Jesus Christ.... His holy name....

The name of Him Who is supremely holy and Whom you should call upon in every earthly and spiritual distress is known to all you humans.... It is Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world.... Who descended to earth as the son of God and, after His work of redemption, ascended to heaven as God Himself.... Who is therefore to be addressed as God because the eternal deity manifested Itself in His human shell, the eternal love, Which completely filled the human being Jesus, and therefore His soul became one with it as completely deified. Humanity certainly knows His name, but for the most part His name is only evaluated as that of a human being who was indeed good and noble, but who is denied divinity. For these His name is therefore without power, they do not call upon Him Who has promised them the fulfilment of every prayer sent up to the father in His name. For the father and He are one, and anyone who professes faith in this by calling upon His name will have his prayer answered. For people who lack all spiritual knowledge this problem of God's incarnation is so incomprehensible that they doubt the truth of such teachings and therefore will never test the power of His sanctified name.... Yet their ignorance does not therefore nullify the truth.... And God does not leave any possibility unused to bring knowledge to them, to give them the right clarification, so that they will understand the holiness of the name of Jesus and also call upon Him in their distress.... The ultimate aim of every being is the divinization of itself in free will. People do not know the purpose and aim of their earthly life and therefore do not pursue the aim which the man Jesus achieved with His earthly life and His death on the cross. He indeed descended to earth as a soul of light to fulfil a mission for the first time, to redeem people from a guilt.... from the sin of the former rebellion against God. For their souls had also been souls of light.... they had also come forth from God and stood in the same perfection as the soul of the man Jesus.... Yet they had forfeited their perfection in free will, they had not remained with God but had voluntarily turned away from Him.... to the one who stood opposite God as an adversary after he had been the first to apostatize from God. This great guilt, which the spiritual beings had once incurred and the consequence of which is earthly life as a human being, was taken upon His shoulder by the man Jesus in order to redeem it through His death on the cross.... And because of this mission the soul of light.... the son of God.... descended to earth. But at the same time He lived to men this life which results in the deification of the soul.... He lived a life of unselfish love for them which leads to complete union with the eternal love, which can also shape a divine image out of a sinful earthly human being and leads to the full possession of strength and light.... The man Jesus gave humanity the proof, for His miracles, His unsurpassable wisdom and finally His glorious Ascension proved His divine strength and power.... they proved the effect of a way of life in love and give all people the hope of being able to achieve the same aim if they live as followers of Jesus.... For He gave people the promise: You shall become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect.... So it is also possible to achieve this perfection if it is seriously striven for and if His holy name is called upon for help. For through the act of salvation the burden has been lifted from humanity which pressed it to the ground and made all ascent to heaven impossible.... But for this reason Jesus Christ must also be acknowledged as the redeemer of the world.... otherwise the guilt of sin is not redeemed, otherwise every human being has to cope with this burden himself and eternally cannot reach the aim.... Jesus knew about this weakened state of humanity and therefore descended to earth in order to help it, yet no-one can be released from his guilt who does not acknowledge Him and who therefore cannot let himself be redeemed by Him either.... No-one can become blessed without Jesus Christ.... But everyone will experience the power of His name who faithfully calls upon Him and hands himself and his guilt over to Him and asks Him for help and forgiveness of his guilt. No one will call upon Him in vain who speaks His holy name and thereby acknowledges Him as the son of God and redeemer of the world, Who said of Himself: "I and the father are one...." and "no one comes to the father except through Me...."

Amen

JEZUS KRISTUS.... NJEGOVO SVETO IME....

