Ultimate Exile
Ultimate Exile
The season of Passover is a celebration of of freedom from oppression and slavery. It is also a celebration of returning from exile. As one studies the Tanach they will find several instances of the Israelites being sent in to exile and returning to exile. It is a them that continues to come up time and again. Today many of the Jews continue to live in exile. So I want us to understand this concept of being in exile.
We must understand we are all in exile today in many ways. Some of them in very litteral ways and some of them in figurative. In fact if one thinks about it they may realize everyone person on the planet now or have ever been on the planet has been in exile very litterally for the majority of their life.
Now some of you maybe thinking to yourself “I am not in exile. I am happy with where I am.” or one maybe thinking “Can someone truly be in exile if they do not want to change their circumstance?” some of us may even be considering “If this is exile then I have made cause it can never get better than this.” We need to understand these are dangerous thoughts.
If we are saying this to ourselves then we are in the ultimate exile. The ultimate Exile is to deny that there is anything greater in store for you.
