Though no theologian, Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson picked up the same idea. He writes, “Merging Zen and Christianity allowed me to reconnect with my spiritual core and begin to integrate my heart and mind. The more I learned about the similarities between the two religions, the more compatible they seemed. Was Christ a Zen master? That may be a stretch, but clearly he was practicing some form of meditation when he separated himself from his disciples and became one with ‘the Father.’” Of course, Christ did not “become one with the Father”; He is one with the Father from eternity past to eternity future. In prophesying the birth of the Messiah, Isaiah declared that it was “the mighty God, the everlasting Father” (Isaiah:9:6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
See All...) who would be born into the world.
