Inspired Talks 2

 

In the first five verses of John is the whole essence of Christianity;

each verse is full of the profoundest philosophy.

 

The perfect never becomes imperfect. It is in the darkness, but is not

affected by the darkness. God's mercy goes to all, but is not affected

by their wickedness. The sun is not affected by any disease of our eyes,

which may make us see it distorted. In the twenty ninth verse 'taketh

away the sin of the world' means that Christ would show us the way to

become perfect. God becomes Christ to show man his true nature, that we

too are God. We are human coverings over the Divine, but as the divine

Man, Christ and we are one.
