Diasporic Thoughts: As children of the Diaspora (African-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans, Dominicans, Panamanians, Haitians, Native-American people, etc), we are a talented and spiritual people. We have to come together and deal with the issues that are affecting our communities. We have to turn the negative stereotypes and images that the media portrays inside out and start to create our own destinies. AND THE PROPHECY READS... The Law cannot be an end in itself, it leads further. The man cannot have emotional relation or between communion and an abstract truth. The natural laws are clearly there to lead us to the admiration of the Creator and the desire to meet it. Our joys and our sorrows we cannot share them with a book or an animal but with a person who can include/understand us. The law of the sin led to seek forgiveness and to find That which forgives. The Law leads to a person, it leads to Jesus-Christ. In Greek antiquity the pedagogue was the slave charged to bring the child to the school. He did not teach itself, he led to that which teaches: " Thus the law was like a pedagogue to lead us to Christ, so that we are justified by the faith. " After his dream, God will lead further Jacob, in Peniel, there he will see the angel of the Eternal face to face, and he will be saved. Jacob feared to meet his EsaA? brother that it had misled and flown; the law of God was drawn up in his conscience, inflexible, which it had sown it was to now harvest it. There, after an exhausting fight, God will subjugate it by his grace, he suddenly dissipates terrors of the Law and floods it its blessing. God awaits us on what we fear more, not to lose us, but to save us. |
