Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves the separation between the singular entity called Man and the building blocks of his life called cells. The cells exist as independent individuals and the man does not rule or govern the cells of his own body. The concepts of Sin, Repentance, and Atonement are not applicable to the living functions performed by the cells.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”).

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year—the day on which we are closest to God and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before God” (Leviticus 16:30).

Yom Kippur 2024. My prayers for the Divine Mercy, Grace, and Compassion. If I have to suffer, LORD let me suffer living as a prisoner in the enemy’s camp.

“For nearly twenty-six hours—from several minutes before sunset on 9 Tishrei (Wednesday, October 01) to after nightfall on 10 Tishrei (Thursday, October 02)—we “afflict our souls”: we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather footwear, and abstain from marital relations. Instead our time is spent in prayer to God.“

On this holy day of Atonement, I am trapped in the belly of a huge fish with no chance to seek the forgiveness of either my friend or of my enemy.

I am just a refugee without a refuge. I do not know my final destination. How will I find peace while I exist as a slave in a free country? If I have to suffer, I ask God to grant me His Mercy, Grace, and Compassion. LORD, let me suffer living as a prisoner in the enemy’s camp.

The idea of repentance is well expressed in different Cultures but the interpretation of its consequences is not the same. The Jews associate the idea of repentance with Divine Atonement and Absolution of sins.

Judaism and The Doctrine of Atonement:

Yom Kippur 2025. My prayers for the Divine Mercy, Grace, and Compassion. If I have to suffer, LORD let me suffer living as a prisoner in the enemy’s camp.

Repentance is a common theme of Old Testament Prophets. Prophet Jeremiah had more to say about repentance than any other Prophet. He called upon Jews to repent and condemned them for their false worship and social injustice.

To Jews, repentance means living in obedience to Yahweh’s Will for the individual and the nation of Israel. For a Jew, atonement is expiation for his own sin in order to attain God’s forgiveness. He may achieve this in various ways, including repentance, payment for a wrong action, good works, suffering, and prayer. Repentance and changed conduct are stressed as the most important aspects of Atonement.

God set up Laws for the Israelites mostly regarding holiness and worship. The Old Testament Book of Leviticus, Chapter 16, verse 34: “This is to be a lasting ordinance for you; Atonement is to be made once a year for all the sins of the Israelites.”

The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is the most important and solemn of the Jewish holidays. It is the tenth and final day of the Ten Days of Repentance which begins with Rosh Hashanah.

The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is the most important and solemn of the Jewish holidays. It is the tenth and final day of the Ten Days of Repentance which begins with Rosh Hashanah.

God has issued a lasting ordinance and has called upon the Jews to obtain Atonement once a year. After the destruction of the Second Temple at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Jews discontinued the practice of ritualistic animal sacrifice to make the sin and burnt offerings to seek Atonement.

The observance of Yom Kippur includes a 25 hour period of fasting and intensive prayer. At the end of Yom Kippur, the man considers himself absolved from his sin and is reconciled to God.

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The fundamental complexity of Life involves the problem of Sin which dates back to the very beginning of the man. Fortunately, the Bible offers a Second Chance to the man to remove the burden of Sin. But, the burden of Sin got transformed into The Agony of the Cup and Jesus had to drink from the Cup with no other choice.

What is Sin?

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

In common usage, the word ‘Sin’ refers to the blame attached to any behavior or action that is not acceptable to established standards. At the Workplace, there are over one hundred rules of conduct and behavior; the terms and conditions for workplace behavior and conduct are explicitly stated. It is not easy to avoid blame or ‘sin’ while you work for wages or salary. The workplace often uses a scoring system by awarding points for each type of misconduct and the points earned will invariably lead to corrective action which includes dismissal from service.

Scapegoating is the practice of singling out an employee or the member of a group for unmerited negative treatment or blame. Particularly in the case of Jesus, no Gift of Atonement came to his rescue as he consumed The Agony of the Cup. I fully condemn the unjust and unfair practice that is popularly known as “Scapegoating.”

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

What is the meaning of the Scapegoat?

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

In Hebrew tradition, ‘ScapeGoat’ is a specially chosen he-goat over the head of which the ‘High-Priest’ of the ancient Jews confessed the sins of the people on ‘The Day of Atonement’ (YOM KIPPUR), after which the goat was allowed to escape into the wilderness.

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup
The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup.

This practice of transferring the sins of a selected group of people such as the Israelites and placing the burden of sin on an entirely blameless creature was duly sanctioned by the LORD God. However, to make this practice a success, we must take care of the details; and in that context, I may quote a well-known statement, “The Devil is in the Details.” Firstly, we have to understand the Biblical traditions and the division of humanity into two separate kinds called the SHEEP and the GOATS.

Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World is not a Goat:

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup: JOHN, CHAPTER 1, VERSES 29, JOHN THE BAPTIST DESCRIBEs JESUS AS THE LAMB OF GOD. HE IS THE SAVIOR OF MAN FOR HE CAN REMOVE SINS OF MAN AND CARRY THAT BURDEN AND PAID THE PENALTY. LORD JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A SCAPEGOAT FOR HE IS A LAMB AND NOT A GOAT.

I read some articles posted by biblical scholars that compare Jesus Christ to the goats described in the Old Testament Book of Leviticus, Chapter 16, verses 7 to 26. Their interpretation is totally incorrect. The word ‘SHEEP’ when applied to man, it describes a person who is meek, submissive, and obedient. The word ‘GOAT’ when applied to man, it describes a person who could be wicked, rebellious, and lecherous. Sheep and Goats are animals that are often mentioned in the Holy Scriptures and Jesus Christ is best portrayed as “The Good Shepherd.”

SCAPEGOAT SERVICE - WHOLE TEAM - WHOLE REWARD: IN BIBLICAL TRADTION BOTH SHEEP AND GOATS ARE USED IN PRIESTLY RITUALS OF HEBREW PEOPLE. BUT, IT MUST BE NOTED THAT THE PEOPLE MADE IMAGES OF HE-GOATS FOR THEIR IDOL WORSHIP AND THE IMAGES OR IDOLS OF SHEEP ARE NOT USED. LORD GOD CONDEMNED THE WORSHIP OF GOAT IDOLS AND CALLED THEM GOAT DEMONS OR DEVILS, THE FALLEN ANGELS.

LORD GOD CONDEMNED THE WORSHIP OF GOAT IDOLS AND CALLED THEM GOAT DEMONS OR DEVILS, THE FALLEN ANGELS.

It will be equally important to note that the Hebrew people made images or idols of calves and he-goats and even appointed priests to worship those idols. The Old Testament Book, 2 CHRONICLES, Chapter 11, Verse 15 mentions that King Rehoboam, son of King Solomon appointed priests for the goat and calf idols he made. Whereas there are no reported incidents that involve the worship of images or idols of sheep.

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup. Idolatry by the Hebrew People. Idols of Sheep were never involved in the Biblical practices of Idolatry.
The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Cup of Agony. Goat vs

In the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 17, Verse 7, LORD GOD Commands, “They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the ‘goat idols’ (goat devils or demons) to whom they prostitute themselves.” Hebrew religious ceremonies and offerings at the Tabernacle included the sacrifice of both sheep and goats.

Lord God condemned the practice of idol worship and he blamed the people of Israel and the animals that are used in the practice of idolatry. The worship of he-goat idols constitutes the worship of devil or devils.

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves the separation between the singular entity called Man and the building blocks of his life called cells. The cells exist as independent individuals and the man does not rule or govern the cells of his own body. The concepts of Sin, Repentance, and Atonement are not applicable to the living functions performed by the cells.

However, it must be noted that the plural word “Devils” occurs four times in The Old Testament. Twice, the term ‘devils’ represents “Sa irim” which means he-goats.

The Separation of the Sheep and the Goats:

The cells exist as independent individuals and the man does not rule or govern the cells of his own body. The concepts of Sin, Repentance, and Atonement are not applicable to the living functions performed by the cells.

In The New Testament Book Matthew, Chapter 25, Verses 31 to 46, the separation of human beings into Sheep and Goats is fully described. “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. The sheep will inherit the Kingdom prepared for them since the creation of the world. The righteous sheep receive the blessings of eternal life. But, the goats are cursed into the eternal fire and they will go away to eternal punishment.”

It makes abundantly clear the concept of Reward and Punishment and explains the meaning of sheep and goats as applied to mankind.

Who is Your Scapegoat?

The ‘ScapeGoat’ is spared its life for a specific reason and it has a specific purpose and a mission to accomplish when set free in the wilderness.

The Concept of the Escaped Goat or Azazel:

The “escaped goat” is a fallen angel and got transformed into a desert demon or devil and must be recognized as a female or a she-goat.

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves the separation between the singular entity called Man and the building blocks of his life called cells. The cells exist as independent individuals and the man does not rule or govern the cells of his own body. The concepts of Sin, Repentance, and Atonement are not applicable to the living functions performed by the cells.

