7885 The work of redemption through Jesus Christ....

May 4, 1961: Book 82

You cannot occupy your thoughts often enough with Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for it was the most powerful thing that has ever happened and will ever happen on earth.... I Myself, your God and creator, your father from eternity, embodied Myself in this human being Jesus and walked the path across earth as a human being.... You will not be able to grasp this until you stand in the highest abundance of light; yet as a human being it shall be held up to you again and again that this great event took place because of you.... And you truly cannot think often enough about the infinite love which prompted Me to put on flesh in order to be able to come close to you, who otherwise would have passed away in view of My light if I had not veiled Myself to you in order to be able to dwell with you.... I Myself.... the greatest spirit of infinity.... entered this earth and took on the form of a human being because it was necessary to accomplish a work of atonement for you and your immense guilt of sin in order to pave the way for you humans back to Me again, from Whom you had once voluntarily distanced yourselves. And this work of atonement was truly unique, for the most bitter suffering and pain ever endured by a human being, Who was pure and sinless and full of love, was inflicted on him.... He was tormented physically and mentally and patiently took all these torments upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt of sin of His fallen brothers.... And in this man was I Myself.... I could not suffer as a spirit, therefore I took on the shell of a human being in order to take upon Myself the suffering which meant the redemption of the guilt of sin and which could not be avoided for the sake of justice, which demands atonement for every offence against My love.... This is why your God and creator, your father of eternity, embodied Himself in this human being Jesus, this is why I Myself lived on this earth as a human being, because I wanted to bring salvation to you, who otherwise would have remained eternally separated from Me due to your guilt of sin and would never have been able to take the path back to the father, because the path to the kingdom of light was closed to you as long as your guilt had not been redeemed.... Yet as long as you humans stay on earth you cannot grasp the full depth of this great work of mercy.... because your thinking is limited and you are still in darkness, i.e. in a state without knowledge.... until you yourselves have found forgiveness through Jesus Christ, until you yourselves have been redeemed by Him through His blood which He shed on the cross for humanity's guilt of sin.... only then will it become bright in you, and only then will you be able to muster understanding for the great work of love of your God and creator of eternity.... only then will you also be able to understand Who walked the earth in the man Jesus, Who redeemed you from sin and death.... And ever brighter light will shine in you the further you progress in your maturity of soul.... if you live in love as the man Jesus exemplified to you.... Then you will also often dwell with Him in your thoughts, you will recognize Me Myself in Him, you will sing praise and thanks to Me in your heart that I Myself descended to earth in order to bring you salvation, which only I Myself could bring to you by sacrificing Myself in Jesus for you and your sins. My death on the cross was a unique act of love which was accomplished for all times, for the past, the present and the future.... And it will never be repeated.... But in the spiritual kingdom it can be experienced at any time by the world of light, by all beings who have entered the kingdom of light and who can also measure the immense love and grace of their father, who caused that great act of love.... And they will praise and glorify Me and My name, for in their abundance of light they recognize the significance of the work of salvation, and full of love and gratitude they participate in it by seeking to lead the unredeemed spiritual beings to Jesus Christ and thus to Me Myself, Who was and remained in Him in order to be and remain a visible God to all created beings for all eternity...._>Amen
