I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet, that is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

My word, which is the resurrection and the life, shall not pass away because life is eternal. You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is.

Your resurrection is your reawakening. I am the model for rebirth, but rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your mind of what is already in it. God placed it there Himself, and so it is true forever. I believed in it, and therefore accepted it as true for me.

I am your resurrection and your life. You live in me because you live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in God?

Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished, and it has been accomplished in you. This is as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which knows no time and no exceptions.

A little while and you will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I will awaken you as surely as I awakened myself, for I awoke for you. In my resurrection is your release. Our mission is to escape from crucifixion, not from redemption. Trust in my help, for I did no walk alone, and I will walk with you as our Father walked with me.

Let the dead and gone be peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has come to take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death.

Be you then witness to the miracle, and not the laws of sin. There is no need to suffer any more. But there is need that you may be healed, because the suffering and sorrow of the world have made it deaf to its salvation and deliverance.

The resurrection of the world awaits your healing and your happiness, that you may demonstrate the healing of the world.

I can heal you because I know you. I know your value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole.

Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be saved if you are not?

God has one Son, and He is the resurrection and the life. His will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth.

Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed, and joyfully released from guilt.

Now do we lift our resurrected minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has restored our sanity to us.

My resurrection comes again each time I lead a brother safely to the place at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time a brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. I have forgotten no one.

Help me now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another choice with me.

You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands through which I save the world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we go together.

Take your brother's hand, for this is not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you, and you with me. Our Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not be one with you?

"Be in my mind, my Father, when I wake, and shine on me throughout the day today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let me not forget my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me, and always will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love. And let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your Son."
