Jesus said,
"The Son of Man must be lifted
up as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness so that everyone
who believes may have eternal life"
John
3:14
I am the salvation of all that
is on the face of the earth. To
this end have I lived and died on
earth. For this has the Father raised
Me; not only to take My place at
His right hand in the joy and glory
of His Presence, but also to offer
the fruits of My saving love to
the children of His love.
And all that is needed to further
this process of My victorious life
and death and resurrection in each
and every one is a reaching out
in hope and faith and love for the
gift of My redeeming love - not
once but many times. In the first
instance there is the turning from
the self-centredness and self-sufficiency
of the natural self, and then the
constant return to that centre of
self-giving as circumstance requires.
And all must die to self who would
live in Me and come to their soul's
perfection. "For God sent His
Son into the world ….. so
that through Him the world might
be saved."
