If Christians were Christ, there would be no turmoil. There would be no judgment. But Christians are not Christ when they live in religion and systems. They are worldly because they rely on what they know, on what they’ve heard, on what they’ve memorized and stored in the subconscious or called “the everlasting.”
Life moves up and life moves down. Essentially, we are always talking to ourselves, even when the voice seems to come from outside.
Christ is both the up and the down. Christ is both heaven and hell. Without a body, it can go anywhere. Within a body, it does the same. That is the freedom of being Christ, and not merely a Christian. You are not bound by rules. You are not bound by dogma. You are bound by life itself—by the unity of what you say, what you do, and what you are.
