7426 The light descended to earth....

October 11, 1959: Book 78

When I walked across the earth, embodied in the man Jesus, it was dark on it and people were spiritually blind, for they no longer recognized their God and creator, they lacked the love which would have given them light and understanding.... They walked along in dense darkness.... But there were people amongst them who were tormented by their lightless state, who still believed in a God and called upon Him for salvation from the darkness.... so they cried out to Me for help.... And to them I sent the saviour from above, I sent Him to them Who Himself was the light from eternity and Who thus brought them the light: I Myself descended to earth in the human being Jesus, because the lightbringer could only be a human being Who maintained constant contact with His fellow human beings. I Myself was in Him, for the light of love from eternity was in the human being Jesus, Who Himself was a being full of love and could only serve Me as a dwelling place because I had to remain in My kingdom even when I came to sinful people. Yet Jesus had prepared the place for Me where I could dwell.... For His whole being was love, and I came to Him and yet was in My house, for love received eternal love. I embodied Myself in the man Jesus.... You humans will not be able to comprehend this truth for a long time, that I.... the greatest spirit of infinity.... manifested Myself in a human being Who was like you, Who could only be a true dwelling place for Me in all purity, devoid of all sin, in Whom My spirit thus took abode. I did not need a cover because My spirit was and could be everywhere; but for the sake of the act of salvation I had to take a 'human being' as a cover for Myself, Who then accomplished the act of salvation for His fellow human beings. The cover was 'human', what this cover contained was 'God'.... I Myself was in the human being Jesus, Who was full of love and thus had completely entered My fundamental nature, Who was completely filled by My spirit of God, Whose external form was truly only the shell in which the eternal spirit of God sheltered. And this spirit was the light of eternity.... And thus the light Itself came to earth to chase away the darkness which lay spread over the people of the earth.... I brought help to the few who cried out for a saviour in their spiritual hardship, for in Jesus Christ I Myself descended to earth to bring light to My living creations and to proclaim My teaching of love to them, which alone could bring them light if they fulfilled the commandments of love. For love is light, love spreads brightness, it illuminates every angle, no matter how dark.... And a life of love must be lived if the light of knowledge is to shine for the human being, if the darkness is to depart from him and the human being is to approach God, Who Himself is the light of eternity. And thus I always take pity on the human race which lives through earthly life in spiritual darkness, and again and again I come to its aid by sending it light.... by descending to it Myself in the word. My word from above spreads the light which people lack, My word from above gives them realization, My word transforms spiritual darkness into bright light, and people will feel at ease who allow this light to affect them; they will become knowledgeable and also understand that they must turn to the light of eternity Itself if they want to have the grace to walk in light on this earth, for I will always hear every call from the abyss which desires a saviour from darkness.... I will not forgive coming to the aid of those who suffer from darkness and desire light.... I will come to people in the word at any time, as I once descended to earth Myself, for I want to help My creations to ascend from darkness to light, I want to lead them out of the night into the light....

Amen
