Is the apple three parts, skin, fresh and core? Or is it simply one – the apple? Do Muslims, Jews and Christians worship three different Gods? Or is it one?
In the Old Testament, there was a God-fearing man called Abram. He was married to a woman called Sari. We are told in Genesis 15 that God visited them and breathed his life into them, they would now be called Abraham and Sarah. The ‘Ah’ being ‘the breath of life’. God told Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Now note please, not one nation – as in the Jews, but of many nations – more than one. They were old at this stage and Sarah didn’t believe that all things were possible with God, so she persuaded her husband to have a child with her maid, a woman called Hagar.
But once Hagar grew fat with a baby Sarah couldn’t stand it anymore and was consumed with jealousy and made Abraham take Hagar to the desert. Hagar cried out to God for help and he came and blessed her. Her son, Abraham’s first son, was called Ishmael. Mohammed, who the Muslim’s recognise as their faith leader is a direct descendant to Ishmael.
God, true to his word as ever, blessed Sarah and she also gave birth to a son, whom they called Isaac. Jesus is a direct descendant to Isacc.
Jews pray to God, the Father of Abraham.
Muslims pray to God, through the son of Abraham.
Christians pray to God, through another son of Abraham.
Then tell me this… why are we all fighting?
Is friendship not stronger than hate?
Isn’t love longing lasting than loathing?
Shouldn’t we acknowledge we are allowed to be different?
I’ll respect you, please try to respect me.
Let’s acknowledge God in our own way, no wrong, nor right.
May the Father of Abraham breath ‘ah’ into us all.
May the descendants of Abraham be pleased with our efforts.
May the Lord God Almighty join us as one.