I carefully examined the concepts of The Scapegoat and The Escaped Goat and found that the ‘ScapeGoat’ is an ’emissary goat’ that is sent to the wilderness to specifically meet the ‘escaped goat’. The Hebrew word “AZAZEL” primarily refers to “escape.” The ‘escaped goat’ did not escape from the Israeli camp. The ‘escaped goat’ had ‘escaped’ from God’s Kingdom in Heaven. For that reason, the ‘escaped goat’ is a ‘fallen angel’, a devil, or a demon. The gender of this ‘fallen angel’ must be interpreted as female for the ‘escaped goat’ is a she-goat or “ez + azal.”  A male or he-goat is purposefully chosen as the ‘Escape Goat’ for it has the natural ability to deliver the sin to the devil or demon which is thought to be a she-goat.

It is surprising to note that both Hebrew and Christian Scholars have failed to interpret the word “AZAZEL.” Is that a place? Is that a person? Is that an action called ‘Escape’? In my view, “AZAZEL” describes a “Fallen Angel”, an Angel that deliberately escaped from God’s Kingdom in Heaven. Having escaped, the Angel got transformed into a ‘Devil’ and the ‘Devil’ can be easily recognized for the ‘Devil’ has horns and a tail.

We have to carefully understand the Biblical principles and practices to save people from punishment and harsh retaliation for their sinful conduct and behavior. While the Bible recommends a very rigid conduct code, it uses a flexible approach while giving punishment. Bible does not always demand punitive or retaliatory action while it deals with the problem of sinful conduct.

The Old Testament Book LEVITICUS, Chapter 16, verses 7 – 26 give a very detailed description of the practice called “The Day of Atonement.” The Bible gives the man a second chance, a chance to atone, redeem, and save himself for his shortcomings.

It is very interesting to find that the Bible has devised a mechanism to transfer the sins of an individual, or even a large group of individuals and place the burden on the head of an innocent creature whose life is spared while it finds an opportunity to dispose of the sins in a place far away from the community.

“But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to be used for making atonement by sending it  into the desert as a scapegoat (Leviticus 16:10).” Further, the Bible carefully describes the entire practice by which sin can be transferred. “He (the High Priest) is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites – all their sins – and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the desert in the care of a man appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a solitary place; and the man shall release it in the desert (Leviticus 16:21-22).”

It is very clear that the Bible does not intend to punish or retaliate against the scapegoat which is used for Sin Removal and Sin Disposal Service and the Bible insists that the life of the scapegoat must be protected by appointing a man for the task of dispatching it into the wilderness or desert.

The Biblical Legend about “Escaped Goat”

WHOLE TEAM - WHOLE LABOR - SCAPEGOAT TRADITION: THE PHRASE "SCAPEGOAT" HAS A VERY INTERESTING STORY RELATING TO ITS USAGE.IT IS DERIVED FROM THE HEBREW WORDS SAIR+LA+AZAZEL WHICH MEANS HE-GOAT + TO + DESERT DEMON. THE GOAT THAT LEAVES OR RELEASED IS ALWAYS A HE-GOAT AND IT ALSO IMPLIES THAT THE FEMALE-GOAT HAS ALREADY ESCAPED OR LEFT. HEBREW. EZ + AZAL WHICH MEANS FEMALE-GOAT LEFT.

THE GOAT THAT LEAVES OR RELEASED IS ALWAYS A HE-GOAT AND IT ALSO IMPLIES THAT THE FEMALE-GOAT HAS ALREADY ESCAPED OR LEFT. HEBREW. EZ + AZAL WHICH MEANS FEMALE-GOAT LEFT. HE-GOAT IS AN EMISSARY AND IT IS RELEASED WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL MEET SHE-GOAT AND TRANSFER THE BURDEN OF SINS.

The phrase “ScapeGoat” was coined by William Tyndale in 1530. Tyndale was an English reformer and translator of the Bible. His work is the basis for the Authorized or King James Version of the Bible of 1611. But, unfortunately, he was executed for heresy in 1536. He could not get the chance or fortune to be a “ScapeGoat” and he carried the burden for the faults of the Church and its Clergy.

The phrase combines Scape + Goat and it is probably derived from Latin. Caper Emissarius which means Emissary Goat, or Greek. Tragos Aperchomenos which means Departing Goat. In the Hebrew tradition, the phrase is derived from “Sair La Azazel” which means a “Goat that Leaves.” But, the Hebrew word “AZAZEL” also refers to the name of a ‘Desert Demon’. In Hebrew, the phrase was coined to imply that the “ScapeGoat” is always a He-Goat and that the “She-Goat” or “EZ + AZAZEL had already left or escaped. The Emissary Goat or the Departing Goat has a purpose for it is sent to the wilderness to meet “AZAZEL” the Escaped She-Goat or its transformation, a Desert Demon. There is some connection between the Escaped She-Goat and the Desert Demon. To seek atonement, the Hebrew tradition is placing the burden of sins on a He-Goat and then releasing it in the desert or wilderness where it may have the opportunity to find the She-Goat or the Desert Demon which may eventually accept the burden of Sin delivered by the He-Goat.

