I believe…

As a messenger of divine love, Jesus was a man emanating God’s goodness and will. Being the Lord of Light, he was sent to show us the way in a dark world for all to gain true salvation by saving themselves in grasping the wisdom of his words.

Through his teaching and travels he met a woman with healing hands. Her heart was pure compassion and her light from within shined to him, just as much as her beauty. She came to be unjustly accused of adultery by the jealousy of another, and he quickly rushed to her defense; thus beginning their private love. She was his “favorite disciple” and with his title of Rabbi which meant “married teacher”, she became his wife.

Their belief in his miracles and God’s intercession brought the great beauties Jesus’ teachings had to offer to a humanity of whose thirsty souls were fervently quenched and filled by his message presenting a loving God. Yet, it also brought persecution by those who would smite out his light before allowing him to continue liberating their subjects from suppression.

Trusting in God he accepted his fate and through the challenge of the great hardship he alone had to bear, his message became more powerful than they could have ever known. Loved and revered to this day as a Great Messiah, his powerful message is still helping humanity pull free from the snares of darkness.

However, the tale within his legend not as well known is that the beauty which Jesus and Mary shared did not end on the cross, nor was it fruitless. The Magdalene bore him a blessed, little daughter Sara, upon whom their love story continued to live on.
