Ilustration As Books Jesus the Son of Man

beautifully written, but of course...man...this is Kahlil Gibran :) he made me feel like there were thous of butterflies fluttered in my heart... ...i am seeing Jesus through the eyes of a poet: let me quote Jesus first encountered with Miriam:

For mind you, my friend, I was dead. I was a woman who had divorced her soul. I was living apart from this self which you now see. I belonged to all men, and to none. They called me harlot, and a woman possessed of seven devils. I was cursed, and I was envied. But when His dawn-eyes looked into my eyes all the stars of my night faded away, and I became Miriam, only Miriam, a woman lost to the earth she had known, and finding herself in new places. And now again I said to Him, “Come into my house and share bread and wine with me.” And He said, “Why do you bid me to be your guest?” And I said, “I beg you to come into my house.” And it was all that was sod in me, and all that was sky in me calling unto Him. Then He looked at me, and the noontide of His eyes was upon me, and He said, “You have many lovers, and yet I alone love you. Other men love themselves in your nearness. I love you in your self. Other men see a beauty in you that shall fade away sooner than their own years. But I see in you a beauty that shall not fade away, and in the autumn of your days that beauty shall not be afraid to gaze at itself in the mirror, and it shall not be offended. “I alone love the unseen in you.” Then He said in a low voice, “Go away now. If this cypress tree is yours and you would not have me sit in its shadow, I will walk my way.” And I cried to Him and I said, “Master, come to my house. I have incense to burn for you, and a silver basin for your feet. You are a stranger and yet not a stranger. I entreat you, come to my house.” Then He stood up and looked at me even as the seasons might look down upon the field, and He smiled. And He said again: “All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.” And then He walked away. But no other man ever walked the way He walked. Was it a breath born in my garden that moved to the east? Or was it a storm that would shake all things to their foundations? I knew not, but on that day the sunset of His eyes slew the dragon in me, and I became a woman, I became Miriam, Miriam of Mijdel.

Column Out Of Books Jesus the Son of Man

GREAT book New VisionFertile imaginationBeautiful soulUnique mentality

I don't typically review books, but I felt I should offer something to this work of art.Though it doesn't always line up with what the actual scripture says, it is incredible to read even fictional and postulated accounts of those who interacted with Jesus. Gibran does very well in showing three different peoples in regards to their view on Jesus of Nazareth: those who were committed to him, those who hated him and those who were indifferent. Gibran's poetic voice is incredible, and even if

I too died. But in the depth of my oblivion I heard Him speak and say, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."And His voice sought my drowned spirit and I was brought back to the shore.And I opened my eyes and I saw His white body hanging against the cloud, and His words that I had heard took the shape within me and became a new man. And I sorrowed no more.Who would sorrow for a sea that is unveiling its face, or for a mountain that laughs in the sun?Was it ever in the heart of

This poetic re-rendering of the Gospel story really makes you think about who Jesus is/was by throwing the biblical text in a blender, chopping it up, and serving it back in a very different way from what we're accustomed to hearing. Gibran retells the story from literally a hundred different points of view, by giving voice to familiar biblical characters (Mary Magdalene, Peter, James, John, etc.), as well as others character types that would've peopled the multi-cultural world that was

Not bad - the premise is to write (muse on and turn into words) what many people might have thought about Jesus. All his Biblically named friends, as well as antagonists (Annas the high priest, Barabbas, etc) and some thoughts from 10, 20, 30 years later - Mary Magdalene, and even Kahlil, describing himself as "a man from Lebanon 19 centuries later."79 essays in all, from those on the margins, to those with status and power, those who interacted with Jesus, to those who saw changes in friends of

It may seem presumptuous for someone from the 20th century to write about the life of Jesus in this manner, but Gibran pulled it off brilliantly. I actually bring this book to church, and read it alongside the scriptures for inspiration! Jesus: The Son of Man gives readers a very personal look at the Savior, and a very affecting one.
