John
16
Light came into the world and evil
in the sons of men has tried its
evil best to extinguish it. Love
comes continually to men: in time
Incarnate Love entered the world
He made for joy and for perfection.
Where light has been extinguished
love is opposed and threatened.
But Love has triumphed through self-giving
to that absolute which is the Father's
will and loving purpose. And so
the light is perpetually available.
For every child of man who earnestly
and constantly seeks it. And the
reward is life eternal in the power
of My love.
My suffering and my death made
possible the victory over sin and
death for everyman. But as I, the
Son of Man, the Father's beloved
Son, brought life through death
and suffering so must My faithful
followers follow in the way. But
I have trod the way before them
and I am one with each one at every
step along the way.
The Father loves each one in whom
I dwell, and I present to Him all
who identify in all I seek to do
in this, His world, according to
His will and loving purpose. And
all who identify in suffering love
will at the last rejoice in the
glory of His Presence.
