Jesus Loves the Failures and the Losers

Jesus loves the failures and the losers of this world. He couldn't give two hoots for the great men and women who brought enlightenment into this world of darkness. Jesus is a Savior of what? How did he bring light into the world to brighten the hearts and mind of mankind; especially the minds and hearts of Filipinos - the victims, not the masters, of Catholicism in this only Catholic country in Asia? Jesus sought to save the world. Surely no one looking at the world today can say that Jesus succeeded. His plan of salvation was a failure; it did not work out as Jesus intended. An ideal teacher is needed now as much as 2,000 years ago. If the world is gradually improving, as seems probable, it is in spiteof the superstition of the past, not because of them. Jesus did not provide the knowledge so much needed by man today to enable him to shape his course through life. No one knows how to live correctly, how best to meet each situation, what action is suited to the occasion. Jesus did not tell us what to do. His sayings are interpreted in so many different ways. He failed to predict the needs of the future. Jesus did not explain relations between man and wife, nor between employer and employee, nor how to educate children, nor how to preserve health, nor how to make a living, nor how to prevent war, poverty and suffering. Jesus gave little practical information and his spiritual advice was not clearly enough expressed to enable man to apply it to modern conditions. Jesus neglected to instruct people how to live.