The Gift of Atonement did not give the opportunity to Jesus from not accepting the Gift of The Agony of the Cup. For I am not able to avoid the Agony of the Cup, I seek the Mercy, Grace, and Compassion of the Lord to give me the chance to suffer the indignity of the life of a prisoner spending the days of his life in the enemy’s camp.

The Gift of Atonement vs The Gift of The Agony of the Cup: Yom Kippur 2025. My prayers for the Divine Mercy, Grace, and Compassion. If I have to suffer, LORD let me suffer living as a prisoner in the enemy’s camp.

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 15, 2025, I reflect upon 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 Forsaken Me?”

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 upon 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 upon 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.”

Earth Day 2025. The celebration of the Flat Disc experience of existence on Mother Earth

Earth is the natural home for all humans, plants, and the animals that inhabit this planet. We need to learn to keep this home safe, and healthy for the sake of our future generations. Earth’s resources should be used in a wise and judicious manner. We need to accept the stewardship of the planet and act to preserve and protect the plants and the animals that share their lives with us. 

Earth Day 2025. The celebration of the Flat Disc experience of existence on Mother Earth

Earth Day 2025. The celebration of the Flat Disc experience of existence on Mother Earth

The man’s existence on surface of planet Earth demands the experience of Flat Earth with Arched Dome on which the man observes the apparent motions of Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The man experiences alternating periods of Day and Night, and experiences changing Seasons in consistent manner without experiencing the true or real motions of Earth and with no direct experience of the true shape of Earth.

I drank from that cup. Now, the cup could be described as half full or half empty. Is that really important? The cup that I drink from gives me pain and I experience suffering. What would be the right question if I have to drink from that cup? What I truly experience from my life, the reality of my condition is more important than my attitude towards my existence. The issue is not about optimism or pessimism. I need to focus on knowing the reality and I need to face the reality about what I experience when I drink from that cup of my life.

The First Earth Day Celebration was held on April 22, 1970. It has now become a global tradition to celebrate Planet Earth as man’s only home in this vast universe of unknown dimensions. In the Indian tradition, I pay my tribute to Mother Earth, Goddess Earth often adoringly described as Bhu Devi or Prithvi Mata.

Earth Day 2025. Indian Traditions about the role of Planet Earth:

EARTH, ‘PRITHVI’, OR ‘BHUMI’ IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVE THE COSMIC BALANCE AND UNIVERSAL ORDER.

MOTHER EARTH, ‘PRITHVI’, OR ‘BHUMI’ IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVE THE COSMIC BALANCE AND UNIVERSAL ORDER.

In the ancient Indian scripture of Rig Veda, Mother Earth or Prithvi Mata is described as the primordial goddess. She is also known by the names of Bhumi, Dhra, Dharti, Dhrithri, and Dharani all of which refer to her sustaining beneficence as “that which holds everything.” Akasha (Sky), Vayu (Wind), Agni (Fire), Jala or Varuna (Water), and Bhumi or Prithvi (Earth) are described as ‘Pancha Maha Bhutas’ or the Five Great Elemental States of the Material Nature or Prakriti. She is the consort of Lord Vishnu, the Divine Protector of the Hindu Trinity. Earth represents the female principle of fertility and is the source of all vegetation and is responsible for precious and bountiful crops and fruits that it yields. She is the sustainer and the preserver of the Cosmic Balance. She stands up to the rights of the living entities and defends them from Cosmic Forces and Energies. She symbolizes  the concept of a just and stable universe. She represents dedication to  maintenance of ‘Dharma’  or Righteous Action which defines the Universal Order. She bears witness to all of our actions and particularly the actions of miscreants and evildoers who transgress the rights of weak and innocent denizens living in her domain. She mutely observes the acts of depredations and oppression. She endures all kinds of suffering with calmness and displays a great quality of patience. However, there are natural limits to her forbearance.When stressed beyond her limits of threshold and particularly to uphold the vital principle of Dharma, she cries out aloud, calls for  attention of all gods, and insistently demands for  intervention of Lord Vishnu, the Divine Protector.

