Tuesday, April 17th
Jesus opened
the Disciples minds to understand
the Scriptures, and He said to them,
"You see how it is written that
the Christ would suffer and the third
day rise again, and that in His Name
repentance for the forgiveness of
sins would be preached to all the
nations."
Luke
24:44-49
By My death I have opened the gates
of eternal life for all people of
all times, of all nations and all
faiths. By My resurrection I have
made freely and universally available
that life which was inevitably withheld
until the key of My self-giving
had been turned in the lock of the
gate of death.
Yet My work of salvation is incomplete
and unfulfilled until the knowledge
and understanding of My life's work
and the triumph of My death and
resurrection is presented to all
men and women in the Father's world.
For to be effective, My death must
challenge repentance, My resurrection
to new life in the spirit of My
self-giving love.
And this is My continuing work
in the hearts and minds and lives
of My committed ones. Those who
have seen and understood, who have
availed themselves of the power
and the grace of My death and resurrection,
and who walk in the light of it
are graciously invited to become
the means through whom I draw all
men to Me through the power and
grace of My Indwelling.
