6430 The love work of the man Jesus....

December 20, 1955: Book 69

Unique is the work of love which the man Jesus accomplished for you.... A soul of light descended to earth and consciously walked the path as a human being in order to fight against the one who had already brought down your brothers and whom you wanted to defeat.... And the path was hard and bitter, it was the path of suffering of a human being who wanted to atone for a great guilt for His fellow human beings. What the soul brought with it from on high to this earth was an abundance of love for God and for people.... He had abundantly what the fallen souls lacked, yet through their own fault.... For they had rejected God's radiance of love, but the soul of the man Jesus constantly desired the father's love, and therefore this love also continued to radiate to it.... And therefore His love seized the unhappy brothers and wanted to help them up from the abyss. The soul of Jesus, the man, was also in constant contact with the eternal love through its love, it allowed itself to be filled by it.... Eternal love itself took abode in the soul of the man Jesus, and thus God became man.... And the man Jesus now accomplished the work of redemption for fallen mankind because His completely fulfilling love moved Him to do so and because it gave Him the strength to accomplish that which brought redemption to humanity: to suffer and die in extreme agony.... Humanity was in great distress, for God's adversary held them captive and they themselves could not free themselves from him.... Therefore the eternal love descended to earth in the soul of the man Jesus and loosed the bondage by offering a ransom sacrifice to the one who held it captive.... Himself.... His life as a human being.... Love moved the man Jesus to take upon Himself an exceedingly agonizing sacrificial death in order to free the souls of people from that power. It was truly a work of love without equal, for it was a battle of light against darkness, love.... the eternal deity.... confronted Itself to Its adversary, and It defeated him.... And this great work of mercy was accomplished by a human being because He was supposed to prove to God's adversary that love is stronger than hatred.... It was not God's power that led the battle but His love, and therefore the sacrifice was made by a weak human being to whom the love dwelling in Him gave the strength to take on everything difficult.... And thus love was the driving force which also had to win the victory because nothing can resist it, because God Himself had taken on Jesus' human shell, Who was full of love, and God Himself truly had to be victorious over His enemy. Yet He wanted humanity to take note of the battle against the enemy.... He wanted the act of salvation to remain an unforgettable event for humanity.... He wanted the name of Him who accomplished it to never fade away again.... And therefore the act of salvation also took place in a form which is and will remain unforgettable, for Jesus' death on the cross cannot be denied, and as long as the world exists the divine redeemer will be mentioned by those who believe.... because it was not only an external process of the 'crucifixion of a human being', but the 'outpouring of the spirit' made possible by this work of redemption also proves the redemption from God's adversary.... and the spirit of God will now also work again in a redemptive sense. For the adversary of God plunged the souls into darkness, but the spirit of God leads them to the light again.... The spirit of God is the sign, the proof of redemption from darkness, but it can only fulfil the human being through the death of the man Jesus on the cross, because before that the guilt of sin made it impossible for it to work.... The spirit of God will always proclaim the work of love and mercy of the man Jesus, in Whom God embodied Himself in order to redeem people....

Amen
