Odrešenje je prišlo od zgoraj.... Koliko ust to izgovarja in kako pogosto srce ni ganjeno, v kolikor človeško bitje vsaj enkrat najresneje ne razmišlja o pomenu prihoda Jezusa Kristusa na Zemljo.
Rojen je bil otrok, čigar duša se je spustila iz kraljestva svetlobe, ker se je Bog želel utelesiti v tem otroku. Otrok Jezus je bil človeško bitje, rojen iz Marije device, katera Ga je spočela preko moči Duha.... Človeško bitje Jezus je začel Svoj zemeljski tok življenja kakor vsi ostali, pa vendarle stranski učinki Njegovega rojstva niso bili kakor pri navadni osebi, ampak so namigovali na to, da je nek izreden pokrov (telo) zakrival nenavadnega dečka.... da mora biti on pokrov za Večno Božanstvo, Katero Se je lahko učlovečilo samo v čistem in brezgrešnem človeškem bitju, kakršen je bil deček Jezus. On je moral izpeljati tako izredno pomembno poslanstvo, da so morale biti za to izredno pomembne tudi zahteve. Bog Osebno se namreč je želel nastaniti v otroku Jezusu in je za Sebe izbral brezgrešno formo, katera pa je obenem zakrivala tudi brezgrešno dušo, v kateri je Večno Božanstvo lahko prebivalo, da bi za celotno ljudsko raso uresničilo delo Odrešenja. To, da se je Bog Osebno spustil na Zemljo, je bilo delo ogromnega sočutja, ker je bila Zemlja prekrita z zelo globokim mrakom in tudi vsi njeni prebivalci so se zapletali v vse bolj globoko temo; niso več našli izhoda in klicali so Odrešenika, da jih osvobodi. Bog je slišal njihov klic in je na Zemljo poslal svojega Sina.... Bitje, Katero je ravno tako nastalo iz Njegove moči in Ljubezni, Katero pa je ostalo v Njegovem obilju svetlobe, ko so se Njegovi bratje pogreznili v temo. Jezusova duša je bila z neskončno Ljubeznijo privržena Bogu, vendar pa je ravno tako ljubila tudi svoje padle brate in jim je želela pomagati, da bi se vrnili v Očetovo Hišo, ker je vedela, da sta sreča in blaženost mogoča samo v Božji prisotnosti in da oddaljenost od Njega pomeni trpljenje, agonijo ter mrak.
Jezus je namreč vedel, da so Ga in pogoji in Njegova Ljubezen do revnih bitij motivirali, da Se(be) ponudi kot žrtev; da bi umaknil krivdo greha, katera je bila ogromna, katerega pa bitja, katera so postala grešna, ne bi bila nikoli sposobna sama popraviti (dati nadomestilo). Vendar pa se je čista in nedolžna duša želela žrtvovati za njihove grehe, da bi plačala za krivdo in zadovoljila Božjo pravičnost. Duša je bila Ljubezen.... ta Ljubezen pa je bila Bog (1 Janez 4:8, 16).... Bog oz. Ljubezen je prežela človeka Jezusa, tako da je On zaradi teh padli bratov želel narediti delo največjega trpljenja in agonije. In tako se je Bog Osebno v Jezusu spustil na Zemljo in vstopil v človeško formo, katera pa je ustrezala vsem predpogojem, da bi lahko zakrila Večno Božanstvo Osebno, brez da bi izginila.... Otrok Jezus je bil poln Ljubezni in vsa srca, katera so bila obsijana z Njegovimi žarki Ljubezni, so postala prežeta z Ljubeznijo; pela so in se zahvaljevala, ker so k jaslicam, kjer se je nahajal otrok, prišli samo tisti, katerih srca so bila čista in privržena Bogu, in kateri so glede na to čutili Ljubezen, katero je izžareval otrok, in kateri so prišli s prižgano gorečo Ljubeznijo do otroka Jezusa.
