<1>They called
Christ
the prince of the devils
(Beelzebub). So they would call his disciples names also and would
persecute them for his sake. <2>He had not committed any
crime. He had only said the truth.
|
"Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be
known." (Matthew 10:26)
|
<3>Be of good cheer because the truth will
prevail eventually.
|
"What I tell you in
darkness, that speak
ye in light: and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)
|
<4>It is true that you are ignorant but if
you let Him speak through you, you will say the truth "in
darkness, that speak
ye in
light," and you will
preach the truth openly, "upon the housetops."
|
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are
not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in
hell." (Matthew 10:28)
|
<5>Fear the power of the
tama guna in the
universe (God) which can
kill the
Soul and body through the
power of
ignorance (hell).
Man cannot kill the
Soul, because as it is
said in the
Bhagavad-Gita, the sword cannot touch it (B.G. 2:11).
|
"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and
one of them shall not fall on the ground without your
Father."
"But the very hairs of your head
are all numbered."
"Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than
many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31) |
<6>Know that all is done by Him and put your
trust in Him, because He is more concerned about you than many other
things in the universe.
|
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my
Father which is in
heaven."
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will
I also deny before my Father
which is in
heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33)
|
<7>Whoever overcomes the fear of men, stands
for truth, and confesses the truth without fear, will be saved. But
those who are ashamed of saying the truth because of the fear of men
will be denied entering
heaven.
<8>Only those who overcome this world and all
its fears will find the way. Those who are even slightly attached to
it will be lost in it.
|
"Think not that
I am
come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword."
(Matthew 10:34)
|
<9>If people truly follow
Christ's teachings and
come to
Pure
Consciousness, there will be no choice but to have a great
battle between those who have reached the truth and those who follow
false teachings. <10>That is the reason why each time an
Avatar comes unto the
world there will be a great
tribulation
("sword") for
purification of
the world, and many will be saved through it. As it is explained in
Revelation of The Revelation, after each Prophet and/or religion
in the
Eternal
Divine Path, great upheavals come to the earth, "...I come
not to send peace, but a sword."
|
"For I am
come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law."
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household." (Matthew 10:35-36) |
<11>These things all happen when a new era is
coming, and is called
tribulation.
|
"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of
me."
"And he that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."
"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he
that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 10:37-39)
|
<12>Those who want to be
born again and follow the truth (the
Messiah) should crucify their
false egos. Their
false egos should die before they can be
born again to their higher selves. To achieve this a man should
overcome this world and love the truth more than anything else. He
should take his cross (sacrifice)
and follow the truth, and in the process crucify his lower nature (false
ego). <13>Whoever finds his life in his lower nature will
lose being
born again, and whoever loses his
false ego will find the everlasting life and will be
born again.
|
"He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me."
"He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a
prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward." (Matthew 10:40-41)
|
<14>Those who receive disciples of a person
in
Pure Consciousness (son
of God) also receive the son, and whoever receives the son,
receives the
Father.
<15>A person who can see a Prophet and
realize his Divinity, is at the same consciousness as the Prophet.
This is true about all people. Those who see the truth and
righteousness in others are at the same level as they.
<16>The man whose
mind
is crude cannot see the
Light.
|
"And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of
these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a
disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his
reward." (Matthew 10:42)
|
<17>When a
service
is done with a humble manner, for the sake of serving the Lord, "in
the name of a disciple," he shall "in no wise lose his reward."
<18>Serve
God
through serving His creation, and you can be sure that you are
serving Him. This is a path to salvation.
