Numbers 20:1-13. Matthew 11:13-23

The Father calls each one of His beloved sons and daughters to knowledge and acceptance of His Presence and to faithfulness to His leading. As he calls the one so does He call the many, and he invites them, each and all, to fellowship and to service in The Way. And He provides all that is necessary in the going and for both growth and progress in individual and community as His will and loving purpose is sought and obeyed.

I, who issued from the Father’s love in the beginning, before time was, shared with Him the creation and the re-creation of all that is or was or ever shall be. In time I entered in the world of men: I lived a human life revealing the will and loving purpose of the Father in My life and teaching. Through My death and risen life I offer the fruits of My redemption to the sons and daughters of the Father in the grace and power of my indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.
