The question becomes, however, from whom do we learn? for this important position.
Some have such a hard time placing God in that position, but
that is precisely where God needs to be. God is the Master
Teacher from whom all of humanity learns and gets its cues. It
is in and through this relationship with the Gardener of Life
that we are fashioned and pruned into the people we are in-
tended to be and can be. It is only in God that we are able to
find our best selves. Sadly, many think that religion too, as well
as history in general, has also gotten all this wrong. Yet, our
resurrection faith tells us differently. We are reminded, today
especially, that we are meant to remain in Christ as Christ re-
mains in us. We are also reminded that Jesus, the Incarnate
God, is the vine upon which we grow, the branches that flow
from the source of God’s life.
Giving up our will to God’s can be a painful endeavor. It is not
easy to set our own desires and wants aside and allow God to
step in and direct and guide our growth. But this is the only
way to prevent deadly weeds from overtaking us and bringing
us to a place of self-destruction. God’s commandments are
the very guideposts and benchmarks we need, yet our resur-
rection faith tells us differently. We are reminded, today espe-
cially, that we are meant to remain in Christ as Christ remains
in us. We are also reminded that Jesus, the Incarnate God, is
