Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 45
Take Me off the Cross and Worship the Father
I am sharing these explanations with you to help you gain a deeper understanding of your environment, the creation, my role, and your place in it. Without this clarity, you will continue living in a way that brings pain and torment to your soul. I have told you, and I repeat again: “I am the path.” Yet, instead of walking that path, you continue to focus on my death on the cross. My desire is to free you from death, so that you can walk boldly with me on the living path, with no fear, knowing that I have risen and live.
I want the Father’s love and peace to reign in your hearts, instead of focusing on the vision of my death. You must build a life of love, not one filled with pain and anguish.
How can you explain the Father’s love to your children, or even experience it yourselves, when you are showing them an image of me suffering on the cross? A little child’s heart is filled with fear at such a sight. They don’t see love in someone suffering and shedding blood. A child sees love in the embrace of a parent, in words of encouragement and support.
Can a child, looking at me on the cross, exhausted and bleeding, feel in their heart that the Father loves me? Can they sense that the Father is embracing me, comforting me, helping me, and giving me strength? How many questions arise in a child’s mind when you tell them I died for people’s sins, even their own? How can they understand that they are born with sin and that I had to suffer for them? They may wonder where the loving Father was when I suffered so much.
It is true that the image of me on the cross instills fear in children. From an early age, they begin to hide from such a God, fearing that they too may suffer like I did. Instead of feeling love for God, they begin to fear Him more and more.
I came to reveal the concept of a loving Father to humanity and my entire universe. Not a Father who intimidates or punishes, but a Father who loves. Yet, you have misunderstood me, turning my message into one of suffering for all humanity. I did not teach you to display me suffering on the cross in public places. Where in the so-called holy scriptures did I tell you to do that? Did I ever teach that? No, I did not.
Why, then, do you do what I never taught? I taught you that God is the Father of all, and that all people are brothers and sisters. Yes, I did. But instead of following that teaching, you glorify me instead of the Father.
I did not teach you to glorify and worship me. So why do you constantly glorify me, rather than the Father? Even now, I worship the Father.
Now, I ask you to glorify only the Father. He is the one true God, and He is glorified by all creation, including myself. I am not God the Father. While the Father and I are one in spirit, we are still two distinct persons.
The time will come when, after your resurrection and spiritual growth, you will stand before me as an eternal spirit. At that time, we will part ways, and you will continue your journey beyond our universe, toward the Father on Paradise. Even then, you will glorify the Father, and throughout eternity, you will glorify only Him.
I am reminding you of my message that was proclaimed two thousand years ago: the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. This has now been expanded by my present-day apostles and disciples to encompass the brotherhood of all creation. I call on you to hear this message, follow it, and live it daily, realizing ever more deeply that we are all brothers and sisters. Our Father is one—the Universal Father, the First Source and Center. I am your elder brother, guiding you toward the Father.
Now is the time for you to experience the depth of my words and feel them within, along with the Father. I am always with you through my Spirit of Truth, poured out upon you. The Father is always within you, through His spirit, the Thought Adjuster, constantly guiding you from within.
I am always knocking at your heart from without, waiting for you to open it so that I may enter. When you do, the Father and I will begin to work within you. Together with the Holy Spirit—the spirit of my Partner, the Mother Spirit of the Universe—we guide you along the only true path: the path of inner faith. Faith is the way to the Father, and it is a living faith, not a ritualistic belief, that leads to salvation.
