Reference to the usurpation and abuse of the
Shepherd's role (1-16)
1. One day a shepherd passed by, driving his flock to the fold. And Jesus took one of the young lambs in His arms and spoke to it lovingly and pressed it to His bosom. And He said to His disciples:
2. "I Am the Good Shepherd and know My sheep, and they know Me. Just as the Father of all knows Me, in the same way I know My sheep and give My life for the sheep. And I still have other sheep which are not of this fold; and I also have to bring them here, and they will hear My voice and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.
3. I lay down My life, that I may take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have the power to lay down My body and I have the power to take it up again.
4. I Am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd tends His flock; He takes the lambs in His arms and carries them in His bosom and gently leads those which are with young. Yes, the Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
5. But the hireling, who is not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and flees. And the wolf seizes and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees; for he is a hireling and does not take care of the sheep.
6. I Am the door: All those who enter through Me will be safe and will go in and out and find pasture. The evil one comes only to steal, to kill and to destroy. I Am come that they may have life and abundance.
7. But the one who enters through the door is a shepherd of sheep, to whom the door-keeper opens, and the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His sheep by name and leads them out, and He knows their number.
8. And when He has let out His sheep, He goes before them and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice. And they do not follow a stranger, but flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
9. Jesus told them this parable; but they did not understand what He spoke to them about. Then Jesus said to them again, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them the eternal life. And they will never perish again, and no one will tear them out of My hand.
10. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no one can pluck them out of the hand of My Father. I and My Father are one.”
11. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus asked them, "I have done to you many good works from My Father, for which of these works do you stone Me?”
12. The Jews answered Him, "We do not stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because, being a man, you make Yourself equal to God.” Jesus answered them, "Have I said that I Am equal to God? No, but I Am one with God. Is it not written in the scriptures: I have said, you are gods?
13. If He calls them gods, those to whom the word of God came, and if the scripture cannot be broken, would you then say to Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme God', because I say, 'I Am the Son of God and so one with the All-Father'?
14. If I do not do the works of My Father, then do not believe Me; but if I do them, then believe the works, even if you do not want to believe Me, so that you may recognize and believe that the Spirit of the great Father is in Me and I Am in My Father.”
15. This is why they sought once more to capture Him; but He escaped their hands and went again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John first baptized; and He remained there.
16. And many came to Him, saying, "John did no
miracles, but everything that John has said of this man is true. He is the prophet who
should come.” And many believed in Him. (Chap. 55:1-16)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The Good Shepherd knows all His sheep, for they are a part of Him. And the sheep which know the voice of the Shepherd follow Him.
The voice of the Good Shepherd, Christ, is the eternal law of love. The one who keeps the law of love knows the this law and thus the voice of the law, the voice of the Shepherd, Christ.
As Jesus of Nazareth, I gave My earthly life for all men. As the Christ of God, I surrendered My divine heritage to be the support and the way to the Father's house for all souls and men.
Since the Redeemer-spark, a light-ray of My spiritual heritage, now shines in all souls and men, then all will find the way again to the eternal Father. When redemption has been completed in the soul and the spirit being has returned into the inner temple, then it brings the light-ray, the Redeemer-spark, back into the primordial substance in which My spiritual heritage builds itself up again.
The sheep which do not yet know My voice and still seek their salvation in the pastures of the world, thus being servile to the insinuations of the satanic, also bear the Redeemer-spark in themselves. They, too, will return to the Father's house and will bring the Redeemer-spark into the primordial substance again - if they awaken and turn back through the strength and power of Christ, by taking the path to the Inner Life and by finding their pastures in the law of life. They will then hear My voice, the law, and follow Me, the law.
I, the Christ of God, go after each sheep, for every sheep is a part of Me. No man and no soul is lost forever.
"I have the power to lay down My body and I have the power to take it up again” means that when the time has come for the man, Jesus, the Christ will lay down His earthly body and will again be in His divine body. The divine body is the immaculate body, which is without sin. After the passing of My earthly body, I walked once again as the Christ of God, the divine, immaculate body; for as Jesus, I fulfilled the will of My Father and was without sin.
The words "which are with young” mean those who are filled by fulfilling the eternal law.
The hireling is the person who wants to appropriate the sheep or wants to hire them or to take care of them. No matter how, the sheep do not belong to him; he cannot be the shepherd. Christ alone is the true Shepherd; He alone is the way into the Father's house - for He is the light and the lamp of the soul on the way to the eternal life.
