Entering into Time

Remember the life that we have lived. Though not everything is remembered, we are able to see it as a series of events. We may be able to take history as human history, earth history or as the universe history. We are capable of considering time as a whole, but we cannot comprehend the whole development of history in its entirety.

There are many things we need to ‘accept’ though not willingly. That is in fact suffering. Those moments do not reveal their meaning if we keep the line of series of events. Though we may never understand them at all, yet everyone of them is significant. Time brings its meaning not in a linear fashion but in a multilinear fashion with innumerous number of intersections as though a web. There we find history and its sense, which we may not comprehend at all. That web is full of grace if they are still connected, there is the Logos and the life. 

The broken or unbroken threads are to be passed through, and we cannot escape any of them. They can be people, religions, cultures, nations or any thing that has sent a spark of life or flash of fire into our history. We cannot avoid or neglect any of them. If we do, we miss the realisation of Christ himself. Because Christ has ourself, our life and history, the world, the cosmos and time in him.
