A Bus Ride


A Bus Ride

              I was waiting at the bus stop. I was going to school. As usual, the bus stop was crowded with people from all walks of life.  There were office and factory workers going to their place of work. There were older women going to the market with their shopping baskets. Then, there were students like me who were on their way to school.

              In another ten minutes, the bus arrived. It already quite full but I managed to get in with other commuters, when the door closed, I was jammed against the door of the bus. The bus was filled to the brim and there was not even much breathing space. I felt stifled and through I would suffocate.

              At the next stop, some people got off and I was able to move inward. But this made my position even more precarious as more people got on and I found myself sandwiched between two very hug men with nothing to hold on to. As the bus stopped and moved at traffic lights, I would find myself helplessly bumping into others. I mumbled apologies whenever that happened. I could not even see where the bus was heading as my view as utterly blocked by the passengers surrounding me. But I did not worry as my school was near the bus interchange.

              A few stops before the bus interchange, people started getting of the bus and there were no passengers getting on. Soon, there were only a dozen passengers left and I even got a seat for the rest of the journey. When the bus reached the interchange, everyone got off and I slowly walked towards my school.

what is the old christinity religion?

History of Christianity: The Beginning of the Faith   History of Christianity -- how did it all start? Christianity started about 2000 years ago in Judea (present-day Israel) with Jesus Christ and His faithful group of disciples. During this period, Judea was a cross-cultural mecca of bustling cities and farms. The emperor of Rome was the ruler. The Jews at that time hated Roman rule -- it was but another reminder of the historical oppression they faced as a people. The polytheistic cultural beliefs of Rome were also pagan and intrusive to Jewish life. Some Jews saw that their only hope was to conform to this change. Others became religious zealots who formed pockets of guerilla resistance against Rome. Still others withdrew themselves into the Judean wilderness to study the Jewish law and wait for the eventual coming of their promised Messiah (savior).