The one who does not know the way into the eternal life cannot lead the sheep to Me, Christ, either. When the wolf, the satanic, breaks into the flock to lead the sheep astray and scatter them, the hireling gives up and flees, because he does not know the way to life, the law of life. However, the one who knows the law of life and of love knows the way there, because he has already walked it - since I, Christ, have led him within to the Father, and he lives in the law of God by fulfilling it selflessly every day.
Such a light-filled soul and such a light-filled person then become a guide who shows My sheep the way to Me, the Christ, and brings the Good Shepherd, the law of God, the voice of love, close to them. He himself will not be a shepherd nor will he lead the sheep to the Father's house, but only a guide who points towards Me, the Christ. He can accompany the sheep all the way to Me. Thus, he is only one who accompanies, but not the shepherd.
Only those who place themselves above Me, the Christ, presume to be shepherds of My sheep, believing that I have entrusted them with the authority for this. Just as there is only o n e Holy Father, the Father in heaven, the Creator of life, there is only o n e Shepherd: Christ, the Redeemer of all souls and men. He is the only way to the heart of God.
I, Christ, the law of life, Am also the portal, the door and the door-keeper to the eternal life. The one who goes through the door into the Kingdom of God enters the eternal life through Me. For no one comes to the Father but through Me, the Christ of God, the Co-Regent of the heavens, who lives in the Father. I, the Christ of God, bring back My sheep into the eternal Being; for I know them all, because through the redemption, I have received them in Myself.
I Am the door and the door-keeper and the Shepherd. The one who truly follows Me knows My voice.
When the sheep follow Me by fulfilling the law of life and of love, they unfold the gift of discernment between the voice of the eternal law and the strange voice which entices them and wants to lead them astray with enticements. The evil one cannot lead My sheep astray any longer, because they recognize him. He prowls around them and wants to woo them away with his honey-sweet voice, but they actualize and fulfil the law of love. Thus, they are secure in Me.
So, the one who actualizes and fulfils the laws of God hears My voice and will himself become the voice of the law through Me, the Christ. For I lead the sheep to the eternal law. And when they have become the law, they are the voice of the law, of the life and of the love. Then, there is no need anymore to hear My voice; they have become My voice.
The one who does not know himself throws stones at his neighbour. Many Jews did not recognize Me, the Christ of God in Jesus, because they did not know themselves. Since they themselves did not know who they were, they had innumerable excuses for their faults, which I showed them in the mirror of their own thinking and acting. They sought only their physical well-being and their earthly prestige. Since they were concerned only about themselves, they therefore interpreted the law of God as it seemed right to them.
In today's time [1989], the pharisees and many scribes who now call themselves theologians do the same. They interpret the book which they call the Bible, and which contains parts of the eternal truth, according to their own conceptions and discretion. In their opinion, the one who speaks against their theological fables is, still today, in league with Satan. In the present time [1989] too, they take up stones and throw them at those who strive to fulfil the will of God: They slander, they distort the truth and ridicule the word of God. They despise and discriminate against those people who do not follow their doctrines, just as the pharisees did in My time as Jesus of Nazareth.
Recognize that the word of God can never flow through the mouth of sinners. The one who is not a channel of love is a channel of evil. The one who is a channel of love, by being for his neighbour and not against him, hears the voice of love. But the one who is against his neighbour is for the evil and also hears the voice of evil, the various insinuations of the darkness which even takes My name, Christ, in vain.
Many speak about the gospels and do not keep the truth which is in them. They even take their gospel texts as a basis for deriving their own regulations. It is the church institutions which make regulations, but not God.
Thus, the pioneers for the New Era have to struggle with similar satanic methods as I did, as Jesus of Nazareth. And so, My word is again fulfilled: As they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you, too. The one who not only speaks about God but strives to do the will of God will suffer persecution, for he is a thorn in the eye of the adversary.
As long as man lives in the morass of his human ego, he looks only at the morass and does not perceive the light behind matter. For this reason, many people do not know the works of the Lord. They see only their own morass and are therefore of the opinion that all have to wade through the same morass of the human ego. The truth is thereby misunderstood, and God's work, the truth, is despised.
The one who does not respect himself as a being from God despises himself and
despises his neighbour, too. But the one who fulfils the will of God respects his life,
because it is from God. He lives consciously in the Father, and the Father lives and acts
through him.
