The Crucifixion of Jesus

CHAPTER 82

Jesus resisted all attacks and became the Redeemer (1-2).
Pilate sacrificed an innocent One in order to keep his position (3-4). Begetting and giving birth in sin or in selfless love (5-7). Man determines the garment which his soul will wear in the spheres beyond (8-13). The repentant sinner (14-16). The seeming triumph of the darkness became a victory of the Christ for the glorification of the Father - Only the pure spiritual body can enter into heaven (17-19). "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (20). The law of love and unity (21-23). The earthquake, a sign of the Christ-power (24-27). There is no right to sentence to death or to kill (28)

1. Then he released Barabbas to them. After he had Jesus lashed, he delivered Him to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the governor took Him into the judgement hall and the whole band of soldiers gathered around Him.

2. And they stripped Him and put a purple robe on Him. And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it on His head and gave Him a reed in His right hand, bowed their knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!” (Chap. 82:1-2)

The demons mobilized all the means at their disposal in order to tempt Me, so that I would doubt My mission. For any doubt in God is sin.

I did not doubt and did not sin and thus the "It is finished” could be spoken. This enabled the part-power of the primordial power, a part of My spiritual heritage, to flow as sparks into the souls. Neither the mockery nor the derision with the purple robe and the crown of thorns and the reed could move Me to sin. I remained in the Eternal, in whom I Am, Christ.

No one comes to the Father in the heavens but through Me, the Son of God and Co-Regent of the heavens, who became the Redeemer of all souls and men.

Had the Jewish people and the lineage of David stood by Me, I would not have had to suffer death on the cross. I would have ascended to the heavens before the eyes of all and heaven would have remained among My people, since people would have fulfilled the heavenly laws - and I would have returned to them as the ruler of the Kingdom of God on earth.

Recognize that the person who just hears the law of life without actualizing it remains as he is and is used by the one who believes to be ruling the world: the satan of the senses, the negative forces.

I remained in the eternal Father and, in the spirit, accomplished the Work of Redemption which had been decided in heaven: the leading of all souls and men home through the work of love.

3. Then Jesus stepped forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold this man!”

4. When the high priests and the officers of the people saw Him, they cried out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him.” And Pilate said to them, "Take Him and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.” (Chap. 82:3-4)

Even though Pilate spoke words as follows "Take Him and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him”, he nevertheless became guilty. Had Pilate used his inner recognition and his outer position, he could have brought many a Jew to his senses.

Remember that it is not possible to move an entire people to turn back all at once. Every single person is a part of the people and is important for the people. Had Pilate thought in such a way and acted accordingly, he would have been for Me, Christ. But in this way he opposed Me.

Pilate showed his weakness. He feared the people, for he wanted to keep his position in the world. The behaviour of Pilate was and is a symbol for many. The world-oriented person depends on the masses to maintain his power and position in this world. For this, he sacrifices his neighbour, in order to maintain his prestige and preserve his outer power.

5. And they spit upon Him and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they took off His robe and put His own raiment on Him and led Him away to crucify Him.

6. And when they led Him away, they stopped a man, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was just coming in from the country. They forced him to carry the cross after Jesus. A great multitude followed Him, together with many women who bewailed and lamented Him.

7. But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over Me, but weep over yourselves and your children. For behold, the days will come when they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs which have not borne and the breasts that have not nursed! (Chap. 82:5-7)

Recognize that only those people who themselves are spit on and beaten by their sins are the ones who spit on their neighbour and beat him. Thus, as Jesus, I was a symbol to many. Simon, too, who helped Me carry My cross, was a symbol for many.

Many simple people, who keep their hearts free from the trumpery, the pomp and the splendour of this world, will be true selfless helpers in the vineyard of the Lord. They will help many people carry their cross.

My life as Jesus of Nazareth will be a symbol for all people until the spiritual life, the life in Me, has awakened in everyone. And My words will have validity in the world until the light of the world has penetrated all souls and people. But as long as many people still let themselves be ruled by the darkness, they will also mislead again and again those who are a wavering reed in the wind, who turn one time to the Spirit of God then again to the world. Many of them repeatedly create new causes and will give birth, also repeatedly, to children having the same or similar causes.

