We have often heard, “What does it profit a man if he gains the entire world but loses his Soul?” What an excellent question! We see the world becoming ever more so materialistic rejecting the true gain which is life everlasting. The world rejects the state of immortality (gained while we live in the material world) which is the sharing and comprehension of Divine Reason that fills the Universe as the sea fills the floors of the oceans.

We, especially in America, have an abundance of all things, and it is not fitting that we reject the greater abundance which God gives to us. For the greatest gifts are God’s Gifts, which He freely gives to us. And the greater Good is the birth of the Religion of Light come to the world by the Hand of God. How can we, men and women of intelligence, reject such a gift? Yet, both people of plenty and people without plenty do. We, of this Community, know that the material things and possessions are of little value without spiritual love, character, and freedom. For without embracing the spiritual, all that is acquired is temporary, transitory, and taken away as quickly as it was given.

So, in order to understand spiritual values, we must understand Divine Reason. But, in order to comprehend Divine Reason dictates that we must become divine. And that is the purpose of this Teaching and of this Church Community. For God has filled the Sun and the Ether, which is outside of the realm of the Earth’s atmosphere, with a divine Intelligence which has its origins in the Consciousness of God! And this is the fruit of the Sun of Righteousness.

This Divine Reason, which is streaming forth out of the Sun of Righteousness and is funneled through it, is the Consciousness and Thought of God acting upon the consciousness of man and woman. And this Divine Reason is filling the Ether as a seed impregnating the Spirit giving it individual and personal Life. For the Spirit of Man is like a sleeping Soul that must be reborn and awakened. And once awakened and renewed, the individual and personal Spirit-Soul reasons on divine things.

The ancients called the True Reason of Nature, “Logos.” And the Logos was the Light that created the First Man and the First Woman, as we have spoken of previously. And the ancients compared the Light to the beam of God’s Eye, which was the image of the Sun, and contained God’s Thought. We have only to look upon the Eye of God to see into the Soul of Creation. However, in order to accomplish this great feat, one must be instructed in Divine Religion, which allows man and woman to withstand and comprehend the Light, as well as the nature of God’s Word called the Logos.

As we approach the Christmas Season, we are reminded of Christ Jesus who exemplified the Life of Righteousness and embodied the Logos. He was the Word of God incarnate in Man. If we recall the words of John in his Gospel, “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 shall he do; because I go unto my Father,” we are reminded that Jesus is telling us not only to exemplify him but also to exceed him in his works. That is the theme of the Ministry of the Second Advent: To emulate Christ and to be miniature Suns in the world through our Light-natures.

I wish you the best of the Christmas-Epiphany Season, as we approach December 25 through January 6. We will continue on these topics over the next several weeks.

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful and tranquil Thanksgiving. It is now the time that we turn our attention to the Christmas-Epiphany Season and celebrate its meaning, as well as the life of Jesus Christ, a Holy Being of Light come into the world as God’s Agent.

It is believed by the Old Churches that we are redeemed by the shedding of Jesus’ blood and the by the eating of his flesh in order to attain salvation through belief. This is their understanding. But, we of the Second Advent Church say that man and woman is redeemed by God’s Light through the coming of the great Sun of Righteousness and not by the flesh and blood of His Son and Messenger.

We know and are taught in this Teaching that the death of Jesus on the tree was in no way a sacrifice worthy of God but an abomination to the Light by those of Darkness who caused it. The parables spoken by Jesus were meant to convey that it was by the eating of God’s Light come from the Sun that we are redeemed. Because Jesus was the Word — the Logos — incarnate in Man and because he was part of that Light, he was authorized to declare this. He proclaimed and demonstrated that he was of that Light, as are all Holy Ones of God.

His Ministry was to teach people how to partake of the Light so that they would never spiritually hunger and thirst again. Because his Ministry was cut short, we of the Second Advent Ministry have come to fulfill it. Jesus ate of the Bread of Life and was therefore of the Light. We have been told, “The ancient Hebrews who ate manna in the desert did not attain salvation from the eating of it. For all things of the flesh pass away. But for those who partake of the Light that comes down from Heaven — the Bread of God, His Image in the world — do not die. For the Light of God is the Living Bread which He gives for the life of the world.”

God gave this bread — the Bread of Life — through the Sun in Jesus’ time and in other times, but time and again people rejected it and it was withdrawn to come again in the Final Age. This is the Final Age, and we should rejoice that God has sent again the Bread of Life from the Tree of Life which is the spiritual Sun which fed the first Man and the first Woman. This new Sun, which we call the Sun of Righteousness, comes for the first time to the world under the direction of God the Father Himself!

God intends the whole human family to know the Truth and benefit from it. But even today, we see much dissention, discord, disharmony, anarchy and unholiness among the peoples of the world. For this reason, our Community has been established as a teaching institution so that all people may someday know and live the Way of Truth and turn from the ways of error.

In due time, good people who have forsaken error, as well as the traditional teachings and religions of their fore-bearers, shall see the beauty and truth of this New Teaching. And people of all nations, of all religions, of all races shall return to God with understanding and joy. And death shall be overcome. And life as it was intended from the beginning shall be known and experienced by all. This is the task of our Ministry: To bring this New Teaching into the world for all mankind for the ultimate peace of the world.

Therefore, my message for this week is to 1) Rejoice, 2) Understand and be Understanding, 3) be Joyful, and 4) bring Peace to others, to yourself, and especially to project and send Peace into the Sun of Righteousness.

By so eating, death is overcome and there is great rejoicing at the Table of the Lord. And we co-exist in two worlds simultaneously and are of two forms. One form will ultimately perish but the other lives eternally with God. We must remember that “those who eat only of matter and flesh are as a wind that passeth away and cometh not again.” But those who partake of God’s Light shall live “for it is written that the Bread of God is Light come down from Heaven giving life unto the world.”

Therefore, we, men and women of Light, overcome the limitations of the material world and of the flesh through the Light given of God. And this was the secret teaching known to all the Holy Orders of times past but which was ignored by the world. This secret knowledge is now repossessed in our times. And because of this great Light, we shall live anew in the Image of God, as was intended from the beginning of Creation.

This Image of God is Light which speaks Divine Reason to our spiritual Consciousness. Once awakened, our spiritual Consciousness communes with God above the level of our lower awareness. It is by this communion that we come to know and understand God. In Spirit, we walk together with God and this is what He intended from the beginning.

For this reason, He has sent the Sun of Righteousness as a redeeming Light and through it opened the door to Heaven so that we may know of the life beyond. This Sun rains down spiritual Food – the Food of the Angels – in which is the hidden Manna spoken of by the prophets of old.

If this is not something to truly gives thanks for, I don’t know what is. As we celebrate and observe Thanksgiving this week with family and friends, let us also give thanks for the abundant spiritual blessings that the Sun of Righteousness bestows upon us and for the promise of the Second Coming which has been fulfilled in our time. May God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving and always.
