The birth of Christ.... I.

Salvation has come from above.... How many lips utter this and how often is the heart unaffected, insofar as that the human being not even once seriously reflects on the meaning of Jesus Christ's coming down to earth. A child was born, Whose soul descended from the kingdom of light because God wanted to embody Himself in this infant. The infant Jesus was a human being, born to Mary, the virgin, who conceived him through the strength of the spirit.... The human being Jesus started His earthly course of life like everyone else, yet the side effects of His birth were not those of an ordinary person but they indicated that an exceptional cover also sheltered an exceptional boy child.... that it should be the cover for the Eternal Deity Which was only able to manifest Itself in a pure and sinless human being, as was the boy child Jesus. For He had to carry out a mission of such immense significance that the requirements for it also had to be exceptional. God Himself wanted to take abode in the infant Jesus and chose for Himself an immaculate form which also harboured an immaculate soul, in which the Eternal Deity was able to dwell in order to accomplish the act of Salvation for the whole of the human race. The fact that God Himself descended to earth was an act of overwhelming compassion, for Earth was covered in profound darkness and all its inhabitants too, they were controlled and gagged by the prince of darkness and languished under the pressure of slavery in sin and agony. And God knew the hardship of His living creations which once had voluntarily separated themselves from Him and, entangling themselves in ever deeper darkness, no longer found a way out and cried for a Saviour to liberate them. God heard their cry and sent His Son to earth.... a Being Which likewise emerged from His might and love and Which remained in His abundance of light when His brothers plunged themselves into the darkness. Jesus' soul was devoted to God with boundless love but it also loved its fallen brothers and wanted to help them return into the Father's house because it knew that happiness and bliss are only possible in God's presence and that the distance from Him meant hardship, agony and darkness.

Jesus knew both conditions and His love for the wretched being motivated Him to offer Himself as a sacrifice in order to remove the guilt of sin which was immense, and the beings which became sinful would never have been able to make

Amends for it themselves. Yet a pure and blameless soul wanted to sacrifice itself for their sins in order to redeem the guilt and to satisfy God's righteousness. For the soul was love.... And this love was God.... God or love permeated the man Jesus, so that He wanted to accomplish an act of greatest suffering and agony for the sake of these fallen brothers. And thus God Himself descended to earth in Jesus and entered a human form which corresponded to all preconditions in order to shelter the Eternal Deity Himself without fading away.... The infant Jesus was full of love and all hearts entering His ray of love became permeated by love, singing praise and giving thanks, for only people came to the infant's manger whose hearts were pure and devoted to God and who therefore felt the love emanated by the infant and who came aglow with burning love for the Jesus child. Although the events surrounding Jesus' birth are now only regarded a myth, anyone who is filled by the spirit of God, whose spirit is awakened, knows that everything which has been preserved as knowledge about the birth of Jesus is the truth. Miracles upon miracles happened around the child Itself, in nature, in Heaven and on Earth, and all the angles bowed down on bended knees before the One Who had embodied Himself in the infant Jesus, just as men and animals were seized by holiest awe and silence when the greatest wonder, God's human manifestation in Jesus, was taking place. And the heart of anyone with an awakened spirit will also convincingly speak the Words 'Salvation has come from above....' For the light of love of the Saviour Jesus Christ likewise shines on him, he belongs to those for whom the Saviour came to earth to save them, he belongs to the redeemed, for whom the act of compassion on the cross was accomplished, because he wanted to become redeemed from sin and death. And he will not just pay lip service to the birth of Christ, with his heart he will think of everything that happened during that night when the light of the world came down to earth, when the infant Jesus came into the world. And he will join in singing the hymn of praise 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will....'

Amen

KRISTOVO ROĐENJE.... I.

Spasenje je došlo od gore.... Koliko puno usana to izgovara i koliko često je srce nedirnuto, utoliko što ljudsko biće čak ni jednom najozbiljnije ne reflektira o značenju silaska Isusa Krista na Zemlju.

