THE GREATEST MESSAGE EVER BROUGHT TO OUR PLANET
What was the real message of Jesus? What do you think was the one unforgivable thing that He taught which brought down the wrath of the Jews upon his head?
What one thing did he add to the teachings of the laws that changed the whole current of History?
It wasn't the doctrine of One God nor the idea of loving one's neighbors and forgiving one's enemies. No, that wasn't why the then Rulers, Pharisees and Sadducees hated him so much so that they resolved to take have his blood.
WHAT THEN COULD HAVE BEEN THE MESSAGE?
It was because he revealed that all men are equally the children of God.
Can you imagine what this meant to mankind in the day of slavery and oppression? Think about!
If God is the Father of All men, then All men are his children, equally entitled to the good things of life. So we are all EQUALLY dear to him.
You see, the rulers then recognized the logical implications of such teaching.
This was the message of Jesus as explained by Barton,
That God is supremely better than anybody had ever dared to believe. Not a petulant Creator, Who has lost control of his creation and in wrath was determined to destroy it. Not a stern Judge dispensing impersonal Justice. Not a vain King who must be flattered and bribed into concessions of mercy. Not a rigid Accountant, checking up the sins against the penance and stricking a cold hard balance. Not any of these....... Nothing like these.... But That God is a great companion, a wonderful friend, a kindly, indulgent, Joy loving Father.
Hold your heads high he exclaimed.... You're lords of the Universe..... Children of the most High God.
Jesus revealed Man to himself. Thirty-seven times in the Gospel, He refers to himself as the son of man. He never called himself God but he claimed oneness with God
What was the message of Jesus? The greatest message ever brought to any planet.
That Man is a Son Of God.
if you and I can take advantage of this timeless truth, we will walk and reign like kings in the earth everyone of us.
This is therefore the ultimate goal of life- to develop and fully express the divinity in us just like Jesus did in Bible days.
This singular message spearheaded democracy and has been the greatest revelation known to Mankind. In many ways, it inspires the concept of decentralization which ultimately births this awesome community.
Each of us therefore have the responsibility to consciously harness the limitless power of this message.
"THAT I AM PART AND PARCEL OF GOD, OF HIS BONES AND HIS FLESH. THAT NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN STAND AGAINST ME SUCCESSFUL FOR THE POWER OF MY FATHER WHICH SUSTAINS MY BEING IS ALSO THE ONE AT WORK IN ME"
CHEER UP! YOU'RE A WONDER!
Live full! Die empty.

With Much Love and Respect!
