This document describes what paradise would be if certain qualities were present in a person.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

1. PARADISE
Paradise was in your eyes; if they unsurpassably harbored the feeling of philanthropic
benevolence for all mankind,
Paradise was in your lips; if they gave a smile to your impoverished comrades in
inexplicable pain; flooding their tottering lives with unprecedented happiness,
Paradise was in your voice; if it disseminated the essence of immortal peace; pacified
the tyrannized agony of the innocent deprived; with the benign melody in your
sound,
Paradise was in your shoulders; if they hoisted all those orphaned shivering
disastrously on barren streets; towards the ultimate summit of bountiful prosperity,
Paradise was in your palms; if they blessed all those destitutes obnoxiously battered in
life; molding their vibrant destinies; with the insurmountable tenacity of your fingers,
Paradise was in your ears; if they profoundly heard the disastrously augmenting wails
of the impeccable in distress; gushing like an untamed whirlwind; to be their messiah
in their hour of tumultuous discomfort,
Paradise was in your emotions; if they were fulminated turbulently for withering
mankind; profusely commiserating with both ecstasy as well as pain,
Paradise was in your fantasy; if it incessantly revolved round making this planet a
better place to exist; culminated into a fountain of astronomical sacrifice and
goodwill,
Paradise was in your lids; if they enlightened the lives of the deplorably frustrated;
winking and thereby triggering insatiable cloudbursts of desire,
Paradise was in your shadow; if it overwhelmingly calmed down irascible
discrimination; sequestered dying man in its compassionate swirl,
Paradise was in your flesh; if it ignited fireballs of intransigent passion; in the lives of
those frigidly hovering like ghastly ghosts; without their soul mates,
Paradise was in your bones; if they magnanimously bore the load of tangible
organisms in pain and traumatic torture; carrying them indefatigably; till the time
they acquired the fortitude to construct their own abode in life,
Paradise was in your wealth; if it was unequivocally used to alleviate dwindling
humanity; scrap the essence of malnourishment and stinking poverty; from
2. the trajectory of this fathomless Universe,
Paradise was in your blood; if it flowed uninhibitedlyfor your countrymen in
horrendous despair; becoming the unfathomable resilience of their bodies; to fight
against evil infiltrating their serene kind,
Paradise was in your soul; if it existed for centuries immemorial; combating the devil
with its irrefutable spirit of truth; every time that it dared to vindictively arise,
Paradise was in your conscience; if it fought for unconquerable righteousness all night
and day; towering above the clouds like an embellished prince; after affording the
same to all its fellow beings; incarcerated in webs of malice,
Paradise was in your breath; if it ardently instilled life in the immaculately lifeless;
reinvigorate devastatingly shattered lives with the scent of exuberant newness,
And paradise was in your heart; if it took an infinite more births for the person it
loved; ensuring that the waves of immortal love; formed invincible bonds; uniting the
rich and poor alike; from even the most remotest corners of this boundless planet .
