“The Messiah will come when he is no longer necessary.”
Jason said that to me once during his office hour and I have been thinking about it ever since. Every time it comes to mind, the very first think that pops into my head is “Oy vey. I guess he’s not coming.” The idea that the Messiah will only come when he is no longer necessary is either very exciting or very depressing. It could be exciting in the sense that perhaps humanity will wake up and get itself together and someone coming in and fixing everything won’t be necessary because we will have already done that ourselves. Or it is completely depressing because human beings so often show the worst side of humanity which isn’t really humanity at all.

Hi Jenna...one way I sometimes think of it is that the Messiah is at the beginning, middle, and end of all our thinking about what "needs" to happen first. Give that up, and He was already always here. Food for thought...