Patience in Suffering – The Concept of Whole Patience

EARTH, ‘PRITHVI’, OR ‘BHUMI’ IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVE THE COSMIC BALANCE AND UNIVERSAL ORDER. The concept of Whole Patience.

Indians find encouragement  in developing perseverance while confronting trials and tribulations of many kinds. The idea that Mother Earth is a witness to their pain and suffering provides man a sense of comfort and enables man to endure suffering with a sense of hope and  expectation of deliverance. Indians are culturally driven to face calamities with calmness as they hope that Mother Earth would intervene on their behalf. Being patient is a quality t imparted to the human character by Mother Earth.

The Art of Patience involves learning the basic principles of Ecology which describe the interconnectedness, interrelatedness, and interdependence of all living creatures on planet Earth.

BHAVANAJAGAT CELEBRATES EARTH DAY - PATIENCE IN SUFFERING : MAN IF VIEWED AS A SOCIAL ASSOCIATION OF TRILLIONS OF INDEPENDENT, INDIVIDUAL LIVING CELLS, HUMAN EXISTENCE DEPENDS UPON MUTUAL ASSISTANCE, MUTUAL COOPERATION, MUTUAL TOLERANCE BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE INTERACTING BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITY .

The principles of Ecology are applicable to human nature and human existence. Man is a social association of trillions of individual, independent living cells. Human existence depends upon mutual assistance, mutual cooperation, and mutual tolerance between members of the interacting biological community that represents the human individual. Man exists because of the living functions performed by individual members of a biotic or biological community.

THE FIRST EARTH DAY

Author: History.com Staff Website Name: History.com Publisher: A+E Networks

Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of the world’s environmental problems, is celebrated in the United States for the first time. Millions of Americans, including students from thousands of colleges and universities, participated in rallies, marches, and educational programs.

Earth Day was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, a staunch environmentalist who hoped to provide unity to the grassroots environmental movement and increase ecological awareness. The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy, Senator Nelson said, and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda. Earth Day indeed increased environmental awareness in America, and in July of that year the Environmental Protection Agency was established by special executive order to regulate and enforce national pollution legislation.

On April 22, 1990, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, more than 200 million people in 141 countries participated in Earth Day celebrations.
Earth Day has been celebrated on different days by different groups internationally. The United Nations officially celebrates it on the vernal equinox, which usually occurs about March 21.

Whole Passion – Remembering Good Friday

Musings on Good Friday – Personal God vs Impersonal God

Looking at Jesus on Good Friday: The Agony of the Cup vs The Burden of the Cross. The transformation of personal God to impersonal God.

On Friday, April 18, 2025, Good Friday, I reflect upon the unique and special relationship between Jesus, the Son of Man and God. 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 upon 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 cries out as the Agony of the Cup comes to its conclusion.

I reflect upon the words of Jesus on this Good Friday. 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.

Whole Dude – Whole Yoke

I am Nailed to the Cross, Awaiting the Crushing Hour of Darkness

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me?

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is observed in commemoration of Crucifixion of Jesus. Friday, March 29, 2024 is observed as Good Friday and I “Behold The Man” who promises to set me “Free” from Slavery, Serfdom,  and Bondage to Sin. These Blessings of Salvation are shared by Saint Matthew in His Gospel, Chapter 11, verses 28-30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me?

In the literal sense, yoke is a wooden frame or bar with loops or bows at either end, so constructed as to unite two animals, usually oxen, enabling them to work in the fields. Yoke is figuratively used in the sense of Servitude. Yoke is a symbol or mark of Bondage, Subjection, Serfdom, Slavery, Forced Labor, and Involuntary Servitude.

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me?

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.

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me?

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)

On Friday, March 29, 2024, Good Friday 2024, I reflect upon the unique and special relationship between Jesus, the Son of Man and God. I am alien, foreigner, sojourner, stranger, tenant and traveler with no place to call home.

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me? The Life of a Sojourner Bearing the Burden of the Cross

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. My discipleship is predestined by the Sovereign Grace and not by my belief or disbelief, or free will.

I reflect upon 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 cries out as the Agony of the Cup comes to its conclusion.

However, I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. There is no escape from the reality of walking to my grave carrying the burden of the Cross.

On April 07, 2023, Good Friday, this humble slave has accepted the reality of walking to his grave carrying the burden of the Cross. There is no real Freedom unless and until this slave enters the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. I am “alien” for I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

For I describe myself as an alien, I bear the burden of the Cross as I painfully march towards my earthly destination and when the struggle finally reaches its conclusion, at the ninth hour, I ask myself, “My God, my God, Why have You forsaken me.”

Good Friday 2024. At my final hour, I will be asking, My God, Why have you forsaken me?
