Jesus said, "If a man serves Me he must follow Me. Wherever I am My servant will be there too ….And when I am lifted up I shall draw all men to Myself."
John 12:26, 32

Every one of the Father's beloved children who lives in Me has died to those things which I defeated through My death on the Cross. These are the deeds which the mind informs the heart to be sinful and destructive to the soul's well-being and also that separateness of thought and action which goes contrary to the Father's will. All who identify with My sacrifice, nailing their sinful, wilful nature to My Cross receive My life and power. There is no other way of progress and perfection than through My death and risen life, yet as I died for one so was My death for all and so My risen life.

And as each one is called to receive My crucified and risen life so is each called to share the cost of man's redemption in that which he is able to sustain. As each committed one identifies with My saving love so do the pains and sadnesses of life's encounters become one with My suffering and my saving love. This is his privilege and his reward: and as he shared My Cross so will he share the light ad joy for evermore of the Father's glorious Presence with all the redeemed and sanctified in Us.
