some thoughts on Christ

Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Jim B.

You pay for each other, isn't that what Love is all about? Did Jeshua Himself not take on the Karma of the world? And He asked us if we Love Him then to take up our own cross and do the same, to take onto ourselves the sins of the world. The Love has to be mutual. It's not good enough just for Jeshua to love us, we must love Him as well in our actions, in our daily lives, by doing what He asks, which is to love one another as He has loved us. Isn't this what the Gnostic Masters describe when they say that on the spiritual path karma is paid through voluntary suffering, for Humanity, for each other?

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
--Jeshua, from Matthew 16:24-25

That was a touching Christmastime post, Jim, as was Master Belzebuub's message on his website.

How sad it is that many people "save their lives" like misers, never having the faith to use this opportunity on Earth for the full potential; to "spend" their life to purchase the Truth....

Thank you so much Jim for

Thank you so much Jim for your words and for the quote. There is so much to think about in the few sentences you wrote. Much shame is rising already inside me for not putting in practice the words of the Master. But much inspiration has come with the pain as well to take actions to change. Thanks again, great blog.

Thanks for the post Jim, it

Thanks Jim for posting this blog.

I like your blogstyle and the references you often make to the gospels.

This post again underlines that the work isn't something distant but has to happen in the here and now. We decide within each moment whether we take up our cross and voluntary suffer of just enjoy our ego's.

Peace

Thanks a lot, Jim Merry
