“As you will readily agree, Jesus was the greatest revealer of truth ever to live on Earth. Not that he has been the only one; there have been thousands of others, some in the present day, but he is the supreme example. He made the greatest sacrifice of all. He did it willingly, knowing what was coming, holding back his already-quickened vibration to the mortal level and allowing it to happen, all because of his great love for you.
Yes, Jesus loves you even as I do in spite of the fact that you are so hard to teach. The human side of the mind is very reluctant to unlearn the old and reach out for the new, even when the new is the very thing for which it has been yearning.
If this were not so, then the sacrifice made by Jesus would not have been necessary. He would not have had to die at all. He could merely have told you that, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, I expect you to be master over the elements, master over your body, in charge of every single cell so completely that you could resurrect it even though were in a state of decay. No, it was necessary to show that this is possible, and Jesus went through it willingly to show the world.
In spite of his loving sacrifice, many have missed the message. Jesus was the Son of God, you say, a man of virgin birth, and that makes him different. You are a mere mortal born of flesh and you could never be expected to do the impossible sort of things that the Son of God has done. It furnishes a perfect excuse for not trying. But if you do, you are letting the loving sacrifice of your greatest teacher go to waste. For you are just as surely a Son of God as Jesus is, the soul in each of you is a living part of Me.”
