Is it necessary to send Jesus as his son to us?

My Sunday Scripture 2010.2.28


Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray.

And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became sparkling white.

And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah

appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.

Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying.

As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid.

And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.'

And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time, told no one what they had seen.

(Luke 9:28b-36)

My Reading Notes:
---------------------

I had used to think that if God had ever created human being, he must had build in some connection inside the human body for us to communicate with him. This inborn connection, we may say, is the inner feeling about God, and about every other creature in the universe. We are connected from the very beginning. Of all the connections, of course, the most important one should be the one we connect with God.

Is it necessary to send Jesus as his son to us?

There might be something we can hardly understand. However, for the uncivilized human being, we will be easier to reach by something not within but from outside. In another word, we are foolish enough, that we can not understand things from within, thus God sent us his Son, making us to listen to Him better.

This is the same reason as we have a mind, but still we need to read books and to do every exploration to achieve anything.
