FRAGMENTED. FREE.

We tend to strive for coherence. I hear myself and others trying to 'explain' ourselves often, ducking and diving through words and feelings to connect pieces of circumstances and soul for that cohesive whole we call 'self'.
 
The slightest action or reaction out of our control or
foresight, makes us question again who exactly we are, makes us justify and defend...
 
Jesus was the most coherent and disparate man that ever lived. He is regarded as holy, and yet by human terms there was no man more divisive and direct in his claims about self and his teaching. Jesus was meek and threatening (Mt12:20; Lk 12:4-5), healing and hurtful (Mt 12:15; Mt 15:26), shrewd and saving. (John 8:1-11)
 
He lived this and explained this by saying that he did only what the Father did, in real time (John 5:19), and that he was, in fact, in the Father, and the Father in him. (John 10:37)
 
Jesus offers you this freedom. He calls you to walk with him to and through crucifixion of self, by faith in him, and your 'togetherness', your shell and tomb, will shatter, and your spirit will soar with him, now and forevermore.
 
'The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.' (John 3:8)
