The birth of Christ.... II.

No-one can judge the depth of divine love which expressed itself in the fact that God Himself descended to earth in order to accomplish the act of Salvation on behalf of humanity. He took pity on people's immeasurable guilt of sin, for the sinners themselves were unable to redeem it since the offence against God's love was fully consciously committed.... not because 'imperfection' made the being unable to recognise its offence against God but because these beings were brightly enlightened and therefore recognisedGod in His power and glory.... However, they were unable to see Him and therefore, despite better knowledge, followed the one who presented himself as God and Creator.... and they followed him because they were able to see him although they knew that he, too, was only a product of God's creative will and God's strength. The magnitude of the guilt rests in the fact that the beings were illuminated by the light of realisation and in the face of it turned away from their God and Creator of eternity. And it was impossible for them to redeem this immense guilt, for they were no longer able to undo the sin, they remained burdened by it, and the only option was for God to redeem the sin Himself.... but this, again, could only take place within the framework of divine justice, because every guilt demands atonement so that it can be redeemed. And in order to render this atonement for humanity, God descended to earth and accomplished the act of Salvation in the man Jesus....

God Himself was unable to suffer but He wanted to take the suffering upon Himself which the human race had deserved due to the sin of their past apostasy from God.... And this is why a human being, into Whose shell God Himself incarnated, took the suffering upon Himself.... the Eternal Love, Who thus wanted to offer the sacrifice, the sacrifice of atonement for the immense guilt.... A human being with a heart full of love allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross for the whole human race, and love alone motivated Him to accomplish this act of compassion. A human being with all human weaknesses and fears took a bitter earthly path and the love within Him consistently grew, for God Himself was in this human being and therefore the sayings and actions of the man Jesus were only ever motivated by love, just as love finally walked the bitter path of suffering and endured and died on the cross. It was no arbitrary act by a human being Who sacrificed Himself for His fellow human beings for the sake of an advantage, He was merely impelled by love to accomplish the act of compassion, because He knew that their path to the kingdom of light was and had to remain closed to them if they were not released from their guilt of sin first.... He knew what the original sin consisted of and that they would never be able to make

Amends for this sin by themselves. And therefore He volunteered to offer God the sacrifice of atonement in order to redeem His fellow human beings.... In truth, however, love within Him caused Him to do so; it was the Eternal Love Itself, Which thus wanted to redeem people from their inconceivable guilt, for the Eternal Deity sheltered in the human being in full abundance.

And so God's human manifestation has to be understood such that the Eternal Love embodied Itself in a human being Who prepared Himself in a way that the Eternal Love was able to dwell in Him and that therefore everything the human being Jesus did in earthly life was in truth done by God Himself.... that 'love' determined the human being Jesus' every intention, thought and action, that the human being certainly suffered and died on the cross but that God Himself was in this man, that He therefore accomplished the act of Salvation for humanity. Only when people comprehend that God is Love will they also comprehend the problem of God's human manifestation and they will understand that God and Jesus Christ are one, that they are not two persons, and that the divine Oneness may not be contested, because love permeated the human shell and therefore the external form of the human being Jesus was also the visible form of the divine Love Itself, that they were not separate Beings but only ever God Himself. The problem of God's human manifestation can only be solved in this way, but then a person will also find it easy to acknowledge Jesus, and he will take refuge in Him and by calling upon Him he will call God Himself, thus acknowledging Him. And his original sin will be wiped out, because God Himself descended to earth for his guilt and has accomplished the act of Salvation, the act of atonement, on his behalf....

Amen

KRISTUSOVO ROJSTVO.... II.

Nihče ne more oceniti globine Božanske Ljubezni, katera se je izrazila v dejstvu, da se je Bog Osebno spustil na Zemljo, da bi namesto človeštva uresničil delo Odrešenja. On se je usmilil ljudi zaradi ogromne krivde greha, ker ga sami grešniki niso bili sposobni plačati, ker je bil prekršek proti Božji Ljubezni narejen popolnoma zavestno.... ne zaradi nepopolnosti, da je bilo bitje nesposobno prepoznati svoj prekršek proti Bogu, ampak zato, ker so bila ta bitja osvetljena z blestečo svetlobo, da so tako lahko Boga prepoznala v Njegovi moči in slavi.... Oni Ga sicer niso bili sposobni videti, vendar pa so kljub boljšemu (spo)znanju sledili tistemu (Luciferju), kateri se je predstavil kot Bog in Stvarnik.... in oni so mu sledili, ker so ga lahko videli, četudi so vedeli, da je bil tudi on samo proizvod Božje ustvarjalne volje in Božje moči. Veličina krivde je v dejstvu, da so bila bitja osvetljena s svetlobo dojemanja in so se kljub temu obrnila stran od svojega Boga ter Stvarnika večnosti. Za njih je bilo namreč nemogoče, da odplačajo to ogromno krivdo, ker oni greha niso bili več sposobni izbrisati; oni so ostali obremenjeni z njim in za Boga je bila edina možnost, da ta greh odplača Osebno.... vendar pa se je to lahko zgodilo samo znotraj okvirja Božanske pravice. Namreč vsaka krivda, da bi se lahko odplačala, zahteva pokoro; da pa bi za človeštvo naredil to pokoro, se je Bog spustil na Zemljo in v človeku Jezusu uresničil delo Odrešenja....

