Following Jesus....

There is only one path that leads to eternal life and to union with God.... the path via Jesus Christ, and anyone who rejects Christ will never be able to enter through the gates of heaven to eternal bliss. Man must walk the same path that Jesus walked on earth, the path of love and suffering, for only through love can he redeem himself and reduce the guilt of sin through suffering. And in order to be able to do this, the graces acquired through Jesus' death on the cross must be imparted to him, which he in turn can only receive if he recognizes Jesus Christ as redeemer and son of God. He must have faith in the divine saviour.... he must believe that God Himself sent Him to earth in order to be able to take up residence in Him in all fullness.... he must believe that divine love itself has descended to people, and only then does he prove his faith in God when he recognizes the act of salvation as an act of the greatest love for people and wants to share in the blessing of the act of salvation. Jesus says: "No one comes to the father except through Me...." Jesus does not speak these words as a human being, but they are to be understood spiritually. He Himself was pure love, and therefore man must mould himself into love in order to be united with the father, Who is love Himself. But if the human being is in love, then he will also recognize that Jesus Christ is also the epitome of the eternal deity. He will no longer be able to separate Christ from God, and thus love will be the only way to reach God. However, if a person does not recognize Christ, he can never think correctly. And even if he wants to affirm God, this is not a deep faith that separates God and Christ. He has a false concept of the eternal deity. Christian doctrine prescribes the two most important commandments: You shall love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself. In order to fulfil this commandment, He Himself must be love, and thus He must walk the same path that Jesus walked on earth; He must distribute love on all His paths through life, and since God is love Himself, He draws the eternal deity to Himself through every work of love, thus He unites Himself with It, and the same thing then takes place that caused Jesus to say: "The father and I are (‚are‘ was overwritten by ‚is‘ ed.) one...." He likewise united Himself with God through His greater than great love, so that He could utter these words with full justification, for His being was completely permeated by the divine spirit, thus the father was.... the eternal deity.... in the son, in that which had emanated from Him, and could no longer be eternally separated from each other. And this merging with the elemental force will always be the result of intimate love for God and for people, thus love is the path that leads to God. The work of redemption was the greatest work of love by a human being for the whole of humanity. Anyone who does not recognize this must be devoid of all love, otherwise he would want to recognize the connection most clearly and all doubt about the divinity of Jesus would disappear. Without love, however, the path to ascent can never be travelled, for then the human being does not follow Jesus; he does not belong to those who were redeemed by His death on the cross and is therefore lost for eternity....

Amen

HODITI ZA JEZUSOM....

Obstaja samo ena pot, ki vodi v večno življenje in k združitvi z Bogom.... pot preko Jezusa Kristusa. In kdor Kristusa zavrača, ne bo mogel nikoli vstopiti skozi vrata neba v večno blaženost. Človek mora hoditi po enaki poti, po kateri je hodil Jezus na Zemlji, po poti Ljubezni in trpljenja, ker se on lahko (od)reši edino preko Ljubezni in preko trpljenja zmanjša krivdo greha. Da pa bi to lahko naredil, mu mora biti prenesena milost, katero je Jezus dosegel s smrtjo na Križu in katero on lahko ponovno prejme šele takrat, ko on prizna Jezusa Kristusa kot Odrešenika in Božjega Sina. On mora imeti vero v Božanskega Odrešenika.... mora verjeti, da Ga je Sam Bog poslal na Zemljo, da se je potem lahko nastanil v Njem v vsej polnosti.... on mora verjeti, da se je Sama Božanska Ljubezen spustila dol k ljudem. In on dokazuje vero v Boga edino tedaj, ko prizna delo odrešenja kot delo največje Ljubezni do ljudi in želi imeti delež v blagoslovu dela odrešenja. Jezus je delal: »Nihče ne pride k Očetu drugače kot po Meni....« (Janez 14:6). Jezus teh besed ni izgovoril kot človek, ampak je te besede potrebno razumeti duhovno. On Osebno je bil čista Ljubezen, in zato se mora človek oblikovati v Ljubezen, da bi bil združen z Očetom, Ki je Sama Ljubezen. Torej ko je človek v Ljubezni, bo obenem tudi prepoznal, da je Jezus Kristus utelešenje (pojem, namen, celota, poosebitev, vsebina) večnega Božanstva. On ne bo več mogel razdvojiti Kristusa in Boga, zaradi česar bo Ljubezen edina pot (način), da pride do Boga. Toda če človek ne prizna Kristusa, potem on ne more nikoli pravilno razmišljati. In četudi on želi Boga potrditi, pa to ni globoka vera, ki Boga in Kristusa razdvaja enega od drugega. On si je za večno Božanstvo ustvaril zavajajoč pojem. Krščanska doktrina kot najpomembnejšo stvar predpisuje dve zapovedi: ljubi Boga iznad vsega in bližnjega kot samega sebe (Matej 22:36-40; Marko 12:28-31). Da pa bi lahko izpolnil to zapoved, mora biti on sam Ljubezen in mora hoditi po enaki poti, po kateri je Jezus hodil na Zemlji. On mora na vseh svojih življenjskih poteh deliti (dajati) Ljubezen. Ker pa je Bog Sama Ljubezen, on z vsakim delom Ljubezni k sebi privlači večno Božanstvo, ker se tako združuje z njim. In potem se odvija isto to, kar je Jezus navedel z Besedami: »Oče in Jaz sva eno....« (Janez 10:30). On se je namreč na enak način zedinil z Bogom preko Njegove ogromne Ljubezni, tako da je lahko s polno pravico izgovoril te Besede. Njegovo bitje je bilo popolnoma prežeto z Božanskim Duhom, zato je bil Oče.... večno Božanstvo.... v Sinu, v Tistemu, Ki je nastal iz Njega, in za večnost nista mogla biti več razdvojena eden od drugega. Vendar pa bo ta združitev z izvorno močjo vedno posledica iskrene Ljubezni do Boga in do ljudi, zaradi česar je ljubezen pot, ki vodi do Boga. Delo Odrešenja je bilo največje delo Ljubezni nekega človeka za celotno človeštvo. Kdor tega ne prepozna (prizna), je brez vsakršne Ljubezni, ker bi drugače moral on jasno prepoznati vezo, in izginil bi vsakršen dvom glede Jezusove Božanstvenosti. Namreč pot proti navzgor ne bo mogla biti nikoli premagana brez Ljubezni, ker potem človek ne hodi za Jezusom; on ne pripada tistim, ki so bili preko Njegove smrti na Križu odkupljeni, zaradi česar pa ostaja izgubljen za vekomaj.

AMEN
