Life after death…yeah, the real taste of life after we had conquered the fear of death; that is, life after we had conquered the fear of losing everything – our property, our reputation, our place at the table of power, our spot at the center, and even our lives.

Is that what you are preaching? For real? In the world of today?

Yeah!

Are you being delusional?

I am not!

Then, you are simple very naive because it is clear that you don’t understand how this world works.

Well, I think I pretty understand how the world works. But my vision and understanding of the world is not just shaped by how the world works but by the claim that God has made on me through Christ in baptism. So, tell me, should I follow Christ or follow how the world works? And it is clear that the world has not been able to redeem itself by how it works. Christ loves the world more than the world can love itself. So, in following Christ and witnessing to Him in spirit and in truth, we can love the world the more.
