Chapter 14: The Gift of Jesus

Page 26

Understanding Jesus makes it easy to honor him as we are instructed.

Since Jesus has been given authority as our judge, it makes sense that all the children of Abraham understand whom he really is and what he did for God.

To the extent that Jews and Muslims obey God’s Holy Word and

submit to His Will — they are in obedient to what Jesus taught. This shows that they do honor him even if they do not understand him. In contrast, Christians are taught mythology today and even that they do not and cannot obey God’s Word. Verily I say unto you that all who fail to adhere to the

words of Jesus will never see the kingdom of God. The words he taught from God require obedience “unto righteousness” from within our hearts.

You are the temple of the living God and the greatest gift of Jesus is a return to fellowship with our God. Right here on planet earth you too can be

walking with God. Those who have His eternal light know it as a fact. Like me, you too can return to Eden on earth and even experience His joy in the midst of earthly sufferings. When I had the epiphany over 25 years ago, God filled me with His Spirit and came to dwell with me. It was ten years

later that I was baptized by immersion. For me, that water baptism was a moment in which I proclaimed to the world that I belonged to God.

The Greatest Gift Of Jesus Is God’s Fellowship!

In preparation for this chapter, I studied for days the so-called lost gospels of Christ. The Church had reportedly purged and burned certain books and writings in its early days circa 200 A.D. that were considered

heretical. It presumably did this in the process of establishing an orthodox Christian belief system. If you claimed to be a Christian in the early days of the Church, belief in orthodox doctrine was expected. However, in 1945 an Egyptian peasant found an earthenware jar in northern Egypt that contained

13 ancient manuscripts.1 These manuscripts contained Gnostic texts that apparently survived the purge of the original orthodox construct. Gnostic Christians believe that these manuscripts contain additional gospels and scriptures that are critical to understanding God. These manuscripts were only recently translated and are still being researched by scholars.
