FINALLY, SHOULD YOU WALK OR SIT?

Isayah 9,1:

The people who walked in darkness see a great light.

Matthew 4,16-17:

The people which sat in darkness saw a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Two verbs stand out here: to walk and to sit. To walk, in Hebrew "HaLaK", takes us where we least expect it. Indeed, "HaLaK" contains "KoH-Lamed or Limoud", which means "Thus study".

As for "to sit", "Yashab" in Hebrew, this word is the root of "Yeshiva", which is the place where those who study and engage in the intellectual judgment of sacred texts sit.

Sacred texts often speak of these two verbs in different allegories: the march out of Egypt, the march in the desert, the march around Yericho and so on. All these walks are about one thing: advancing in study as the only way of salvation for the one lacking knowledge, living in the darkness caused by the veil of Mystery surrounding the truth!

To go and make disciples implies there are Teachers and masters of study and disciples in study. Where are the Teachers, where are the disciples? Where is the Corpus of Study?

Our current Evangelism is more in the noise than in the silence of a study room, our Evangelism is more in the hasty pursuit of fleeing shadows rather than in the deep, patient probing of what will last forever!

As Knowledge increases, today's Christians want to continue living as they did during the reign of the Most Holy Roman Catholic Church over the world, which were years of complete darkness over Europe.

In some cases, we're longing for the same thing in our own countries!

Wake up, knowledge has increased and continues to increase.

Through the torn veil, light floods us with its rays.

Good meditation to all!
