Jesus
said, "If they do this
in the green wood when the
wood is green, what will they
do when it is dry ?"
Luke 23:31. …………….…and
darkness came over the whole
land and the veil of the Temple
was torn in two
Luke
23:44
Let My followers never
expect or look for an easy
acceptance of My word :
My attempts, through them,
to establish the Father's
Kingdom on earth will be
fraught with difficulties,
often bedevilled with evil
from the powers which seek
to destroy. Why should My
followers expect a different
fate from that of their
Leader ? The better the
good to be established the
harder will be he fight
from hostile forces. And
the ignorant and uncommitted
will align themselves with
the forces of destruction.
But the victory has been
won ! I have overcome the
world. By My cross and passion
there is salvation for all
who reach out to take it
and who allow My love and
my life to grow and prosper
in them and beyond them
to the world the Father
created and is constantly
creating.
Those who persecuted Me
even to the shades of death
did not see the Son of Man
, the Incarnate Lord, The
Beloved of the Father :
they saw only the hounding
to death of an innocent
man who had taught and loved
and healed. The participation
of the uncommitted in persecution
is the reaction of all who,
seeing good under judgement
and persecution, destroy
their conscience and share
in that which is being done
in the hope of burying it.
The veil of the Temple
was destroyed at My death.
The separation caused by
sin was also rent, and I
gained, through this reward
of my death, perpetual access
to my endangered children
of all times.
