8065 The Messiah came to the world....

December 19, 1961: Book 85

How dark was the world when I descended to earth.... Only rarely did a light shine, only rarely were the people in whom a light of love was kindled, and they recognized the great adversity and called for a saviour Who should redeem the world from sin and death. For they had received the knowledge that the Messiah was to come to bring salvation to people, and they waited for this Messiah, for they had been informed by prophets of His appearance in this world. And this prayer of the few I heard.... I Myself descended to earth because the prophecies were to be fulfilled and because the need was so great that one had to come as saviour and redeemer of the world.... And I emanated My light, I let My love radiate upon all people, and those who stayed within My flow of love were truly filled by the light of love themselves, and they recognized Me as the Messiah Who was to redeem the world from sin and death. Where darkness is, there My adversary has supremacy, and he truly rages amongst humanity in order to corrupt it.... But I came into this world as a brightly shining light and illuminated his activity, so that he was recognized as satan and corrupter by those who desired to walk in the light, who kindled love within themselves and who therefore were willing listeners when I proclaimed My word to them: My divine teaching of love, the fulfilment of which alone meant salvation for humanity from its spiritual adversity.... The light itself descended to earth.... Love embodied itself in a human being Who prepared itself as a vessel for the divine light of love from eternity.... I took on flesh because I Myself, as an inexhaustible source of strength, had to choose a cover for Myself in order to be able to dwell amongst you humans who would have passed away if My immeasurable abundance of light and strength had shone upon you.... if I had met you unveiled. And so a soul of light offered itself.... an angelic spirit called into being by Me.... to animate this human outer form and thus to prepare a vessel for Me into which My strength of love could now pour.... so that I Myself could dwell among you humans in this human outer shell, so that you could now receive from My light of love what you desired when darkness oppressed you humans and you wanted to chase it away through the light.... which shone forth from Me Myself to you and illuminated the dark night.... I lived as the "man Jesus" in the midst of you humans.... I had therefore descended to earth because I wanted to bring help to you humans in greatest spiritual need.... I wanted to release you from the power of the one you once voluntarily followed into the abyss and from whom you alone were unable to escape. This is why I Myself came to earth as saviour, for I accomplished the act of salvation for you in the human being Jesus.... Through My crucifixion I redeemed the guilt which kept you distant from Me and which first had to find its just atonement if I wanted to receive you into My kingdom again, if you wanted to dwell in the light again as in the beginning.... The light descended into darkness.... A being of light had to come to earth in Whom the eternal light could manifest Itself.... A human shell had to receive a soul of light, which then prepared its body for Me so that it would not perish when I Myself took up residence in this human form.... For I Myself was the power of love Which emanated Itself into infinity but Which needed an external cover as long as It dwelled amongst you humans who had renounced all light. But I was only recognized by a few because a spark of love still glowed in them which pushed towards Me and they were also lifted out of the darkness. But first the act of salvation had to be accomplished, the original sin had to be redeemed, the purchase price had to be paid for the souls which were still under My adversary's control who did not want to release them. And the man Jesus walked a difficult earthly path.... He prepared Himself to become My dwelling place and to receive Me into Himself. And thus His whole way of life was only a change of love, because love intimately united Him with Me and caused Me to take abode in Him.... And thus His greater than great love offered Me a sacrifice for His fallen brothers.... He took their guilt upon Himself and went with it to the cross.... He suffered and died in terrible agony and endured by virtue of His great love.... For He had received Me Himself, He had completely united Himself with Me, He Himself had become love, which is My primal element, so that I Myself thus accomplished the work of redemption in the man Jesus....

(19.12.1961) And I redeemed you from sin and death, I restored you to the state which existed before your fall into sin.... yet I make it dependent on your will to acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and to believe that you will find salvation. I shone down on this earth as a bright light, and in this light humanity was now able to recognize the path it had to take in order to return to Me again, into the father's house. In the darkness before people did not find the way and therefore they constantly walked astray, they were in the realm of My adversary and knew no path which led out into My kingdom. I Myself first had to open up this path for you, on which you can now all follow Me, and that is why I descended to earth, that is why I put on flesh and offered the most difficult sacrifice for you in the human being Jesus.... I have lit a light that will never go out again, for the work of redemption has been accomplished for all time.... again and again the path to the cross will be the path for people which leads back to Me, into My kingdom.... And again and again you humans will be pointed to the one Who died for you on the cross.... the great love of the man Jesus will always be presented to you as the 'path of discipleship', and you will truly also walk in the light because you kindle it within yourselves as soon as you fulfil His commandments of love.... as well as you connect yourselves with Me Myself through love.... For you will have overcome darkness, you will be free from your enemy and adversary, you will return to the father again from Whom you once came forth....

Amen
