Saying 11

Jesus said,

"This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. During the days when you ate what is dead, you made it come alive. When you are in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?" ."

 

The heaven is what seems to us to be the most raised. Nevertheless it will pass. And what is above the heaven will also pass. There are things higher than the heaven which we see, who nevertheless shall disappear one day. All which was created will pass. Everything is soon going to change, the whole nature seems to be conscious of it. it suffers the pains of the travailing in birth. And this new life can be born only from the death of this one.

Nothing has to change, everything has to die to be born different. The Message of Jesus is not there so that our lives are improved, but so that they die to be born again. What God wants, it is not our transformation, it is our death. Because, as the wheat gives ears if he does not die, also, we shall never become what God wants whom we are, without crossing by the repentance and finally the death.

 In the meantime, we live in a system of transformation. We eat what died to transform it alive. This is valid so of course as in the spiritual. For example, God's Word is a dead thing on which we feed to be able to live. Nevertheless, only the Spirit of this word is really Alive. When The word is eaten without the Spirit, it becomes a dead religion.

It is what Jesus says there.

" we ate what is dead, we made it come alive.." Now He also says: : " When you are in the light, what will you do?" 

To be in the Light does not mean, to know the good doctrine, it means knowing the Author of the healthy doctrine. The doctrine, however good it is, kills. It is the Spirit of the doctrine, the Author of the doctrine, the Lord God Almighty who quickeness the one who believes and lives according to the healthy doctrine. The letter kills, but the spirit give life.

When were we ONE? Adam and Eve were One. They did not need the other one to make the third (a child). Adam and Eve were make in the image of God and had deliver the children of God, the Father. It was not sexual question of relation between Adam and Eve. They owed multiply and to grow with God, in communion, in union with God who wanted to be the Father of all.

This plan had moreover already begun. God had had a first "child" with Adam: Eve.

God had the other one with Marie: Jesus. (And Jesus is the first-born of a large number of brothers and sisters.)

They were One, in the garden of Eden until the day when they fell in the animal kingdom. Jesus thus asks: " But when you become two, what will you do?"

We have to become again One. Join together . A single heart a single soul. Unite with God. Taking part in heart so that of our union with the Father, the other one persons can be spiritually born. Our part, it is to show our testimony, to preach, to sow God's Alive Word so that occurs the born again's miracle to those of our generation.

what will you do?.
