Here's how the story goes, Abraham had 2 sons, one through his slave Hagar and one through Sarah. In the other direction, at the same time, you have another crowd — the crowd following a widow as she goes to bury her only son. This is part two of my "Stories from Afghanistan" series. A similar point is made in the Gospel where Jesus' word raises the dead son of a widow and the people proclaim 'a prophet has come among them'. Such a proof is however far from being in their hands, for none but Jesus (as)son of Mary, was ever called the Shahzada-Nabi or prince prophet. The Vatican was built upon the grounds previously devoted to the worship of Mithra (600 B.C.). We have widows getting back their places in society. And all our stories today have this theme of God and life defeating Sin and Death. We have sons coming back to life. The Orthodox Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version. This second lesson on the Baptism of Jesus turns to baptism. Pray to the father.and ask intersession thru the son.But if you aren't already lifed up a more robust action may be required.Just saying. The poorest and most vulnerable of all, widows in these two stories receive the greatest gift of all – the return of their sons' lives, which meant the possibility of a future. Stories from Afghanistan: When God Ran--Jesus, the Prodigal Son, and Unexpected Common Ground in a Kabul Classroom. Harlem woman dies jumping from 8th story window with son in her arms. They are heading in one direction. In both of the stories we have today the great figures of faith are helping widows. Jesus - a Reincarnation of Mithra.
