of the Cup gets revealed to Father. The pain of Crucifixion gets revealed to God. Father vs God. What is the difference? What makes the difference? What is the difference between personal God and impersonal God?

On this Father’s Day, I am reflecting upon the difference between the words Father and God, the two different words used by Son of Man before getting nailed to the Cross, and after the completion of the act of Crucifixion that is nearing its conclusion. In my analysis, the difference between Father and God reflects upon the nature of the relationship. The Father-Son relationship, partnership, bonding, association, the coming together, and the yoking cannot be experienced in the God-man relationship which imposes a degree of detachment, estrangement, separation, and alienation. For I describe myself as an alien, I bear the burden of the Cross as I painfully march to the destination when the struggle finally reaches its conclusion, at the ninth hour, I ask myself, “My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken me.”

The Slave in Free Nation Prays for The Blessings of Whole Patience on Good Friday

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is observed in commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus. Friday, April 03, 2026, is observed as Good Friday. I am praying to the Son of Man, a native of Nazareth, Galilee, to know, to understand the quality, the ability, and the fact of Patience. I am using the phrase “Whole Patience” for Jesus clearly demonstrates His other supernatural abilities. Jesus has several options if He chose not to wait, not to tolerate, not to succumb, and not to experience the horrors of pain and humiliation imposed on Good Friday. Today, the Slave is beholding the Son of Man to learn the Art of Patience. I am “alien” for I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Whole Patience: To Know, to understand the Quality, the Ability, or the Fact of Patience. I pray to The Son of Man known as Jesus, a Native of Nazareth, Galilee.

Whole Christ – Whole Love – Whole Redeemer:

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE. GOSPEL IS OF VERY SPECIAL INTEREST TO MAN AS IT REVEALS GOD’S COSTLY PLAN FOR MAN’S REDEMPTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

Good Friday is of very special interest to man for it reveals God’s costly plan for the redemption of man. The word redemption means to release, or freedom from payment of a price and man’s freedom or deliverance, or liberation involving the greatest possible depth of suffering. The price paying concept lies at the heart of redemption and hence it is a costly action. For man is a “SLAVE” to sin, to set him free, a ransom-price is paid. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) The emphasis is on the giving of Life as a ransom. Good Friday is a completed act for Jesus paid the ransom-price. Jesus performed this action with Whole Patience. It is immaterial as to whom Christ paid this price. For man, the only concern is to experience the results of this full redemption by receiving God’s grace and mercy through Christ and His Love. On Good Friday, Jesus had gone through the whole of human experience including the worst horrors of pain and humiliation.

Endurance is the ability to stand pain, distress, and fatigue; it is the ability to resist and withstand suffering and hardship with fortitude and patience.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE: THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF JESUS ON GOOD FRIDAY. IT IS A LESSON TO HUMANITY, A TEACHING TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE QUALITIES OF PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE. ROMAN GOVERNOR PONTIUS PILATE THOROUGHLY SCOURGED JESUS AND ASKED PEOPLE IF HE NEEDS TO PUNISH MORE.

Endurance speaks of the ability to hold up under pain, to tolerate, to put up with, to bear pain without flinching. It is the will, ability, quality, or fact of waiting without complaint. It demands steadiness, perseverance, self-control, resoluteness in the face of grave provocation. This ability to bear suffering results from firm sustained courage and it is a mistake to interpret endurance as cowardice. Jesus remained calm and unperturbed while people angrily shouted demanding his crucifixion.

On Good Friday, the Son of Man was a picture of Stoicism displaying grit, and courage that refuses to succumb under any circumstances, courage that involves utmost indifference to personal pain and suffering.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF WHOLE PATIENCE: “THEN SOME BEGAN TO SPIT AT HIM, THEY BLINDFOLDED HIM, STUCK HIM WITH THEIR FISTS, AND SAID, ‘PROPHESY!’ AND THE GUARDS TOOK HIM AND BEAT HIM .” MARK, CHAPTER 14:65.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF WHOLE PATIENCE: TO WHICH LAND AND TO WHICH KINGDOM DOES THE SON OF MAN TRULY BELONGS? IF JESUS BELONGS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, WHO HAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY AND POWER TO MAN TO DEFINE HIS TERRITORY AND HIS DOMAIN?

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF WHOLE PATIENCE: IF THE SON OF MAN WAS CRUCIFIED ON GOOD FRIDAY, IT ONLY SPEAKS ABOUT HIS WILL TO REFRAIN FROM RETALIATION, AND FORBEARANCE. PEOPLE TAUNTED JESUS TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFE AND TO COME DOWN. HIS FORTITUDE IS NOT TO BE MISTAKEN OR MISINTERPRETED AS WEAKNESS.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF WHOLE PATIENCE: ON GOOD FRIDAY, ROMAN GOVERNOR PONTIUS PILATE OR HIS SOLDIERS POSTED A WRITTEN NOTICE ABOVE THE CROSS ON WHICH JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED.

On Good Friday, Jesus was repeatedly taunted, mocked, and ridiculed by people, by criminals, by officials, by soldiers, by the high priest, King Herod, and Roman Governor Pontius Pilate. The ultimate act of indignity was that of calling Him, “The King of The Jews” showing utter contempt for His failure to save His own life and get away from the Cross on which He was nailed.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF WHOLE PATIENCE: ON GOOD FRIDAY, JESUS DID NOT EXPRESS ANY THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS OF SELF-PITY. JESUS SAID, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.”(LUKE 23:34).

On Good Friday, Jesus did not rebuke the people who offended and punished Him. Jesus did not express any desire to retaliate against them and did not express any thoughts or feelings of Self-Pity. Jesus after His crucifixion said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”(Luke 23:34)

ECCE HOMO – “BEHOLD THE MAN”

There is no easy cure, and there is no easy remedy for man’s problems. Man’s problem is that of alienation or estrangement from his own true or real nature that God implanted in man while making man in His own image. Man lives as an ‘alien’ for man has lost his connection with his own LORD God Creator. The divine nature of the Son of Man becomes self-evident when man learns the Art of Patience and Endurance. I ask my readers to ‘Behold The Man’ and see His Patience, Fortitude, Forbearance, Perseverance, Calmness, Steadiness, Strength, Self-Control, and His resolute Endurance.

On this Good Friday, I am sharing a collection of images that depict Jesus when Roman Governor Pontius Pilate presented Him to a mob of people who gathered outside the palace shouting to crucify Jesus. The Slave in Free Nation has no access to care or comfort while he faces the difficult problems of his simple, mortal existence. The Slave understands the proverb that instructs man to endure problems that cannot be cured.

GOOD FRIDAY 2026. THE SLAVE IN FREE NATION PRAYS FOR THE BLESSINGS OF PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE: IF PROBLEMS HAVE NO ANSWERS, IF PAIN AND SUFFERING CANNOT BE CURED, MAN, TO KEEP HIS EXISTENCE, HAS TO LEARN THE ART OF PATIENCE.
