To Rest And Joy

The Twelve Apostles

General Spiritual Blindness, Ignorance And Laziness
And Jesus looked upon the multitudes who pressed about for selfish gain. The men of learning and of wealth, of reputation and of power, were there. But they knew not the Christ. Their eyes were blinded by the misleading glitter of their selfish and worldly desires. They could not see the king. And though they walked within the light, they groped about in dark - a darkness like the night of death.
And Jesus cast his eyes to heaven and said, “I thank thee, Holy One of heaven and earth, that while the light is hidden from the wise and great, it is revealed to babes.”

Then turning to the multitudes He said, “I come to you not in the name of man, nor in a strength of the flesh. The wisdom and the virtue that I bring to you are from above. They are the wisdom and the virtue of the God whom you worship. The words I speak are not the words of an ordinary man. I give to you the words of eternal life.

At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, God the Father, the Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the proud and wealthy, and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him

The statement does not mean that it is only Jesus that knows and sees God Almighty, because the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven know God and see Him face to face. What Jesus was saying was that whoever that wants to see God must become as God. The person must become perfect and holy as God is perfect and holy. The person has to attain the spiritual level of a son of God. This is because man is a God-in-seed form, sent to God’s school, which is this earth, to learn how to live in the kingdom of God His Father.

The children of God can attain the level of God by studying Spiritual Science and Yahweh's Book Of Life, by keeping the laws of God and by observing all the necessary rites of holiness. And by observing quiet time and meditation. Unfortunately, people do not do these things, and their religious leaders are ignorant of these very important teachings and factors. The religious leaders do not know the meaning of purity, righteousness and holiness or Truth.

Therefore, the religious leaders are ignorant noisemakers and hypocrites, who are misleading the equally ignorant masses. The more people neglect to do all these needful, the more they are backsliding in spirit, even so without knowing it. God gave the Covenant System Of Worship to humanity through Holy Moses, to make things very easy for people, but humanity have abandoned the covenant laws of God, giving many reasons and excuses, which are irrelevant excuses in heaven.

Jesus Gives True Rest

And Jesus said, “Come to me all you who labour and pull heavy loads and I will give you aid. Put on the yoke of Christ with me. It does not burden. It is an easy yoke. Together we will pull the load of life with ease. And so rejoice.”

“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Explanations:

Majority of humanity do not involve themselves in the prayers and worship, and they do not participate in things of God. They are actively engaged in their various fields of human endeavour. Many people who have enough for themselves feel that it is not even necessary to serve and worship God, and they are quick and bold to advise the young ones against serving and worshipping God. They advise the young ones to first go for education and then get employment to make it in life. The fact is that by the time the youths finish their education, get employment and marry to raise their own families, they no longer have time for God or His vineyard.

That is why today, it seems that the number of ministers of God is far greater than the number of those who are not ministers of God. All the people who were sent to the world in past, who were destined to work as ministers of God, failed to do their works. And that is one of the reasons why the conditions of the world is getting worse and worse from day to day. And in this present generations, the amount of God’s work to be done for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of humanity is so much that everybody should be involved.

In the above statement, Jesus Christ makes it clear that people shall find peace, rest and joy only by following Himself and working with Him, and not by pursuing earthly gains to the neglect of the will of God. Besides, all those who fail to do God’s work, as was destined for them, shall encounter severe sufferings inside the hell fire, which sufferings for one minute makes all their earthly gains regrettable.
