CHRISTMAS AND CATTLE
Around two thousand years ago, the saviour of human,
Jesus, the “Immanuel’(നാരായണൻ- നരനിൽ അയനം ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ) took birth, in memory of which
today’s Christmas is celebrated......
He was born in
a manger.. .. witnessed by the cattle... or the cattle were the first witness
of that event which split the history of mankind into two era... they were the livestock
which gave space for the saviour to be
born... which was denied by the human species to Lord Jesus....
Hence even
after two thousand years, still they are sacrificed by human species for that
very act, the very mercy they exhibited, the very compassion they held, the
very space they given, the very respect for life they practiced and the first
witness they made to the birth of Jesus. The human who had no space for Jesus
two thousand years ago, still celebrate the event by killing and eating the
first witness of the Christmas on the Christmas day, as even today they have no
space for compassion, mercy, respect for life, value for sacrifice and kindness.
Even Herod had no such values. That day of Jesus birth, there were cries in
Rama...... for the killing of children by Roman soldiers..... Today is the day,
which witnesses the cries of the cattle, which resounds the atmosphere in
continuation of such cry...... because the stubborn human celebrate, when the
life is lost... when the life is butchered.......... and still we defame the
animal with the terminology ‘animal instinct’.... Do we follow the imperialism
and rigidity of Herod or the mercy and compassion of Jesus?...Paradoxes!!!!!!!!!!
Wish
you and the entire biome a Happy Christmas filled with space for repentance,
respect for life, compassion to the needy, zeal for justice, mercy for the
downtrodden, sacrifice for the values, value for sacrifice, kindness to the
week and equality for humanity as preached and practiced by Jesus.....🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽........
