WHAT THE GOSPEL SAYS - AND DOES NOT SAY - by Huberto
Rohden
Human masters teach profound doctrines - Christ lives a
perfect life and dies a heroic death.
So are those of yesterday and before yesterday - the Christ of
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Therefore, are the human masters admirable - and loved is the
prophet of Nazareth.
Analyses men intelligible truths - reveals the son of God
prospect of eternal life.
Christ is more relevant today than in the first century -
revolves around him the thoughts of all men.
Incalculable works in hundreds of languages were written about
him – but Christ continues to be the "Unknown God."
Long ago Christ transposed the precincts of the temples and
the pages of speculative theology.
The academic and the artist, the dealer and the industrial,
the believer and the unbeliever - friends and enemies, deal him.
Kant and Bergson, Chesterton and Renan, Murray and Barbusse,
Keyserling and Papini, Rojas and Maurois, all ultra modern writes what they know
about him or what they judge to know.
Toyohiko Kagawa, the Japanese Dostoyevsky, from the
working-class neighbourhood in Kobe, wrote a strange novel: Before the Dawn -
drama of a soul in search of light.
Gandhi and Tagore speak of the Nazarene – but they did not
decipher the mystery.
David Livingstone dies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika -
proclaiming in the heart of Africa the glories of Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer speak of Christ to the
Asians and Africans.
Thousands of pioneers of the faith proclaimed Christ from
Alaska to Australia - from the poles to the equator.
However, even thousand of books, works or millions of mouths
could not say more than said the rough fragments of Matthew and Mark, Luke and
John.
More in the lines one reads - more one can guess between
it.
Oh! Jesus! If is so admirable what the Gospel tells about you
- how wonderful it must be what you could not say!
If so much says the sacred fragments, we hold – how much
should say what has not been said in the gaps between lines!
If it is so beautiful what was said - how sublime will be what
was not said!
If so vast is, the bright day that we contemplate - how deep
should be the starry night that we ignore!
I read in the words of the Gospel Oh! Nazarene, the poem of
your life on earth - and I guess in your voluntary reluctance the epic of your
divine mysteries...
No, I do not want to know what else you said and done - I have
the freedom to fly into unknown spaces...
I want to intoxicate my soul with what was not written
anywhere...
I want to fly beyond all shores - beyond all Atlantis,
galaxies and nebulae...
To find what was never said or written of Thee - by
unspeakable and indescribable...
I want to read the Gospel unpublished!
The Gospel of the eternal silence...
To Thee Oh! Christ…
Divine Gospel...
