Jesus
said, "Search the Scriptures,
for in them ye think ye have
life ; and they are they which
testify of Me . And ye will
not come to Me that ye might
have life
John
5:39
Two thousand years have
passed since the time of
My incarnate days. They
were days of quiet waiting
upon the Father in prayer
and self-giving, in teaching
and healing outreach, in
community of leadership
learning, in sadness and
suffering, and rejoicing.
The days were recognised
after My death and resurrection
as a time when the Father
had visited His children
through the loving obedience
and ministry of His Son.
Some have sought to ignore
, others to put out the
light which revealed the
pain of truth as well as
the joy of hope and fulfilment.
Many have yielded to apathy
and the joylessness of the
partly-living. But some
have allowed Me to be ossified
in the Scriptures which
bear witness to My life
and ministry, even as the
hostile leaders of the nation
of the Jews in My incarnate
life. They seek the living
word in the context of a
dead teacher and leader
, not looking for my living
Presence to inform the reading
and inspire the understanding
with the Spirit of Presence.
All Scriptures are given
for information and guide,
and not all are for leading
to the Summit of Presence
. They are as a map, outlining
and illumining the way.
And I am at the side of
each and every one in all
faiths and at all stages,
seeking to illuminate the
way and to lead to embarking
on it and new stages on
the way. The way is in and
through My living Presence
and issues in deeper knowledge
and understanding of that
way in the service of the
Father.
