</aside>
- The Greek philosophy was full of pungent truth 🔍, and Jesus longed to study with the masters on the schools of Greece 🗒️.
- And so he left his home in Nazareth and crossed the Carmel hills, and at the port took ship ⛴️, and soon was in the Grecian capital ⭐.
- Now, the Athenians had heard 👂of him as a teacher 📖 and philosopher 📜, and they were glad to have him come to them that they might hear his words of truth 📕.
- Among the masters of the Greeks was one, Apollo, who was called, Defender of the Oracle, and recognized in many lands as Grecian sage.
- Apollo opened up for Jesus all the doors of Grecian lore ✨, and in the Areopgagus he heard the wisest masters speak 🗣️.
- But Jesus brought to them a wisdom far greater than theirs; and so he taught ✏️.
- Once in the Amphitheater he stood, and when Apollo bade him speak, he said:
- “Athenian masters, hear! In ages long ago, men, wise in nature’s laws 🪴, sought out and found the place on which your city stands.”
- “Full well you know that there are parts of earth where its great beating heart 🫀 throws heavenward ⬆️ etheric waves that meet the ethers from above ☁️.”
- “Where spirit-light and understanding, like the stars of night, shone forth.“
- “Of all the parts of earth there is no place more sensitized, more truly spirit-blest, than that where Athens stands.” 🇬🇷
- “Yea, all of Greece is blest 🕊️. No other land has been the homeland of such might men of thought 📜 as grace your scrolls of fame.”
- “A host of study giants of philosophy 💭, of poetry ✍️, of science 🔬, and of art 🎨, were born upon the soil of Greece, and rocked 🐣 to manhood in your cradle of pure thought. ⬜”
- “I come here not to speak of science, of philosophy, or art; of these you 🫵 are the world’s best 👍 masters now.“
- “But all your high accomplishments are but stepping stones to worlds beyond the realm of sense; are but illusive shadows flitting on walls of time. 🕰️”
- “But I would tell you of a life beyond, within; a real life that cannot pass away.”
- “In science and philosophy there is no power strong enough to fit a soul to recognize 💭 itself, or to commune ☎️ with God.”
