2228b Jesus Christ Bearer of Truth.... Apostle....

February 4, 1942: Book 31

They were to proclaim the pure truth to people, and so He promised them the working of His spirit. As soon as the spirit of God was able to express itself through the apostles, they inevitably proclaimed the pure truth, for it was no longer the apostles who spoke to people but God Himself, and thus Jesus Christ, Whose body and soul had united with the eternal deity, was still among them. The truth had emanated from God, it had been conveyed to earth through Jesus Christ, and it is still being conveyed to earth as soon as the spirit of God can work in a person who gives himself to God in deepest love, who affirms Jesus Christ and desires the power of the spirit. This is the living word that God imparts to people who believe in Him, love Him and keep His commandments.... It is the power that emanates from God and overflows into everyone who desires the truth for the sake of Christ. Christ, as the bearer of truth, was in intimate union with God, and so man must also unite himself with God in deepest intimacy if he wants to receive the truth from Him.... wants the spirit of God to descend upon him and guide him to the right realization. And thus he must become love, for in constant labour of love he draws closer to God and now shapes himself in such a way that the spirit of God can work in him and through him. This process is absolutely necessary in order to receive truth, thus only those people could teach and spread pure truth to whom truth flowed in this way, to whom the spirit from God imparted pure truth. However, there have always been people who claimed the right to teach but who themselves were not taught by God but took their knowledge from sources which had to be denied divine spiritual activity. Consequently, their teachings no longer corresponded to the pure truth and the teachers themselves were not accessible to any higher wisdom, for they did not accept the teachings from heaven when they were offered to them. And gradually, the teachings of Christ were completely distorted under humanity.... But since Jesus Christ is and will remain the bearer of truth for all eternity He time and again seeks access to people's hearts, and where He finds a receptive heart, a heart which subordinates itself to His will, which opens itself to His words, there He teaches again in the spirit of truth, there He tries to kindle the fervour of love, He tries to stimulate the will to eager activity of love and thus to shape the soul such that the spirit from God can become effective in it. And once again pure truth flows to people, for Jesus Christ Himself descends to earth in the word and reveals Himself to those who listen to Him, who love Him and desire His word....

Amen