Bog Osebno ni mogel trpeti, vendar pa je On na Sebe želel vzeti trpljenje, katerega je človeška rasa zaslužila zaradi greha njihovega predhodnega odpadništva od Boga.... In to je bil razlog, da je človeško bitje, v ovoju Katerega je se je Bog Osebno utelesil, vzelo trpljenje na Sebe.... Večna Ljubezen, Katera je na ta način želela ponuditi žrtev, žrtev pokore za ogromno krivdo.... Človeško bitje je s srcem polnim Ljubezni dovolilo, da Ga za celotno človeško raso pribijejo na Križ. In edino Ljubezen Ga je motivirala, da uresniči to delo usmiljenja. Človeško bitje se je z vsemi človeškimi slabostmi in strahovi napotilo po mukotrpni zemeljski stezi; Ljubezen v njem pa je neprestano rasla, ker je bil Bog Osebno v tem človeškem bitju, da so bile zaradi tega besede in dejanja vedno motivirane samo z Ljubeznijo (Janez 5:19, 30; 8:28; 12:49; 14:10), kakor je tudi Ljubezen končno hodila po mukotrpni stezi trpljenja, trpela in umrla na Križu. To ni bilo prostovoljno delo človeškega bitja, Katero bi je zaradi koristi žrtvovalo za Svoja bližnja človeška bitja; enostavno ga je Ljubezen spodbudila, da uresniči delo usmiljenja, ker je vedel, da njihova pot do kraljestva je in tudi mora za njih ostati zaprta, če niso najprej osvobojeni njihove krivde greha.... On je namreč vedel, iz česa je bil prvobitni greh sestavljen in da ga oni sami od sebe ne bi bili nikoli sposobni odplačati (oz. »narediti tista dela, katera bi ta greh lahko odplačala). In zaradi tega se je On prostovoljno prijavil, da bi Bogu ponudil žrtev pokore, da bi (od)rešil Svoja bližnja človeška bitja.... V Resnici pa Ga je na to spodbudila Ljubezen znotraj Njega; to je bila namreč Sama Večna Ljubezen, Katera je na ta način želela odrešiti ljudi njihove nezamisljive krivde, ker se je Večno Božanstvo v vsej polnosti zakrilo v človeškem bitju.

In zaradi tega mora biti Božje učlovečenje dojeto tako, da Se je Večna Ljubezen utelesila v človeškem bitju, Katero je Sebe pripravilo na način, da je bila Večna Ljubezen sposobna prebivati v Njem in da je bilo zaradi tega vse, kar je človeško bitje Jezus naredil v zemeljskem življenju, dejansko narejeno s strani Boga Osebno.... da je »Ljubezen« določala vse namere, misli in akcije človeškega bitja Jezusa; da je človeško bitje zagotovo trpelo in umrlo na Križu, vendar pa je bil Bog Osebno v tem človeku in da je glede na to On uresničil delo Odrešenja za človeštvo. Samo takrat, ko ljudje dojamejo, da je Bog Ljubezen (1 Janez 4:8, 16), bodo oni obenem tudi razumeli problem Božjega učlovečenja in bodo razumeli, da sta Bog in Kristus eno (Janez 10:30); da onadva nista dve osebi in da se Božanske Enosti ne more zanikati, ker je Ljubezen prežela človeški ovoj in je bila glede na to zunanja forma človeškega bitja Jezusa ravno tako vidna forma Same Božanske Ljubezni; da onadva nista bili ločeni Bitji, ampak vedno samo Bog Osebno. Problem Božjega Učlovečenja se lahko reši samo na ta način, vendar pa potem človek tudi z lahkoto priznal Jezusa. On bo namreč v Njem našel pribežališče in s tem, ko bo klical Njega, bo klical Boga Osebno in Ga na ta način obenem tudi priznal. In njegov prvobitni greh bo izbrisan, ker se je zaradi njegovega greha Bog Osebno spustil na Zemljo in namesto njega uresničil delo Odrešenja, delo pokore.
