When you liberate Jesus from the Holy Trinity, when you liberate Jesus from the throne of Judgment, when you liberate Jesus from the outmoded roles of tribal religion - Messiah, Warrior King, High Priest, Slaughtered Lamb - Jesus turns out to be a dear and joyful Friend, intimate with your heart, calling you to live in the kingdom of ecstatic wonder, right here and now.
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one inch to your stature?...
“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." ~Jesus, Matthew 6
