When Jesus Changed Religion Forever

by Marc on May 27, 2020

Across the history of human religion, we see the same structure over and over. In order to access God, or become enlightened, or get a blessing you have to go to that certain special spiritual place at the certain special time and there the special spiritual people will help you offer your sacrifice, or offering, or gift — and maybe then you’ll find what you need. The benefit of that system is that it is abundantly clear and concrete. But in a conversation with a Samaritan woman Jesus upended this structure forever.
