Jesus
from Lourdes
The fifth King, and the center around which human history has
been woven, it is marked forward and backwards from His life.
He was the promised Christ, the only Messiah, the only Son of
God, the Lamb of God who was sacrificed to take away the sins
of the world. As His Father foretold through the Prophets, all
the people of the world shall worship Him, as their Savior and
their key to the Kingdom of Heaven. He was the greatest King,
yet He was given the least on earth as a man. There are lessons
to be learned here, one being that it is not the pleasure or
material gain or anything of the earth that matters, but
preparing ourselves to be worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
He preached that in many cases the first shall be last, and the
last shall be first. So you may enjoy less than a 100 years in
splendor and millions (i.e. eternity) at the bottom if you even
make the cut.
I'll just touch on some of His life as one could write a long
story and you should read the Bible for that. The story about His
birth shows the thirst some people have for power. When Herod
hears from the Wise Men that a King has been born, he is so
afraid of an infant, that he butchers all the young male children
up to 2 years old, in the region. Of course not killing the One,
because His parents were warned and had already fled. I mentioned
the cup of the Wrath of God, that is to be poured out over the world.
Well this is part of it, to atone for all the power hungry people who
have butchered and abused the masses for their own gain, along with
all His children who pay Him no respect and don't follow His
commandments.
In Isaiah 7.14:
Therefore the Lord himself will
give you a sign. Look, the young
virgin is with child and shall
bear a Son, and shall name Him
Emmanuel.
Emmanuel means, and God is with us. When Herod asked his people
where the child would be born they quoted Micah 5.2:
But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
who are one of the little clans of
Judah, from you shall come forth
for Me one who is to rule in Israel,
whose origin is from old, from
ancient days.
Now Our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled these 2 prophecies and the
last line supports my claim that Christ was a creation of the
Father. Jesus always calls the Creator, Father, and He was Their
first creation.
There are many Christians who down play the role of Mary in the
events of our time and her place in the grand scheme of life.
Well I tell you no greater woman shall ever be born and walk the
earth, and no Human being will ever be as close to Jesus Christ
as she is. Further more it is the right of Christ, through the
power given Him by the Father and the Holy Spirit to elevate who
ever He wants, to whatever level He wants. No Spirit from Their
side has been used to make contact with us, and help us, as many
times as she has. and below is Mary's song of praise from
Luke 1.46-55:
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has
looked with favor on the lowliness of His servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is His name.
His mercy is for those who fear
Him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered
the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly; He has filled the hungry with
good things, and sent the rich away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His
mercy, according to the promise He made to our
ancestors, to Abraham and to His descendants forever."
It was the custom of His parents to go to Jerusalem every year
to celebrate the festival of Passover. When Jesus was 12 while
at the celebration He was separated from His parents and stayed
behind while they thought He was in their group. After not
being able to locate Him they returned to Jerusalem and began
to search for Him. After 3 days they located Him in the Temple
talking with the elders for they were amazed at His understanding.
Mary asked Him why He had treated them like this and that they had
been very worried. He answered "Why were you searching for Me? Did
you not know that I must be in My Father's house. Then He went home
with them and was obedient to them. His mother cherished all these
things in her heart. And as Jesus increased, he grew in wisdom and
in stature, and in divine and human favor.
This story is from Luke 2.41-52. (from Lourdes)
Now the cousin of Jesus, whose mother Mary had visited during her
pregnancy, John the Baptist was preparing the way for the beginning
of Christ's ministry. He fulfilled the words of Isaiah (40.3-5)
"The voice of one crying out in the wilderness;
Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill
shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough ways made smooth;
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Now as I stated earlier that I am here to lay the foundation
that the 2 servants of the Master shall finish as they fulfill
what is said of them in the eleventh chapter of the Book of
Revelation, for some the final preparations for the return of
the Master, our Lord Jesus Christ. A final note is that my middle
name is Jon.
From Matthew (3.13-17) the story of His baptism by John. When
John sees Jesus coming he says, it is I who need baptizing by
you. But Christ answers, "Let it be so now ; for it is proper
for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then as Jesus
came up out of the water the heavens opened and the Spirit of
God descended upon Him like a dove. And a voice from heaven
said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."
Jesus then goes into the desert and is tempted by Satan and
fasts for forty days. Then returning he begins his ministry
by picking up followers. Here is a story of one of his early
miracles which also shows His love and respect for His mother
Mary at the wedding feast at Cana from John 2.1-11.
Now Mary and Jesus and His disciples had been invited to a
wedding and while there the wine ran out. Then Mary told her
son Jesus "They have no wine.". He replied, "Woman what concern
is that to you and Me? My hour is not yet come." Then Mary
tells the servants to do whatever He tells them to do. He
then instructs them to fill six stone water jars with water
and to draw some out and take it to the chief steward. Who
not knowing where it came from told the groom that it is
customary to serve the good wine first and then the inferior,
but you have saved the best for last.
I told this story not only to show Christ's great love for
His mother but also to bring home another point. That being
while you should not be a drunk and if you are you need to
deal with it, but that it is not a sin to have a drink. I
have met people who play the righteous and put down those who
do drink while they lie and steal from children.
Now I said I took one of my goals as a child from Christ's
teachings and it was from the Sermon on the Mount, and the
list of the Beatitudes, from the Gospel of Matthew 5.1-12.
When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up the mountain; and after
He sat down, His disciples came to him. Then He began to
speak, and taught them saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs
is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they
will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will
inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will
receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they
will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will
be called the children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness sake, for Theirs is
the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when people revile you and
persecute you and utter all kinds of
evil against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is
great in Heaven, for in the same way
they persecuted the prophets who were
before you.
