Jeremiah
18:18-20. Matt. 20:17-28
Let all who follow in the
way We lead and guide be
strong in Us when they meet
opposition and disdain.
The Father calls each child
of man to fellowship and
joyful service in His glorious
world. But some will always
use their personal and material
endowments for selfish and
self-serving ends - some
will follow wickedness and
perversity. This willed
perversity brings opposition
to the good and to those
committed to the search
of beauty, goodness and
integrity. And such opposition
inevitably brings suffering:
sometimes that suffering
falls on the one and many
beyond the initial cause
of it. And there is cumulative
suffering caused by the
aggregate of evil in the
one and in the many.
My life was offered for
the one and for the many
in the tremendous cause
of man's salvation. Through
My obedience to the Father,
My suffering, My death and
risen life, salvation is
the gift for all who will
accept it . All who identify
with My eternal offering
to the Father are one with
Us and in the fellowship
of vicarious suffering.