The meaning of the words "Blessed are the barren and the wombs which have not borne and the breasts that have not nursed!” is: All those who are a wavering reed in the wind and who beget and give birth to children like or similar to themselves should be sad about themselves. For like draws to like again and again. The words contain the law of attraction and the settlement of the causes which bind parents and children to one another and which they have to expiate and clear up together.

The words "Blessed are the barren and the wombs which have not borne and the breasts that have not nursed!” also mean that the one who begets and conceives in sin and immorality gives birth again to those who are like and similar, and the sinner will have to suffer again under his sin. This holds true especially in the days when that which I revealed will happen: The materialistic world will collapse. Woe to those who live in sin!

However, not every so-called barrenness is to be attributed to a guilt as a cause. People of the light will give birth to light-filled souls, when it is time for light-filled souls to come to earth.

Recognize: Blessed are those who have given and give birth to light-filled souls; for they did not nor do they beget in sin, desire and passion; and they did not nor do they give birth in sin. They begot and beget in selfless love and give birth in selfless love. Such breasts will also give selfless life.

8. Then they will begin to say to the mountains: Fall on us. And to the hills: Cover us. For if this is done to the green wood, what shall be done to the dry?”

9. And two others, being wrongdoers, were also led with Him to be put to death. And when they came to the place called Calvary or Golgotha - that is, place of the skull - they crucified Him, and also the wrongdoers, one on the right side and one on the left.

10. And it was the third hour when they crucified Him; and they gave Him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And after He had tasted it, He did not want to drink. And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!”

11. After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His raiment and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also His vesture. Now the vesture was without seam, woven in one piece. They therefore said among themselves: Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, for whose it shall be.

12. That the scripture be fulfilled, which says, "They divided My raiment among them and cast lots for My vesture.” So, this is what the soldiers did. And sitting down, they kept watch.

13. And an inscription was fastened over Him in Greek, Latin and Hebrew letters, "This is the King of the Jews.” (Chap. 82:8-13)

They divided My clothes among themselves and cast lots for them. The greed of man does not even stop at the clothes of someone sentenced to death. The greedy ego does not respect anything or anybody - not even itself. A person cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with all the possessions that he has acquired in an honest or dishonest way. He will have to give up even his last piece of clothing.

On the other hand, the soul - with its garments of sin or virtue - goes into the life beyond. Neither soul nor person can prevent this. The soul will bear what the person has sown. It cannot conceal it nor cast it off, except through forgiving, through asking for forgiveness, through making amends and by not committing the same sins again. Only then can the garment of sin be taken from the soul.

It is not the dice that determine which garment you wear or want to lay down as soul, but you, yourself - in the way you behave towards the law of God.

The words "This is the King of the Jews” were spoken in mockery; but Pilate sensed that they meant more: This is the king, the ruler of the Kingdom of God on earth, of the New Israel and the New Jerusalem.

14. Many Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate: "Do not write 'the King of the Jews', but that 'He said, I am the King of the Jews.'” Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written.”

15. One of the wrongdoers who were hanged mocked Him, saying, "If You are Christ, save Yourself and us!” Then the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation? We are in it justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”

16. And he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, "Verily, I say to you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.” (Chap. 82:14-16)

The words "Verily I say to you: Today you will be with Me in paradise”, which I spoke as Jesus to the repentant sinner, were words of forgiveness. He entered into higher spheres of life where he had to endure neither pain nor torment; for he had recognized himself, had repented and atoned and thus was received in Me, the Christ. He had stolen for his starving family.

17. And they passed by the cross and reviled Him, shaking their heads and saying, "You wanted to destroy the temple and build it again in three days. Save Yourself now! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

18. And the high priests, too, mocking Him with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved a lamb, but He cannot save Himself. If He is the king of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. He trusted in God; let God deliver Him now, if God will have Him. For He said: I Am the Son of God.”

19. The usurers and the dealers in animals expressed themselves likewise, saying, "You have driven out of the temple the traders in oxen, sheep and doves, but You Yourself are a sheep that is sacrificed.” (Chap. 82:17-19)

I endured all that, so that redemption could come to all souls and people - to the spheres of purification and to this world. The darkness slandered, ridiculed and killed My earthly body; however, it did not achieve what it wanted through this, namely: to separate Me from God by doubting Him. I abided in My Father and the Father abided in Me.