The disciples asked , "Who is the greatest in the kingdom
of Heaven?" Jesus called a child over and set the child before
them and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become
like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the
kingdom of Heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name
welcomes me. From Matthew 18.1-5.
The Pharisees asked Jesus to test Him, "What is the greatest
commandment?" He replied:
"You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart, and with all your soul,
and all your mind." (Deut. 6.5)
This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is
like it; "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." On these
two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Mt 22.34-40).
This story starts in all 4 Gospels about the feeding of the
5 thousand and leads into the teaching about the bread of life
which I'll take from John 6.47-58, 60-63.
A large crowd kept following Him because of the signs that
he was doing for the sick. So Jesus went up the side of a
mountain and sat down there with His disciples. When He looked
up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, Jesus said to
Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for all these people to eat?"
He said this to test him, for He knew what He was going to do.
Philip answered him "Six months wages would not buy enough
bread for each of them to get a little." Then Andrew, Peter's
brother said to Him, "There is a boy here who has five barley
loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?"
Now there was a great deal of grass and they had them sit
down about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves
and after giving thanks, He distributed them to those who
were seated; so also the fish as much as they wanted. When
they were satisfied , He told His disciples, "Gather up the
fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." So they
gathered them up, and from the fragments of the 5 barley
loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled 12 baskets.
When the people saw the sign that He had done, they began to
say, "This is indeed the Prophet who is come into the world."
When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take
Him by force to make Him King, He withdrew again to the
mountain by Himself.
Now a little later He is teaching about the "Bread of Heaven"
and talking about the manna that God gave to the Israelites
while they wandered in the desert with Moses. Then He said
to them that He was the "Bread of Life", but they did not
understand. Very truly, Christ said, "whoever believes has
eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate
manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread
that comes down from Heaven, so that one may eat of it and
not die. I am the living bread that came down from Heaven.
Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread
that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh"
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, " How can
this man give us His flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them,
"Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son
of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Those
who eat My flesh and drink My blood have eternal life, and
I will raise them up on the last day; for My flesh is the
true food and My blood is the true drink. Those who eat My
flesh and drink My blood abide in Me, and I in them. Just
as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the
Father, so whoever eats Me will live because of Me. This
is the bread that came down from Heaven, not like that
which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who
eats this bread will live forever."
When many of His disciples heard it, they said "This
teaching is difficult; who can accept it?" But Jesus,
being aware that His disciples were complaining about
it, said to them, "Does this offend you? Then what if
you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where He
was before? It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh
is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are
spirit and life. ..."
Thomas said to Jesus "Lord, we do not know where you are
going. How can we know the way?" Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through Me. If you know Me you will
know my Father also." From John 14.5-7.
Most of the Pharisees of the day were nothing but power hungry
hypocrites. With preserving there own status as their primary goal,
not growing and accepting the truth that He was a very blessed man,
the Messiah, that God had sent to redeem us of our sins. He
performed Miracles that only Moses comes close to. But he fulfilled
the scriptures as had been prophesied about Him that He would be
rejected and handed over to the nonbelievers and put to death.
Then on the third day that He would rise from the dead, all of
which happened.
(from Lourdes)
He is the light of the world the way to eternal life and happiness
for all His Father's children which is everyone on earth. Through
Him we can find salvation and forgiveness for our sins as we are
just weak human beings who are prone to making mistakes. He came
into the world to take the sins of the world upon His shoulders and
to show that our Almighty Father had reconciled Himself to our infallibility
and to show us the path to salvation. The day of reckoning is at hand.
He has spoken to me a few times, twice during the period of the
others which was from 95-97, and once in 2000. The first time was in
the evening on Thanksgiving in 95, He told me "My greatest hardship
was that I couldn't have a family as a man." Part of what he said is
written in chapter 19 Rev. and what He said brought together parts
of the story which I didn't understand from my childhood especially
the first lesson in fourth grade. From the Rev. 19.7:
Let us rejoice and exult
and give Him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb
has come,
and His bride has made
herself ready;
He was allowed to marry Mary Magdalene and consummate the
marriage before ascending back to Heaven. Mary gave birth to a little
girl. Their children are numbered like the stars of heaven and Michel
was Their first son and I'm Their second to prepare the world for the
return of Jesus Christ as stated in Revelation 20 (1-6). Though it also
was a bit much for me to think about who had just spoken to me, as this
was the first time. I put down my pen and didn't write anymore for
several months as this whole thing has been overwhelming and I am just
a guy. Though I had put the pen down, that winter the story was
RAMMED down my throat, leaving by Spring, a sheet of paper with all
the lines filled with a word or phrase to be expanded on.
The second time was during prayers a month or so after the first
time and while asking Him to pray for me to His father, He said,
"Our", and that was it. The last time was in the Spring of 2000
while praying and asking for Their help. I heard Him saying to the
Others (God & Shekhina) "he doesn't know what he is asking", I
said, how could I, a child, know and understand this deal. I didn't
make the earth, it is not a story I made, I'm just a flea who had
a ton dumped on me and that is all the more reason that I need
Your help. I finished my prayers and said a Rosary for the
consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which
is what she asked for in the Fatima Revelations (7/13/1917).
He is the center around which all as been centered, Their first
creation, neither male nor female, just a Divine Spirit. The greatest
man that will ever walk the face of the earth, and as such He is and
will be the greatest King of all time on earth, and His Kingdom shall
have no end.
From Daniel 7.9-14
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of
days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair
of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery
flame, and His wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued
and came forth from before Him, thousand thousands ministered
unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him,
the judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld then
because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake, I
beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and
given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts
they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged
for a season and a time. I saw in the night visions, and behold,
one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came
to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And
there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve Him, His dominion
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Amen
