The current versions are not working. If they were, the world around us would not keep going to pieces every now and then. Lost in translation, disoriented through cultural appropriation and transmitted across millennia, the versions handed down to us are both enhanced and redacted, far removed from its original context and blurred by the passage of time. Hebrew is a language rich in metaphors and literary devices like synonymous parallelism and hyperbole that emphasize and reinforce key messages. It does not easily lend itself to translation into Greek, Latin or English. The Gospel Crux re-interprets Hebrew words and metaphors used by Jesus to explore what his teachings would have meant to those hearing him firsthand. Words and phrases like Gospel, Heaven, Hell, Love, Soul, Holy Spirit and Eternal Life take on new meanings when viewed from this frame of reference. A key example is the command to love your neighbor as yourself. When asked "who is my neighbor", Jesus relates the parable of the Good Samaritan. All the characters are strangers to each other. Love does not show up in this parable. Acts of service and of going the extra mile for a stranger are our takeaways. Jesus tops it up with the instruction to go and do likewise. This brings us to the concept of self. "Deny yourself. Take up your cross and follow me." This is our understanding of what Jesus had said. "Deny yourself" is not two words. "Deny your Self" has three words. And the cross is the execution stake of self-negation. When all of this is read and understood together it reveals a well-kept secret of Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and Lao Tzu's philosophies. That our "I" is a story we tell ourselves. Through this alternate rendering of the words of Jesus, The Gospel Crux explores how we can find the peace of God that surpasses all understanding in our lives; the truth that will set your "I" free.