Vi vsi ljudje poznate Ime Tistega, Ki je nadvse svet (Razodetje 15:4) in Katerega morate vi klicati v vsaki zemeljski in duhovni težavi.... To je Jezus Kristus, Božji Sin in Odrešenik sveta.... Ki se je kot Božji Sin spustil na Zemljo in se po Njegovem delu odrešenja kot Sam Bog ponovno dvignil na nebo.... Katerega je potrebno nagovoriti kot Boga, večno Ljubezen, Ki je popolnoma izpolnjevala človeka Jezusa in zaradi česar je Njegova duša, kot popolnoma deificirana, z Njim postala eno. Človeštvo resda pozna Njegovo ime, vendar pa je Njegovo ime najpogosteje vrednoteno kot samó ime človeka, ki je bil sicer dober in plemenit, toda kateremu je zanikana Božanstvenost. Zato Njegovo ime nima moči za njih; oni ne kličejo Njega, Ki jim je obljubil izpolnitev vsake molitve, ki je v Njegovem imenu namenjana gor k Očetu. Oče in On sta namreč Eno (Janez 10:30). In tistemu, ki je s klicanjem Njegovega imena izrazil vero, bo njegova molitev uslišana. Za ljudi, katerim primanjkuje vsakršnega duhovnega znanja, je ta problem učlovečenja Boga tako nedojemljiv, da dvomijo v resničnost tovrstnih učenj, in zato ne bodo nikoli (pre)izkusili moči Njegovega svetega imena.... Vendar pa njihovo neznanje glede tega ne bo ovrglo Resnice.... In Bog ne pušča nobene priložnosti neizkoriščene, da takim prinese znanje, da bi jim dal pravilno razlago, da jim bo svetost Jezusovega imena dojemljiva in da Ga tudi oni (po)kličejo v njihovi težavi.... Končni cilj vsakega bitja je poduhovljenje samega sebe v svobodni volji. Ljudje ne poznajo namena in cilja njihovega zemeljskega življenja, zato tudi ne sledijo cilju, katerega je človek Jezus dosegel s Svojim načinom zemeljskega življenja in s Svojo smrtjo na Križu. On se je resnično kot svetlobni duh spustil na Zemljo predvsem zato, da izvrši poslanstvo, da osvobodi ljudi od krivde.... od greha nekdanjega upora proti Bogu. Namreč tudi njihove duše so bile svetlobna bitja.... one so ravno tako nastale iz Boga in so bile ravno tako popolne kot duša človeka Jezusa.... Vendar pa so v svobodni volji predale njihovo popolnost; one niso ostale z Bogom, temveč so se v svobodni volji oddaljile od Njega.... k tistemu (Luciferju – Satanu), ki je kot nasprotnik stal proti Bogu, potem ko je postal prvi odpadnik od Boga. To veliko krivdo, katero so si nekoč duhovna bitja navlekla nase, posledica česar je zemeljsko življenje kot človek, je človek Jezus vzel na Svoja ramena, da bi jo razveljavil (izbrisal, odplačal) s Svojo smrtjo na Križu.... In zaradi tega poslanstva se je svetlobna duša.... Božji Sin.... spustila na Zemljo. Vendar pa je On istočasno kot primer za ljudi živel življenje, katero ima za posledico deifikacijo duše (postati Božanski).... On je za njih kot primer živel življenje v nesebični Ljubezni, ki vodi do popolne združitve z večno Ljubeznijo, kakor tudi nekega grešnega zemeljskega človeka lahko ravno tako oblikuje v Božansko podobo in ga pripelje do popolnega posedovanja moči ter svetlobe.... Človek Jezus je človeštvu dal dokaz, ker so Njegova čudežna dela, Njegova neprekosljiva modrost in navsezadnje Njegov slavni vnebohod dokazali Njegovo Božansko silo in moč.... dokazali so učinek načina življenja v Ljubezni in so vsem ljudem dajali upanje, da bodo lahko dosegli enak cilj, če živijo tako, da hodijo za Jezusom.... On je namreč ljudem dal obljubo: postanite popolni, kot je popoln vaš Oče na nebu (Matej 5:48).... Zato je ravno tako mogoče doseči to popolnost, ko je prisotno resno prizadevanje in ko se kliče na pomoč Njegovo sveto ime. Namreč preko dela odrešenja je človeštvu odstranjeno breme, ki ga je pritiskalo na Zemljo in onemogočalo vsakršen vzpon navzgor.... In ravno zaradi tega mora biti Jezus Kristus priznan kot Odrešenik sveta.... ker drugače krivda greha ni razveljavljena (umaknjena), ker se mora drugače vsak človek soočiti s tem bremenom in za vekomaj ne more priti do cilja.... Jezus je namreč vedel za to oslabljeno stanje človeštva in se je zato spustil dol na Zemljo, da bi jim pomagal. Vendar pa nihče ne more biti osvobojen od krivde, kdor ne prizna Njega in zato niti sam ne dovoli, da bi ga On odkupil.... Brez Jezusa Kristusa nihče ne more postati blažen.... Vendar pa bo moč Njegovega imena doživel vsak, ki Ga (po)kliče v veri in mu preda samega sebe ter svojo krivdo in Ga prosi za pomoč ter odpuščanje svoje krivde. Nihče, ki izgovarja Njegovo sveto ime, Ga ne bo klical zaman. Tako Ga prizna kot Božjega Sina in Odrešenika sveta, Ki je o Samemu Sebi dejal: »Jaz in Oče sva eno....« in »nihče ne pride k Očetu drugače kot po Meni....« (Janez 14:6).

AMEN
