If You’re Disillusioned, You’re Closer to Truth Than You Think
Christianity has become weaponized—but the real teachings were never about control.
Throughout history, certain figures rise up to remind the world of truths it has forgotten. Some are recognized in their time; most are ignored, dismissed, or killed—only for later generations to build monuments to their words.
Jesus was one of these figures. A teacher of divine law. A prophet of moral clarity. A voice that unsettled the powerful and comforted the forgotten.
For Jews, he was a radical voice within their own tradition—calling people back to the heart of Torah.
For Muslims, he is Isa, a revered prophet who spoke truth in a time of corruption.
For Christians, he became the foundation of a faith that spread across the world.
And yet, regardless of what title history has placed upon him, one thing is undeniable: his message was not about passive belief—it was about action.
Why Did Jesus Call Himself the Son of Man?
He could have used the title Son of God, as others did when speaking of him. But instead, he chose to emphasize his human experience—the weight of truth in a world that rewards blindness.
He stood as a man among men, showing that righteousness is not reserved for the divine, but is a discipline available to all who walk in alignment with God.
Jesus understood what it meant to carry the weight of knowledge in a world that rewards blindness and deceit, yet committed himself to teaching the wounded and weary a better way.
The inner conflict between truth and deception, between righteousness and corruption, is a personal battle each man struggles to bear alone.
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5)
In biblical context, “meekness” does not mean weakness but rather humility, gentleness, and trust in God’s justice rather than relying on human power.
Jesus shared His message with the children of Israel—meaning children of all ages and races born of human fathers, who struggled with their own knowledge of truth and deception. With their humanity.
It’s the struggle of every human and why Jesus called himself the Son of Man. This made sense to the ones wrestling with secrets that were too dark to bear or to speak of.
He lived in a turbulent time, not much different from how we’re living now—constantly on the brink of existential crisis.
He understood the divinity within him, though he would not pass this down by way of procreation, as is typically expected of men to ensure the flock of their family constitution will flourish.
Instead, His mission was instilling man’s connection with God, rather than reincarnating Himself through a woman’s body.
Jesus taught anyone and everyone who would listen about what He understood, in any way possible—emphatically poetic and poignantly. Like Him, I too am a divinely led artist, actor, and translator.
We understand the finite nature of the physical lifetime, while also recognizing the eternal nature of God’s existence and our ability to live and love in alignment with that knowledge.
Anyone who chooses to live in alignment with the truth of nature—aka God—and devote their life to being a living example of God incarnate absent ego, can also come to know the creator of Heaven and Earth within their lifetime.
It is through this understanding that we are able to perform healings and miracles.
By allowing God’s energy to work through us—not by attempting to control it by force or ritual, as most do—God presents.
When he said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), he was not offering people an escape clause from responsibility. He was calling them to live by the way of divine truth—not in word, but in practice.
Truth Must Be Performed
A lesson spoken is forgotten. A lesson lived is eternal.
He spoke in movement, in parable, in poetry. Not to teach, but to make people feel.
The truth is not memorized. It is experienced.
He stood in the street, in the dust, in the places where people’s eyes burned with questions they didn’t yet know how to ask.
He answered not with doctrine, but with fire. With urgency. With knowing.
Because time in the body is short. But alignment is eternal.
Moral Law Is Not Belief—It’s Discipline
Jesus didn’t invent a new moral system. He wasn’t endeavoring to overturn divine law—he was calling people back to it.
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17)
What law was he talking about? The same law that had been given to Moses. The same law that formed the foundation of every Abrahamic tradition.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:18)
He wasn’t bringing something new—he was reminding people of what had been lost.
The way is not about belief—it is about alignment with moral truth.
And yet, in every generation, people prefer to focus on accusing others rather than aligning themselves.
They recite law but do not live it. They demand righteousness from others but excuse themselves.
It was true then. It is true now.
Why the Forgotten Understand God Better Than the Powerful
“Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” (Matthew 21:31)
It’s easy to misread this. People assume it means sinners are rewarded, but that isn’t the point.
Jesus wasn’t talking about people who rejected moral law—he was talking about people who struggled with survival.
Tax collectors weren’t just bureaucrats. They were soldiers of empire, enforcers of oppression, and fathers with hungry mouths to feed—trapped in their mortal conflict.
Prostitutes weren’t just “immoral” women. They were women with no protection, no power, and no way to survive except by selling their bodies. The men who used them were never condemned. Only the women.
What happens to the soul when survival and morality are in conflict?
Who understands God better: the one who sits in comfort, reciting scripture? Or the one who has lived on the edge of ruin, with nothing but trust in God to sustain them?
The Way Is Not Worship—It’s Embodiment
“The one who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:6)
Jesus never told people to worship him. He told them to follow him.
“If you love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
To follow the way is not to profess belief—it is to live by it.
The war of every age is between truth and deception.
When you know God, you grow God.
You will see too, once you let go of your reasons—nay, if. That is what Jesus did, and so can you.
Who Will Listen?
“Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’” (Matthew 9:13)
The only questions now are—who is listening, and how can you tell?
