6…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 10 Beleivest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me…. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these he shall do….15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [John 14]
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments , and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit shall remain….17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you….26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: [John 15]
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them….7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come….8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. [John 16]
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may also glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power…that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God….4 I have glorified thee on the earth…. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. [John 17]
Therefore, in commemorating the traditional Easter Season, we do so in anticipation of True Easter, which we will celebrate in the Second Advent Church next Wednesday on April 18, according to the solar calendar. We participate in the glorious communion of the Angels of Light, joining with Jesus and the Essaei and all those of other religions who have been reborn into the Community of Light, which is the resurrection of the Spirit that comes about through participation in the glorious and Messianic Communion with the Celestial Christ.
