5309 "I am the way, the truth and the life...."

February 3, 1952: Book 59

"I am the way, the truth and the life...." From Me comes the truth, I show you the right path through the truth, and this leads to life, to eternal bliss.... There is no second way but through truth, there is no second life apart from Me, and there is only one Who can promise you life.... Who purchased it for you on the cross. I lived and fought for the truth, and I died an agonizing death for the only truth, so that every one of you humans can recognize it as soon as he believes in Me. My path is easy to follow for anyone of good will.... I have preceded you on it.... it is the path of love which infallibly also leads to the recognition of truth. Since I only preached love I constantly showed you the path; since I Myself lived out the teaching I was also able to proclaim the pure truth, for everything in Me was light and bright, I knew everything and was therefore also able to impart the right knowledge to you. But you can only receive the truth from Me because it originates from Me and therefore also leads back to Me again. Anyone who wants to possess the truth has to request it from Me, Who am the eternal truth Myself.... Without Me you will remain in spiritual darkness and take the wrong path, a path which leads downwards....

You humans know that I have an adversary who wants to destroy where I build, who wants to extinguish the light, who wants to spread darkness over people so that they cannot recognize Me. This adversary tries everything to obfuscate the path to Me, to eternal life, so that it shall not be found.... And this adversary is an enemy of the truth, just as he is an enemy of Me.... For the truth reveals his plans, his activity and his detestable nature. Consequently, he takes action against the truth and his efforts will always be directed towards making Me Myself unrecognizable to people. He will work against Me wherever he can. Thus he is the antichrist who will stop at nothing to push people away from Me. The antichrist first works against the truth.... From this it follows that the pure truth will always be fought against.... that the representatives of the pure truth will be attacked, whereas the servants of the antichrist will be recognized as proclaimers of truth and masses will stand behind them, where the bearers of truth will only be isolated because action will constantly be taken against them. The path to truth is narrow, and it is only trodden by a few.... The masses of people walk on broad paths, and this alone shall be a sign to you who leads these masses.... Anyone who wants to follow Me on the narrow path of truth will not have many followers, for most shy away from the arduous path. But I Myself lead the way and I Myself am love, and anyone who follows Me must also have love within himself, and then the path will appear bright and clear to him and he will walk it unconcerned about the hardship, for his aim is Me and eternal life.... Do not seek the truth where the masses are.... I Myself walked My path on earth and was always surrounded by only a few, while most people rejected Me because I brought them the truth and it was unpleasant for them, because My adversary stood behind the masses and worked against the truth and only ever fights against it where he can. But anyone who stands in the truth recognizes his activity and it will never deter him.... For as soon as he follows Me he takes the right path and will live for eternity....

Amen
