Sending Out the Seventy-two

CHAPTER 18

Sending Out the Seventy-two

About transmitting the truth (3). Conduct as a guest (6).
Criteria for people to live together; the aim: selfless love (10-12)

1. Afterwards, the Lord called seventy-two additional disciples and sent them, two by two, before Him into every city and place of the tribes where He Himself wanted to go.

2. Therefore, He said to them, "The harvest is truly great, but the labourers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into His harvest.

3. Go your ways, behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor bag, nor shoes and greet no man on the way.” (Chap. 18:1-3)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

In the time when I, Christ, went over this earth as Jesus, the simple people used to walk; they neither rode nor drove. The feet carried the body from place to place. The one who carried along a lot of weight progressed but slowly. The words, "Carry neither purse, nor bag, nor shoes and greet no man on the way” mean to take only so much along on your travels that you may go forward on the path and reach those who already bear spiritual fruits and also those whose spiritual ground is yet to be tilled. Even the thieves will then see that there is nothing to be gained from you and will not waylay you.

"... and greet no man on the way” means not to hold useless conversations, but to bring the salvation of life, the truth, to the people. Keep going, conscious of the goal, for the time in which I will abide among men is limited.

4. And whenever you enter into a house, say first: Peace be in this house. And if a spirit of peace is there, your peace will rest upon it; if not, it will return to you again. (Chap. 18:4)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Enter a house only when you yourselves have peace. Thus, carry your peace from house to house. Where it is not accepted, it leaves with you again. There where peace, the truth of life, is not accepted, you should no longer speak about peace and truth. Everyone has his free will to accept or reject the peace from God, the truth. For this reason, do not argue about the truth. Bring it! When peace, the truth, is not accepted, then carry the gifts of salvation to another house. Thus, you maintain peace within yourselves.

5. And whatever city you enter, and they receive you therein, eat what is set before you, but not what was alive. And heal the sick who are there and say to them: The Kingdom of God has come near.

6. And remain in this house, eat and drink what they set before you without the shedding of blood; for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Do not go from one house to another. (Chap. 18:5-6)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

"... eat what is set before you, but not what was alive”, "... eat and drink what they set before you without the shedding of blood” - in both statements lies the following meaning: When they shed the blood of an animal for you, then refuse it in time, before it is led to the slaughterhouse for you; for no animal shall be sacrificed - neither for God nor for men. Human and animal sacrifices are an abomination before God. God, the One, spoke against animal and human sacrifices in the Old Covenant as well as in the New Covenant.

However, when a meal which contains meat and fish is served to you, and when the food was already prepared before your coming, then eat of it and offer these few bites in prayer to the Father-Mother-God. His power then transforms the lower into the higher. Remember: It is what comes out of the mouth that can become a sin, not what goes into the mouth and is given to the body in the awareness of the life from God.

7. But whenever you enter into a city and they do not receive you, go your way through the streets saying, "We shake off on you even the very dust of your city which has clung to us; however, be sure that the Kingdom of God has come near to you. (Chap. 18:7)

I Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Words are symbols. For this reason, I want to correct also the words written in the book called "The Gospel of Jesus” as far as they should be understood at the present time [1989], for words have different meanings from generation to generation.

The one who is not well received in the town should shake the dust off his feet. That is, he should go on and nevertheless leave behind the blessing of God. For the positive powers of positive people continue to be effective in those people, places and towns to which they were brought. And thus, many a one who is spiritually mature will receive the fruit, the truth. It flows, so to speak, to those who are from the truth. For the eternal truth is the Kingdom of God, which comes to those who long for the Kingdom of God and fulfil the laws of life.

8. Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if such mighty works had happened in Tyre and Sidon as those which have happened to you, they would have repented a long time ago in sackcloth and ashes. But the sentence shall be better for them on the Day of Judgement than for you.

9. And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, you will be thrust down to hell. Those who hear you hear Me, too. And those who despise you despise Me, too, and Him who has sent Me. But let everyone realize this in his own mind.”

10. And again Jesus said to them, "Be merciful, so that you receive mercy. Forgive others and you will be forgiven. You will be measured by the same standards you use to measure others.

11. And as you do unto others, so will it be done unto you. And as you give, so will it be given unto you. And as you judge, so will you be judged. And as you serve others, so will you be served.

12. For God is just and rewards each one according to his works. You will reap what you sow.” (Chap. 18:8-12)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Take care that you do not fall into temptation! Treasure Me in your hearts, then you will give from the eternal truth. For I have come to teach people the truth and to prepare them, so that they can actualize the law of God, which alone is the life, the truth. The truth is the life. God is the truth, the life. His law, the truth, the life, is selfless love. Heed this, and you will not fall into temptation.

Now about the words which are in the book called "The Gospel of Jesus”:

"Those who hear you hear Me, too. And those who despise you despise Me, too, and Him who has sent Me. But let everyone realize this in his own mind. ... Be merciful, so that you receive mercy. Forgive others and you will be forgiven. You will be measured by the same standards you use to measure others. And as you do unto others, so will it be done unto you. And as you give, so will it be given unto you. And as you judge, so will you be judged. And as you serve others, so will you be served. For God is just and rewards every one according to his works. You will reap what you sow.”

From generation to generation, these indications and admonishments hold true for all people, until that kind of people who live the law of selfless love has emerged. Then these indications and admonishments will no longer be necessary.

However, until this kind of people of Inner Life has grown out of the darkness and stands in the light of truth, these indications and admonishments will continue to hold true. They lead to the law of selfless love, to the truth, to the light that radiates in and through the people in the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ. It is the light of the truth, the I Am, Christ.
