[Faith-talk] Did Jesus seize the day?

[qubit]

Hi Mary -- I'm sorry to hear about your brother. If it is any consolation, I 
know 2 people -- one friend and one cousin -- who are leukemia survivors, 
having received successful stem cell transplants and survived those critical 
5 years, after which they say the person is cured.  It doesn't always work 
that way, but it never ceases to amaze me how some people just survive 
serious illness. I also had a childhood friend survive  bone cancer and live 
to adulthood -- the cancer just shrank and disappeared. The interesting 
thing was, she had faith that it would -- while the medics were shaking 
their heads and giving her months to live, she was saying "but I just don't 
think I'm going to die".
As for Jesus' life, he had a different mission to fulfill, and one that he 
said wasn't necessarily what he wanted, but he did what the Father wanted. 
I think he probably did seize the day, as you say, during his life.  I think 
to say otherwise would be to make him a machine and not a sentient being 
with a soul.
What do others say?

Dear Friends,
I want to ask everyone a question.  My brother was just diagnosed
with Leuchemia.  It caused me once again to think about the
fragility of life.  I was thinking about Jesus.  When you think
about it, He was young when he died.  Did He do things in a
certain time frame, and what  things? I am trying to get to how I
feel that I want to do things right away, see people I love,
maybe go certain places that I have dreamed of seeing.  Do we
have any evidence that Jesus felt this way?
Well, thanks for your thoughts.
Mary Wurtzel