In četudi se dogodki, kateri so se dogajali v času Jezusovega rojstva, sedaj smatrajo samo za mit, pa vsakdo, kdor je izpolnjen z Božjim Duhom in kateri ima prebujen duh, ve, da je vse tisto, kar je bilo ohranjeno kot znanje o Jezusovem rojstvu, Resnica. Čudež za čudežem se je dogajal okoli samega otroka Jezusa v naravi, na Nebu in na Zemlji. In vsi angeli so s priklonjenimi glavami klečali pred Tistim, Kateri Se je utelesil v otroku Jezusu, kakor je tudi živali in ljudi zajelo najsvetejše strahospoštovanje ter molk v trenutku, ko se je dogajal največji čudež, Božje učlovečenje v Jezusu. In srce vsakogar, kdor ima prebujen duh, bo ravno tako prepričljivo izgovarjalo besede: »Odrešenje se je spustilo od zgoraj....«. Namreč svetloba Ljubezni Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa sije tudi na njega; on pripada tistim, zaradi katerih je Odrešenik prišel na Zemljo, da bi jih (od)rešil. On pripada odrešenim, za katere je bilo na Križu uresničeno delo usmiljenja, ker je želel biti odrešen greha in smrti. In on Jezusovega rojstva ne bo častil samo z izpraznjenimi besedami; on bo s svojim srcem mislil o vsem, kar se je zgodilo v tej noči, ko se je svetloba sveta spustila dol na Zemljo, ko je otrok Jezus prišel na svet. In pridružil se bo petju himne hvaljenja: »Slava Bogu na višavah in na Zemlji mir ljudem, ki so dobre volje.« (Luka 2:14).

PrevajalciSalvation has come from above.... How many lips utter this and how often is the heart unaffected, insofar as that the human being not even once seriously reflects on the meaning of Jesus Christ's coming down to earth. A child was born, Whose soul descended from the kingdom of light because God wanted to embody Himself in this infant. The infant Jesus was a human being, born to Mary, the virgin, who conceived him through the strength of the spirit.... The human being Jesus started His earthly course of life like everyone else, yet the side effects of His birth were not those of an ordinary person but they indicated that an exceptional cover also sheltered an exceptional boy child.... that it should be the cover for the Eternal Deity Which was only able to manifest Itself in a pure and sinless human being, as was the boy child Jesus. For He had to carry out a mission of such immense significance that the requirements for it also had to be exceptional. God Himself wanted to take abode in the infant Jesus and chose for Himself an immaculate form which also harboured an immaculate soul, in which the Eternal Deity was able to dwell in order to accomplish the act of Salvation for the whole of the human race. The fact that God Himself descended to earth was an act of overwhelming compassion, for Earth was covered in profound darkness and all its inhabitants too, they were controlled and gagged by the prince of darkness and languished under the pressure of slavery in sin and agony. And God knew the hardship of His living creations which once had voluntarily separated themselves from Him and, entangling themselves in ever deeper darkness, no longer found a way out and cried for a Saviour to liberate them. God heard their cry and sent His Son to earth.... a Being Which likewise emerged from His might and love and Which remained in His abundance of light when His brothers plunged themselves into the darkness. Jesus' soul was devoted to God with boundless love but it also loved its fallen brothers and wanted to help them return into the Father's house because it knew that happiness and bliss are only possible in God's presence and that the distance from Him meant hardship, agony and darkness.
Jesus knew both conditions and His love for the wretched being motivated Him to offer Himself as a sacrifice in order to remove the guilt of sin which was immense, and the beings which became sinful would never have been able to make
Amends for it themselves. Yet a pure and blameless soul wanted to sacrifice itself for their sins in order to redeem the guilt and to satisfy God's righteousness. For the soul was love.... And this love was God.... God or love permeated the man Jesus, so that He wanted to accomplish an act of greatest suffering and agony for the sake of these fallen brothers. And thus God Himself descended to earth in Jesus and entered a human form which corresponded to all preconditions in order to shelter the Eternal Deity Himself without fading away.... The infant Jesus was full of love and all hearts entering His ray of love became permeated by love, singing praise and giving thanks, for only people came to the infant's manger whose hearts were pure and devoted to God and who therefore felt the love emanated by the infant and who came aglow with burning love for the Jesus child. Although the events surrounding Jesus' birth are now only regarded a myth, anyone who is filled by the spirit of God, whose spirit is awakened, knows that everything which has been preserved as knowledge about the birth of Jesus is the truth. Miracles upon miracles happened around the child Itself, in nature, in Heaven and on Earth, and all the angles bowed down on bended knees before the One Who had embodied Himself in the infant Jesus, just as men and animals were seized by holiest awe and silence when the greatest wonder, God's human manifestation in Jesus, was taking place. And the heart of anyone with an awakened spirit will also convincingly speak the Words 'Salvation has come from above....' For the light of love of the Saviour Jesus Christ likewise shines on him, he belongs to those for whom the Saviour came to earth to save them, he belongs to the redeemed, for whom the act of compassion on the cross was accomplished, because he wanted to become redeemed from sin and death. And he will not just pay lip service to the birth of Christ, with his heart he will think of everything that happened during that night when the light of the world came down to earth, when the infant Jesus came into the world. And he will join in singing the hymn of praise 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will....'
Amen
