Your Divine Inheritence


Your crown has been bought and paid for. All you must do is put it on your head. --James Baldwin



There is nothing you need that you do not already have. There is nothing you need to know that you do not already know. There is nothing you want that does not already exist. There is nothing that exists that is too good for you. There is nothing anyone has that you cannot have. There is nothing more powerful, more intelligent, more sacred than you. You are the stuff life is made of. You are the essence of life. You have been chosen at this time, in this place to be among the living. You come from a long line of successful living beings. You are one of the king's kids. Born into the world to inherit the kingdom. You are equipped to handle anything. You live by grace, built by love. You are the cause and the reason of everything you see. You are one with God. You are creative. You are alive. What else could possibly matter? Are you claiming your Divine inheritence?

Is it not a puzzle why a big number of Christians seem fossilized in ignominy relative to the Christian path onto the Divine inheritance?

This was my nuance to humanize Easter. The Divine inheritance still looks unattractive today as it had among the early disciples and apostles.

Has the 'crown of thorns' been historicized with unthinkable trauma and gory that the crown of resurrection lost all its glory? And its human attractiveness.

Or perhaps, Easter is so gloriously divine that our human theology and etiology about the passion and death of our Christ hold us back to reach out for it, more often than not?

My comment springs from my cultural shortsightedness and identification with the humanity of the passion and death of Jesus.
