Jesus said,
"Was it not ordained that the
Christ
should suffer and so enter into His
glory?"
Luke
24:25
Joy is the reward of all who faithfully
pursue the Father's will and loving
purpose - as I have shown and as
the Scriptures testify. But as each
child of man is free to choose his
path, so is the consequence. And
he who chooses sin and waywardness
so does he reap sin's reward, thus
alienating from joy and progress
in eternal ife both himself and
those whom he involves in his perversity.
But I have borne the griefs and
sorrows of the Father's world, taking
consequence of sin upon My shoulders,
bearing the wounded in My heart
for their redemption if they will
only offer all to Me. And here is
joy, even in the suffering; and
there is glory too, for the Father's
love is vindicated and triumphant
through my obedient, suffering love.
And I invite My faithful followers
to identify with this great cosmic
circumstance of joy and suffering
and redemption as it is offered
in life's way according to the Father's
will and loving purpose. Above all.
Let each one seek the way of faithfulness
and follow it.
