The
Christian religion has all the answers and meanings. God-Logos,
Jesus Christ came into the world to disperse the darkness which
had invaded the hearts of men and to teach us the way which
leads to Truth and Life. Humanity, in His day, possessed God
within their flesh, but could neither understand nor properly
conceive Absolute Beingness. They had to be taught.
This teaching was what Jesus Christ did, by word and by deed.
His words are a moral storehouse, while His deeds, whether
achieved or attempted, form the foundation and point the way to
perfection and salvation. Jesus Christ, in order to strengthen
His message, performed some miracles, because it was the only
way to attract the attention of the people of His day. The Lord
Jesus performed these miracles, however, not in order to impress
or to arouse humanity's admiration, but simply in order to wake
them up and to activate their spiritual powers, as an
inescapable pre-condition for the search and understanding of
the Truth.
Christ
had no need to be surrounded by followers. His purpose was to
show the way. For the first time, we hear the Divine Words, such
as 'I and the Father are one' (John 10:30). Jesus Christ speaks
to us of the Father-God who is His Father and ours too, His God
and ours. He demonstrates to us and explains the indissoluble
bonds which we have with God. With which God? 'God is a spirit
and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth' (John 4:24). He tells us, in other words, who God is and
confirms that we too are Spirits. 'I have said, Ye are gods and
all of you are children of the Most High' (Psalm 82:6 and John
10:34). The words of the ancient Prophets are explained anew and
the Old Law is made new and fulfilled.
In this
way the Nazarene consecrated the Christian religion, whose
purpose is to transmute humanity into spiritual light, as a
torch for conversion and salvation. The Teachings of Jesus
Christ are complete and contain all the necessary philosophy
which leads to true knowledge of the Nature of God, whether as
Absolute Beingness, as Christ Logos or as the Holy Spirit. So,
true Christianity is not just any religion, but a full
reflection of the Truth. It is a continuous and vital
exhortation to the understanding of Truth. The Lord Jesus Christ
Himself says, 'You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make
you free' (John 8:32). He calls Himself, 'the Way, the Truth and
the Life' (John 14:6).
