?Quien es Jesucristo?

En El tercer Jesus, Deepak Chopra, el lider espiritual y autor de grandes exitos literarios, nos da una respuesta que, ademas de edificante, desafia las creencias actuales y da una perspectiva nueva de lo que Jesus puede ensenarnos a todos.

No hay un solo Jesus, escribe Chopra, sino tres. En primer lugar, hay un Jesus historico, el hombre de carne y hueso que vivio hace dos mil anos y cuyas ensenanzas constituyen la base de la teologia y del pensamiento cristianos. El segundo Jesus es el hijo de Dios, que ha llegado a encarnar una religion institucionalizada con devotos creyentes. Y detras de esas dos imagenes se encuentra el tercer Jesus, el Cristo cosmico, el guia espiritual cuyas ensenanzas se dirigen a toda la humanidad. Es el Jesus que habla a los individuos que desean encontrar a Dios como experiencia personal y alcanzar la iluminacion espiritual.

Al interpretar el Nuevo Testamento de una nueva manera, y al volver a lo esencial del mensaje de Jesus, El tercer Jesus puede realmente transformar nuestras vidas y a la humanidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Who is
Jesus Christ?

In The Third Jesus,
bestselling author and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra provides an answer to
this question that is both a challenge to current systems of belief and a
fresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardless of our religious
background. There is not one Jesus, Chopra writes, but three.

First, there is the historical Jesus, the man who lived more than two
thousand years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian
theology and thought. Next there is Jesus the Son of God, who has come to
embody an institutional religion with specific dogma, a priesthood, and
devout believers. And finally, there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Christ,
the spiritual guide whose teaching embraces all humanity, not just the church
built in his name. He speaks to the individual who wants to find God as a
personal experience, to attain what some might call grace, or
God-consciousness, or enlightenment.

When we take Jesus literally, we are faced with the impossible. How can we
truly love thy neighbor as thyself ? But when we see the exhortations of
Jesus as invitations to join him on a higher spiritual plane, his words
suddenly make sense.

Ultimately, Chopra argues, Christianity needs to overcome its tendency to
be exclusionary and refocus on being a religion of personal insight and
spiritual growth. In this way Jesus can be seen for the universal teacher he
truly is-someone whose teachings of compassion, tolerance, and understanding
can embrace and be embraced by all of us.
