Jesus said, "Anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave , just as the Son of Man came not to be serve but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many"
Matthew 20:28

The Son of Man lived and died in loving obedience to His Heavenly Father. In Him dwelt the fullness of love and joy : He was and is Love and Joy, and His mission is unfulfilled until every one of the Father's children who seek The Way, however falteringly and uncertainly, is gathered in.

In this cosmic work each of the committed in love to the Father and to their fellowmen is enjoined in and through the saving grace of the Son of Man and in the power and light of the Holy Spirit. And the way is in obedience and trust as to the Father and service and self-giving to those near and far, as guidance is given. The successful, fulfilled life is that which shows utter commitment to the Heavenly Father and generous selflessness in day to day living. This is the open secret of the children of light : they yearn to share it with all their fellowmen and women But many are incapable by reason of self-centred living, unwillingness to subject the mind to openness in things of the spirit , and some few because of their commitment to perverse ways. Be as the Son of Man in all things possible, not least in humility and service.
