Crusades is a famous
word and as a gamer and a movie fanatic this word always appear. The medieval movies
that crusaders appear and even in games. I learned that Crusades is not a game
or just a mere movie. The main purpose of crusade is Christians wanted to gain
control of the Holy Land Israel and had a profound economic, political, and
social impact on the societies involved. And also to take Jerusalem, the Holy
Land away from Muslims. They are doing crusades thinking that this is the will
of God.
I learned that Crusade
did not happen once but many times. There is this crusade that they used
peasants. They traveled for months and this people survived because their body
is used to taking the heat of the sun and survival. But they were defeated
because this people doesn’t have a battle experience. Also there this Crusade
that they used children to go and attack Jerusalem in the purpose of claiming
back the Holy City. This is the brutal side of Crusade that people is killing
other people in the name of Jesus and for the Church.
There are instances that I thought I
am in the will of God but it’s just the opposite. I need to be sensitive in the
call of God. Sensitive in the direction that God wants me to go or he wanted me
to detour the path that I am following. For maybe the path does not already
glorifying Him, for this is the purpose of my life.
