The Rupture: Returning to the True Message of Christ I was raised in a Catholic family, guided from a young age by the teachings of Christ. His message became the center of my life—a compass shaped by love, compassion, and faith. Over time, however, I began to see something that deeply troubled me: the same sacred teachings that once inspired unity and kindness were, in many places, being used to create fear, division, and control. This realization led me to reflect more deeply on what it truly means to follow Christ. At its core, the message of Jesus is simple. It can be reduced to one word: Love. Love for God, love for others, love expressed through forgiveness, understanding, and humility. This message does not change. It has never changed. And yet, throughout the years, interpretations of the Bible have sometimes drifted away from this foundation. In some cases, faith has been used as a political tool—to elevate certain groups, to exclude others, or to justify power and control. Teachings that should bring peace have instead brought fear. Messages meant to unite have been used to divide. This is where I believe the rupture begins. The rupture is not something happening outside of us—it is happening within us. It is a quiet but powerful awakening. A moment when we begin to question, to discern, and to see more clearly. A moment when we realize that our relationship with Christ does not need to be filtered through fear or manipulation. The rupture is the breaking away from distorted messages and the return to truth. It is understanding that we are all God’s children—not defined by borders, status, or labels. We are the “chosen” not because of where we are from, but because we are created in His image. The real struggle is not between one another. The real battle is within the human heart: between love and fear, compassion and hatred, truth and deception. Many speak of the end times, of apocalyptic events, of a final battle. But what if we are already living a form of this moment—not as a physical destruction, but as a spiritual turning point? What if “Armageddon” is unfolding within us, as humanity wrestles with its own values and direction? And what if the return of Jesus is not only something to wait for—but something to receive? Christ comes to us not through fear, but through awakening. He comes into our hearts, our minds, our daily choices. He reminds us of the original message—the one that has always been there: Love. Forgive. Understand. Care for one another. To receive this message, we must also let go. We must release the voices that preach hatred, exclusion, and superiority. We must question teachings that enrich a few while burdening many. We must reject anything that contradicts the essence of Christ’s love. This does not mean rejecting faith—it means reclaiming it. Jesus is not about power. Jesus is not about politics. Jesus is not about hate. Jesus is love. Jesus is forgiveness. Jesus is understanding. He is our spiritual, moral, and social guide. The rupture, then, is not an end—it is a beginning. It is the moment we return to what has always been true. It is the moment we allow Christ to live within us again, freely and fully. And perhaps, in that return, we will find not only faith—but peace.
