~ ἆ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~_/ Today’s Ambassadors of Jesus \_~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ᾮ ~ . >>>> As in the time of Jesus when commissioning his original apostles, so again the substance of his instructions would be the same to the ambassadors of the Kingdom of God today >>> . “Go into all the world and preach the glad tidings of the kingdom. Liberate spiritual captives, comfort the oppressed, and minister to the afflicted. Freely you have received, freely give.” . “Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be you therefore as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves...... Be not anxious about what you shall say, for the spirit of my Father indwells you and will at such a time speak through you...... But fear not; I will be with you, and my spirit shall go before you into all the world. And my Father’s presence will abide with you” . >>> Jesus spoke at great length about what his apostles must be, not what they must do. They knew before only a religion that imposed the doing of certain things as the means of attaining righteousness — salvation. But Jesus would reiterate, . “In the kingdom you must BE righteous in order to do the work.” . ~* Many times did he repeat, . “Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” . ~* The salvation which he had come to bring to the world was to be had only by believing, by simple and sincere faith. Said Jesus: . “You are to proclaim the baptism of fellowship with God. Preach repentance to those who stand in need of such teaching, but to those already seeking sincere entrance to the kingdom, open the doors wide and bid them enter into the joyous fellowship of the sons of God.” . ~* In the kingdom, being righteous, by faith, must precede doing righteousness in the daily life of mankind. . ~* The Master, as must be his ambassadors of today, was engaged in living a life of spiritual inspiration for every person of every age ~ . >>>> Jesus said: . “When I asked you to become as little children as the price of entering the kingdom, I referred not to ease of deception, mere willingness to believe, nor to quickness to trust pleasing strangers. What I did desire that you should gather from the illustration was the child-father relationship. You are the child, and it is your Father’s kingdom you seek to enter. There is present that natural affection between every normal child and its father which insures an understanding and loving relationship, and which forever precludes all disposition to bargain for the Father’s love and mercy. And the gospel you are going forth to preach has to do with a salvation growing out of the faith-realization of this very and eternal child-father relationship.” . ~* The morality of the Master’s philosophy originated in the personal relation of the individual to God — this very child-father relationship. Jesus placed emphasis on the individual, not on the race or nation. The morality of any act is determined by the individual’s motive. Jesus’ morality was always positive. The golden rule as restated by Jesus demands active social contact. Jesus stripped morality of all rules and ceremonies and elevated it to majestic levels of spiritual thinking and truly righteous living ~ . ~* Whatever of practical political, social, or economic value there is to be found in the teachings of Jesus is the natural outworking of this inner experience of the soul as it manifests the fruits of the spirit in the spontaneous daily ministry of genuine personal religious experience ~ . Jesus stressed that ALL men are Sons of God: . “All men are the sons of God, and that is the good news you are going to proclaim.” And it was because of his desire to impress this truth upon them that Jesus taught his followers to treat all men as their brothers ~ . ~* The Master also made it clear that the morality of his teaching was inseparable from the way of his living. He taught morality, not from the nature of man, but from the relation of man to God ~ . What is the Kingdom of Heaven? . “The kingdom of heaven consists in these three essentials: first, recognition of the fact of the sovereignty of God; second, belief in the truth of sonship with God; and third, faith in the effectiveness of the supreme human desire to do the will of God — to be like God. And this is the good news of the gospel: that by faith every mortal may have all these essentials of salvation ~ . . >>>> An Enhanced Revelation of Truth >>> . ~ For humanitys spiritual advancement ~ .
