Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
That which Christ is most remembered for is not his life nor indeed his attunement to divinity nor indeed anything that he manifested as representative of the potentials within humanity, but he is best remembered as being a sacrificial lamb. - David Spangler
