LoO Jesus & non-canonical gospels

[kycahi]

I am enjoying this conversation about Jesus as I certainly have not figured out what He means yet. Once I had a dream that I fail to truly understand. I was going through a very hard and painful time emotionally when I dreamed that Jesus was showing me the scars on his hands and he was telling me, "They are your scars." I still don't GET it. Really. Why are my scars on his hands?

IMHO: "My scars are your scars" because we are One.

As Ra said, revealing that his compassion exceeded his wisdom, Jesus decided, like that wonderful replicant in the movie, "Time to die." He must have thought, at that point, that his death was inevitable.

Truly though, throwing lightning bolts around was only one option: he could have just slipped away (poof) and met up with the followers somewhere out of town and kept going with his "ministry." Maybe he was too proud to be thought of as a sneak, or just too weary to keep going in the 3D, and that colored his judgment.

He did, BTW, "fulfill" Old Testament prophecies by going through with the hanging, according to a Sunday School teacher I had decades ago. I don't remember the details.
