THE MERCY-WORK OF THE MAN JESUS

Remember always My endless Love for you that moved ME to fulfil for you the Redemption-Work. What the man Jesus experienced and suffered on Earth, HE did out of Love for His fellow-men, whom HE knew to be in the greatest spiritual need. HE, as man, already knew of the immense sin-guilt of men and their hopelessness to free themselves from it without help. This knowledge was the result of His Life of Love, and therefore HE took pity on humanity and HE wanted to help it.

But, at the same time, HE was aware that as a result of His Love, HE had to fulfil a mission - that I MYSELF had sent HIM to Earth so that HE could serve ME as cover, and in this manner I MYSELF could accomplish the Redemption- Work and with it cancel the great sin-guilt. And according to this mission His life on Earth was accomplished: a way of immeasurable miseries and suffering that obliged Him to mature early, because in the midst of the sinful humanity His soul was afflicted with thorns. For His soul came from the realm of Light, down to darkness.

But the earthly cover which contained the soul had to go through that suffering and distress, through constant fights against acquired desires and passions; it first had to be purged to become finally a worthy receptacle for MYSELF; and I then filled HIM entirely and became One with HIM.

And now began His proper mission: To bring Light to humanity, to announce to them the Truth; to preach the Gospel of Love; to live as an example and to show them the way that they too must walk if they wish to enter after their death into the realm of Light and Bliss. And lastly, to close His earthly passage with an incomparable work of Mercy: with His most bitter way of passion and the most painful death on the cross, as Sacrifice for the sin-guilt of humanity.

And this mission was performed indeed by a man, but I MYSELF was in this man. I MYSELF as the eternal Love accomplished the Redemption-Work, because only Love could endure the grief of the passion-way and only Love could produce the Force to bear patiently all this in full consciousness until His death.

And when the man Jesus cried on the cross the words: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?", it was only a confession that God in HIM did not urge HIM to this act, but that the man Jesus, in full freedom of will, offered the Sacrifice for His follow-creatures; that the Love in HIMSELF led to the execution, but did not constrain HIM in His thinking and action.

The man Jesus took the whole burden of the sin of all mankind on His shoulders and walked with it to the cross. None of you people can understand these words in their full meaning. I MYSELF accomplished the work of Mercy, because even the man Jesus would not have been able to do so without Love - to take on such a measure of suffering and torture. But inasmuch as the Deity could not suffer, therefore a soul, able to suffer, was obliged to endure the degree of pain and grief - a man, whose body was sensitive to pain and who in a way atoned for what humanity's guilt unloads on God. HIS soul suffered beyond description, because it came from the realm of Light and the darkness on Earth was tremendous torture for it.

The man Jesus was "My Son" whom I treasured very much. He was devoted to ME with all His senses and leaned on ME with all His Love. HE humbled Himself in the midst of sinning humanity, and His soul searched incessantly for ME, His GOD and FATHER of Eternity. His Love forced ME into an uninterrupted flowing-in within HIM, and thus there could take place the unification between MAN and GOD - which, in accordance with the lawful order, could result in "God's becoming man".

I could never have chosen a human form to dwell in that had not been pure Love, for I MYSELF could not unite with something impure. And each immature substance was spiritualised through the passion-path of the man Jesus, and at the same time the sin-guilt was cancelled for the whole of mankind, because ONE out of Love sacrificed HIMSELF for His fellow-men.

The man Jesus glorified MYSELF through His death, whilst I glorified HIM by choosing HIM as the visual cover of MYSELF for Eternity - by becoming a visible Deity in HIM for all My created beings who are worthy of "seeing God". As long as you live on Earth you should always put before your eyes My endless Love that helped you to your liberation through the Redemption-Work. Only then will you fully understand this work of Mercy in its total depth, when you yourself have entered the realm of Light, and when the Light of cognisance will shine through you, as before. Then you, too, will be able to take part. You will live it yourself as in the present, and understand then My infinite Love that did everything to win back My children, those who had been lost through that great guilt of the apostasy from ME.

AMEN