Dijete je bilo rođeno, Čija se duša spustila iz kraljevstva svjetla pošto je Bog želio Sebe utjeloviti u tom djetešcetu. Djetešce Isus je bilo ljudsko biće, rođeno od Marije, djevice, koja Ga je začela kroz snagu duha.... Ljudsko biće Isus je započeo Svoj zemaljski kurs života kao i svatko drugi, pa ipak popratni efekti Njegovog rođenja nisu bili oni obične osobe već su naznačavali kako je jedan izvanredan pokrov također zaklanjao izvanrednog dječaka.... da On treba biti pokrov za Vječno Božanstvo Koje je Sebe jedino bilo u stanju manifestirati u čistom i bezgrešnom ljudskom biću, kakav je bio dječak Isus. Jer On je trebao ostvariti misiju takve izvanredne važnosti da su njezina potraživanja također trebala biti izuzetna. Bog Osobno se želio nastaniti u djetešcetu Isusu i odabrao je za Sebe bezgrešnu formu koja je također sklanjala/skrivala bezgrešnu dušu, u kojoj je Vječno Božanstvo moglo boraviti kako bi ostvarilo čin Spasenja za cijelu ljudsku rasu. Činjenica da je Bog Osobno sišao na Zemlju je bio čin ogromne samilosti/milosrđa, jer Zemlja je bila prekrivena vrlo dubokim mrakom i svi njezini stanovnici su, također, sebe zapleli u sve dublju tamu, više nisu pronalazili izlazak i vapili su za Spasiteljem da ih oslobodi. Bog je čuo njihov vapaj/plač i poslao je Svoga Sina na Zemlju.... Biće Koje je takođe proizašlo iz Njegove moći i ljubavi i koje je ostalo u Njegovom obilju svjetla kada su Njegova braća sebe potopila u tamu. Isusova duša je bila privržena Bogu sa bezgraničnom ljubavlju ali je također voljela svoju palu braću i željela im je pomoći vratiti se u Očevu kuću pošto je znala da su sreća i blaženstvo jedino mogući u Božjem prisustvu i da udaljenost od Njega znači patnju, agoniju i mrak.

Isus je znao da su Ga i uvjeti i Njegova ljubav prema mizernim bićima motivirali ponuditi Se(be) kao žrtvu kako bi otklonio krivnju grijeha koji je bio ogroman, i kojeg bića koja su postala grešna ne bi nikad bila sposobna sâma ispraviti. Ipak čista i nevina duša je sebe željela žrtvovati za njihove grijehe kako bi iskupila krivnju i zadovoljila Božju pravednost. Jer duša je bila ljubav.... a ta ljubav je bila Bog.... Bog ili ljubav je prožeo čovjeka Isusa, tako da je On želio izvršiti čin najveće patnje i agonije poradi te pale braće. I tako je Bog Osobno sišao na Zemlju u Isusu i ušao u ljudsku formu koja je korespondirala svim preduvjetima kako bi zaklonila Vječno Božanstvo Osobno bez da iščezne/zamre/potpuno nestane.... Djetešce Isus je bilo puno ljubavi i sva srca koja su bila obasjana Njegovim zrakama ljubavi [[u smislu, ‘ušla, tj. našla se u prostoru kojeg su obasjavale Njegove zrake ljubavi’]] su postala prožeta ljubavlju, pjevala su i zahvaljivala, jer jaslicama u kojima se nalazilo djetešce su jedino prišli oni ljudi čija su srca bila čista i privržena Bogu i koji su prema tome osjećali ljubav koju je zračilo djetešce i koji su došli zapaljeni gorućom ljubavlju prema djetetu Isusu.

Iako se događaji koji su okruživali Isusovo rođenje sada smatraju samo za mit, svatko tko je ispunjen duhom Božjim, čiji je duh probuđen, zna kako je sve ono što je bilo sačuvano kao znanje o Isusovom rođenju istina. Čudo za čudom se događao oko samog djeteta Isusa, u prirodi, na Nebu i na Zemlji, i svi su se anđeli poklonili na savijenim koljenima pred Onim Koji je Sebe utjelovio u detešcetu Isusu, baš kao što su životinje i ljudi bili zahvaćeni sa najsvetijim strahopoštovanjem i tišinom u trenutku kada se događalo najveće čudo, Božja ljudska manifestacija u Isusu. I srce svakoga tko je probuđenog duha će također uvjerljivo izgovarati riječi ‘Spasenje je sišlo od gore....’ Jer svjetlo ljubavi Spasitelja Isusa Krista također sjaji na njega, on pripada onima zbog kojih je Spasitelj došao na Zemlju da bi ih spasio, on pripada iskupljenima, za koje je čin samilosti na križu bio ostvaren, pošto je želio biti iskupljen od grijeha i smrti. I on rođenje Isusa neće samo častiti ispraznim riječima, on će sa svojim srcem misliti o svemu što se dogodilo tijekom te noći kada je svjetlo svijeta sišlo dolje na Zemlju, kada je djetešce Isus došlo na svijet. I pridružit će se pjevanju himne hvaljenja ‘Slava Bogu na visinama, i na zemlji mir svim ljudima dobre volje.... (Luka 2:14)’

AMEN
