Chapter 138:
The Ministry
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HAVE MEN besought me long, wondering at the truth of that which hath been manifest within me?
2. Hear me tell it, that I was baptized, even as the others, that all men should know the pattern of the cleansing, that the heart hath found its mission.
3. Being of age and permitted to speak in the temple after the manner of the Hebrews, I did step forth when the Sabbath day had come and say unto those about me,
4. Behold I have a message for you that cometh from strange sources. I have heard voices not of the earth, yet I know of their meaning, I bring unto you this truth: Except ye become as little children, your heads shall know no resting-place upon the bosom of eternity!
5. Then did they rebuke me, then did they cry, Behold the carpenter's son hath a devil! let us cast it out with prayer!
6. But I had no devil; I was spoken of the spirit.
7. Three years I labored, three years I suffered mis- understandings, three years I knew wanderings, three years I said unto men:
8. Leave your errors, establish truth, cultivate the powers within yourselves and hear the whisperings of the Host, even as I heard plainly, night unto night, day unto day, hour unto hour.
9. They did marvel at first, they gave me an audience; behold they told a countryside that I was Elias;
10. But ye, my beloved, know differently from them. Were not some among you with me? Did not some of you say, Master, we know that thou are the holy one?
11. Yea verily, and we did make a pact that when the latter days were come, when I was no more physically, ye shouldst come back, flesh after flesh, life after life, even as ye didst see me come and go, interpreting unto men the answer, What is Truth?
12. Whereof was it said that I made the prophecy, Verily there are those among you who shall not taste of death until I come again.
13. Have ye tasted it, beloved?
14. Ye know that ye have not.
15. There have been periods in flesh, there have been interludes in Thought. Have these been death?
16. Ye know that which ye have witnessed.
17. Behold the body is cast off as a garment, but what of the coat that weareth forever? is it not abomination? doth the wearer die, that the coat is removed or hung in a closet?
18. Some of you heard me physically, with senses of body; some of you did hear me as my counselors in spirit; ye did say unto me,
19. Master, we love Thee for Thy sacrifice in flesh, for verily the moment groweth with time that agony cometh, at the end spirit wracketh and body teareth;
20. We preserve Thee unto the ages, preaching when Thou hast passed.
21. So I came, and was, and will be, world without end; and this pact made ye, knowing well that suffering was entailed in it.
22. But each time that ye went into and out of flesh, ye had a greater urge than ye had before.
23. We stood as on a mountain-height together and watched the hordes of men climbing, climbing; we saw them grow brighter in their essence, a spark of divinity within each one fanning into flame.
24. Lo, that was the signal that we were succeeding.
25. Verily our mission had come into reality of concept in the hearts and minds and souls of worldly brethren; ye do sit this hour in flesh and listen to my words, in the year that is of your earthly calendar.
26. I say that ye have come and gone many times in your flesh, beloved, even as I have told you; ye have come and gone courting righteousness in every generation, bringing righteousness, preserving righteousness, enhancing righteousness, making it to shine as a radiant garment upon the body of humanity.
27. Thus do I preach unto you, having my purpose. This is my purpose. . . .
