I have this term, "hare Christian"? It's a way of saying two things at once. Hare Krishna, but philosophically
focused on this one particular story, the Christmas story.
So part 1, what's Hare Krishna mean: For Hindus, Hare Krishna is the idea of God's omnipresence here on Earth. Hare
Krishnas see God everywhere.
So looking at it this way, everything is a kind of a "christ" (with a little "c"). The walls are made of "christ," the air is "christ." It's all God, doing a thing.
Everything that's happening is God knocking, is daily bread. Or we call that the Holy Spirit.
It's a big production number courtesy of God, a grand divine magic!
God incarnate! You're swimming in it, ba-ba-loo! :D :D
The Last Temptation of Christ - Satan
So then, from there, why this one incarnation instead of a bread roll to mention, why Jesus Christ, why is this story told. Why does God appear in this way. Why the focus here.
It's a story about a teacher, a friendly, child-loving God. A God who gave everything, who loved his kiddos hard. A God of family and heart, not a God of war. A God who forgave. And a God who asked for our faith.
Not armed, not as a king; as a teacher, dying side-saddle on a donkey in pre-history. God comes to us as a gift, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Easter. As a friend and a beacon. 😊✝️🕊️
It's this fantastic, off-the-back-wall, knock-your-socks-off, majestic, perfected thing you maybe never met. It's God in the midst of God, so to speak, just crushing it.
(Sure enough, it's not the only amazing thing in God's green universe. Always something good cookin' :) 🍕🌮🍣🍜
So anyway I wrap it all up and call it "hare Christian," and I just can't stop smilin' :D ✝️💓🕊️
HA! HA! HA! HA!
