Ive heard tell of the same story of the saviour being replayed time and again, going back through recorded history, from India to Sumerian, from 7000 BC.
Supposedly the story of the crucifixion is not a new one, all previous saviours came to an end in the same fashion, crucifixion.
I haven’t researched so it’s only conjecture, if true it could be seen as a primordial belief of mankind for the need for salvation and atonement.
Perhaps the man ‘Jesus’ was the latest in line to be imbued (by source?) to Install a higher reason for being, Love, being the strongest belief we possess.
I’d like to think this Man was sent to rekindle the dying embers, stoke the flames of ‘Passion’ for that higher cause.
Merry ‘Christ’mas.
