The world must therefore despise and reject me, because the world is the belief that love is impossible. If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting God. My will is His, and your decision to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. As God sent me to you so will I send you to others. And I will go to them with you, so we can teach them peace and union. T-8.IV.3:7-11

They hated Jesus so much because of His rejection of the world of the ego that those in power, who had a vested interest in the status quo, killed Him. But He rose above it all, forgave them, and we are still talking about it 2000 years later. Jesus’ values, beliefs, practices, and awareness are still with us if we choose to pay attention to what He taught and stood for.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. However, the motto seems to be “search and don’t find.” Looking for truth and meaning in the world of the ego is a fool’s errand. Jesus said that the way to the Kingdom is “to love as I have loved.”
Today it is suggested that we reflect on who and what we love.
