Socrates Meets Jesus
by Prometheus
Good morning, Jesus, I have heard much of your marvelous teachings. In my
own modest way I am a philosopher here in Athens. I am told you have great
wisdom and certainly that is indicated by the throng of admirers that follow
you through the streets. If you have a few moments to spare, I would appreciate
it if you would enlighten me with the answers to some of the puzzling problems
I have been wrestling with all my life
I am as a fisher of men in my search for followers. I bring the truth of
God to all men. Seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be answered knock
and it shall be open unto to thee.
There is one basic question that has always been uppermost in my mind. Although
it has always been an insurmountable obstacle to me in my search for the truth
and meaning, I am sure that with your learning you will find it far to easy
and think me a foolish old man. I have always longed to live honorably and
nobly, but it seems that I have merely stumbled through life without even
even knowing what was honorable or noble. With my limited understanding, it
often seems to me that life, even with all its sound and fury, really signifies
nothing. Please tell me: How should a man live; what is the purpose of life.
To serve and worship God.
