Preserved Proudly

From author and professor Susan Muaddi Darraj, re-posted from social media.

I wish American Christians who are cheering Israel’s actions in Palestine and Lebanon could attend a Lebanese Maronite Church and hear the prayers read in Aramaic.

That was the language spoken by Jesus, and it is preserved proudly by these ancient Arab Christian communities.

They won’t recognize the language as Jesus’ language though, just as I cannot recognize their actions and thoughts as anything remotely resembling Christianity.
