Jesus Teaches about Marriage - Healing of the Ten Lepers

CHAPTER 42

Jesus Teaches about Marriage - Healing of the Ten Lepers

The inner union of marriage partners even in outer separation - Polarity and duality - Inner values (1-5). The state of celibacy (6-8). Lasting healing only through the actualization of the eternal laws (13)

1. After these sayings, Jesus left Galilee and came to the shore of the Jordan in Judea. And a great multitude followed Him, and He healed many there.

2. The pharisees also came to Him in order to tempt Him, and said to Him, "According to the law, is it right that a man cast out his wife for any reason?”

3. And He answered, saying to them, "Among some peoples, one man has many wives and casts out whom he will for a just reason. And among some peoples, the woman has many husbands and casts out whom she will, for a just reason. And in other peoples, the man is joined to one woman in mutual love, and this is the better and the highest way.

4. For have you not read that, in the beginning, God so created man, that there should be a male and a female, and said: This is why a man or a woman shall leave father and mother and cleave to his wife or her husband, and the two shall be one flesh?

5. And so they are now no longer two, but one flesh. For what God has joined together, shall no man put asunder.” (Chap. 42:1-5)

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

Verily, I say to you: Even if the reason to cast out one's neighbour seems to be justified, one has no right to exclude his neighbour from his life. May the one who is without fault throw the first stone.

The one who excludes his neighbour from his life locks his heart to the love of God.

This is why man should not cast his neighbour out, not even when there seems to be reason for this. He should forgive his neighbour and ask him for forgiveness. For there is no discord in which only one is guilty. There are always at least two people involved.

When people separate, no matter for what reasons, then it should only be an outer separation, but not a final break with each other.

The one who unites with his neighbour in his inner being, by clearing up everything that led to the dispute, remains linked with him, even when both are externally separated from one another.

A marriage with several women or men, in which a man has several wives or a woman has several husbands, is against the law of divine love.

God created polarity and duality in the pure Being. In the heavens, two divine beings unite in God and love one another in God. This union in God is God's act of creation. It comes from the principle of polarity and of duality. The two divine beings are eternally joined in God as children of God and thereby as brother and sister, too.

As in heaven, so shall it be on earth.

When two people promise faithfulness in marriage before God, or when several people join together in a community of brothers and sisters - people who cultivate absolute purity among themselves in order to fulfil common tasks or to fulfil the law - they should also remain faithful to one another. For the one who promises faithfulness before God makes a covenant of faithfulness with God, as well. The one who keeps this covenant of faithfulness will also see his neighbour as the temple of God and will also respect him.

The recognition of the inner values of a person lies in mutual respect. The one who learns to love the inner values in his neighbour also keeps the inner union with his neighbour. And the one who keeps this inner union is also linked with God.

Such a marriage or community of brothers and sisters lasts in this earthly existence and enters eternity, because God is the law of unity and of togetherness.

People who are willing to live in the Spirit of the Lord will fashion their earthly lives together, support each other and be devoted to one another in trusting, selfless love. Such a marriage or community of brothers and sisters does not lead to bindings, but it is the lived union with one another and with God.

Man and woman in marriage are of one spirit and of one flesh, and yet they are two souls.

After the death of their body, they live as brother and sister and, in the purifying process of evolution, return to their spiritual dual.

Heavenly duals are two beings from God who are eternally united in God. The male is the giving principle and the female is the receiving principle. They are joined in God as a heavenly pair, from eternity to eternity.

Each being and each person possesses the free will to freely decide, for or against the laws of God. It is in the law of life that partners in the marriages of this world do not separate. However, since each being and each soul - and also each person - has free will, it is up to them, also according to the law of free will, whether they should separate or not. In doing so, they mostly look at outer values, orient themselves to outer things or apply human criteria as their measure. Such a separation brings people into the law of sowing and reaping. The consequences of this human decision have to be borne by both, but the greater part rests on the one who separated from his neighbour out of human motives.

The one who separates from his marriage partner in order to live with someone else in a human way has committed adultery. The so-called partnerships, too, are subject to the same law. For this reason, pay attention to your thinking and acting before you enter into a marriage or partnership and examine yourselves, regarding the reasons and motives which induce you to do it. Is it your body that desires this? Is it the material goods which bring you together? Or is it selfless love which is active as a seed of Inner Life in the inner values of both who are striving for higher ideals and goals?

Recognize that on the higher levels of evolution to divine life, higher laws hold true. They also include marriages and families that strive towards higher ideals and values. They orient themselves to the inner values and the steps of evolution of the individual on the path to Me.

6. And they answered Him, "Then why did Moses command to give a letter of divorce?” And He said to them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses suffered that you get divorced from your wives, just as he also allowed you to eat meat in many cases; but it was not like this from the beginning.

7. And I say to you: Whoever casts his wife out, except that it be for a legitimate reason, and marries another in her place commits adultery.” And then the disciples said to Him, "If such is the case for a man with his wife, then it is not good that they marry.”

8. But He said to them, "Not everyone grasps the words, but only those to whom they are given. For there are celibates who were born as such from their mother's womb, and those who are made to be celibate by people, and those who make themselves celibate for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. May the one who can grasp it, grasp it.” (Chap. 42:6-8)

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

When a person is celibate, no matter for what reasons, then it lies in the self-chosen path of evolution or perhaps in the law of sowing and reaping. Celibacy can be due, for example, to the fact that in previous lives he caused many a thing which is coming into effect in this earthly existence and which he now has to bear so that his soul may mature.

If a person dissolves his marriage or does not get married, to thereby reach the Kingdom of Heaven, he is deceiving himself. He is bound to false conceptions, opinions and precepts. And the one who stays celibate for his own benefit sins against the law of unity.

Verily, I say to you, the union of two beings has been instituted by God. In heaven, the union of two spirit beings is called duality. On earth, the union of two people is called marriage or partnership. The union of two spirit beings or of two human beings is, at the same time, a covenant with God and means the joint fulfilment of the laws of God, of divine love and purity. The one who disregards this law by violating the unity in God, for example, through infidelity or claim of ownership, opposes the law of selfless love.

The one who thinks he will enter heaven by way of celibacy locks heaven to himself. He sees marriage as a desecration, because he looks only at the humanness, the sinfulness therein. The one who does not acknowledge the divine law in marriage sees only his own weaknesses and sins and thereby degrades what God has given: the union of two people which should be a covenant in and with God.

Recognize that no one can reach the Kingdom of Heaven who does not work on himself to transform, with Me, the Christ, the humanness into the spiritual-divine. This holds true for marriages and for celibates.

9. Then the little children came to Him, so that He lay His hands on them and bless them. But the disciples warded them off.

10. But Jesus said, "Let the little ones come to Me and do not forbid them, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” And He laid His hands on them and blessed them.

11. When He came to a city, He was met by ten lepers who were standing at the roadside. And they raised their voices and called, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

12. And when He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that they were cleansed as they went away. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and glorified God with a loud voice and fell on his face before Jesus and thanked Him. And he was a Samaritan.

13. And Jesus said, "But were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? These did not turn back and glorify God, as did this stranger.” And He said to him, "Arise and go your way. Your faith has made you whole.” (Chap. 42:9-13)

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

What happened to those who were healed and did not thank God for it?

Out of the love and grace of God, the Almighty, who acted through Me, Jesus, they attained healing and, with the healing, the possibility to recognize their true being in order to thank God, the Eternal, through the actualization of the eternal laws.

Only the one found God in himself and remained healthy. The others turned to the world again, attracted their former illnesses again and fell sick anew.