In this way, I glorified the Father in Me. And so, the glory of the Father came into this world through Me, the Christ, as the light of redemption. And no one can extinguish this light of the world. It has placed itself into all souls and men - even into the darkest demon. Whether he wants to admit this or not: he, too, has received the light of the Redeemer-light from Me. He, too, will be freed from his sins through it.

I stepped down from the cross, but not with My earthly body. It is not the earthly body that can enter the heavens, but the pure spiritual body alone. However, the one who sees the earthly body as the criterion for all things wants to keep the physical body. And if he lives in sin, he will also lay aside his physical body through sin and in sin. This can be accompanied by much suffering, for it is his sin that he wants to keep. The sin ties itself to the physical body and thus to this world.

All those who follow Me will have to endure the same or similar things as I did - until the end of this sinful world. The following holds true for them: If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you, too. If they have slandered and ridiculed Me, they will slander and ridicule you, too. If they have spoken evil of Me, they will speak evil of you, too. If they have killed Me, they will kill and torment many of you, too - whether by words, deeds or both.

20. And there was darkness over all the land from the sixth hour to the ninth hour. But some who were standing around lit their torches, for the darkness was very great. And about the sixth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Chap. 82:20)

The heart of Jesus cried the words, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

From the cross I saw many peoples - countless people, whose souls repeatedly came into the earthly garment and walked in darkness for many centuries. They had lost the Inner Path. In their ignorance, in their need, illness and loneliness, they called out to God. However, they were concerned only with their physical bodies, not with their souls. They let the latter waste away.

Thus, My call on the cross was the call of many generations that believed and believe they are lost. For My suffering and dying were and are a symbol for the suffering and dying of people. My words "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” are the words of the people of all nations and generations which, in their unbelief, accused and accuse God of their sins. I did not speak these words for Myself, but as a symbol for many.

Even today, My words on the cross are still a symbol for many people. Even today, they still call in their outer need "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” For even today [1989], they still do not understand that salvation, help and healing come solely from within. Even today, many struggle only for their earthly life, because their true being is still a stranger to them.

So My call on the cross was the call of those who believed and still believe they are lost. Their call will be heard - when they open their heart to God and no longer cling to their earthly life with their senses. Then they will be heard, since they have found the path to the heart of God.

The Comforter and the Redeemer, the Christ of God, who I, the way, the truth and the life, Am, brought and brings anew into this world the path of love which leads to the heart of God.

As the Father glorified Himself in Me, the Jesus, and glorifies Himself in Me, the Christ, I will glorify Myself in those who truly call to God; for they will find what their heart longs for: God, the love and the life, their true being.

21. Some of them who stood there and heard this said, "This man calls for Elijah”; others said, "He calls upon the sun.” The rest said, "Let us stay and see whether Elijah will come and rescue Him.”

22. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother and His mother's sister, Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

23. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!” And He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!” And from that hour, the disciple took her into his own home. (Chap. 82:21-23)

The words to Mary, "Woman, behold your son!” and to the disciple, "Behold your mother!”, symbolize the law of selfless love and unity. These words were understood by those for whom they were meant. The disciple fulfilled the law of love and unity and took Mary into his home. For a commandment from the law of God says: One for all - Christ; and all for One - Christ; each one for each one - in good thoughts and in the right love and care.

The one who keeps the law of love and unity is there for his neighbour. He receives his neighbour not only in his heart but also in his home, when his neighbour truly needs help.

The one who keeps the law of love and unity and who himself abides in the house of God, in the heart of God, also leads the people of good will to God's love and unity.

24. Jesus now knew that everything had taken place and that the scripture was fulfilled. He said, "I Am thirsty.” And from a vessel they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on a hyssop and held it to His mouth.

25. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit!”

26. When Jesus had received the vinegar, He cried aloud, "It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up the spirit. And it was the ninth hour.

27. And behold, there was great thunder and lightning, and the partition wall of the sanctum before which the veil hung fell down and was rent in two. The earth quaked, and the rocks, too, burst apart. (Chap. 82:24-27)

The earthquake symbolizes not only the freedom of the souls but above all the power, the life, which all souls received, whether they were incarnate or discarnate:

It is the part-power of the primordial power, the Christ-power, which divided into sparks and entered into all souls - also into those of the demons.

Through the powerful cosmic irradiation, some people became temporarily clairvoyant and perceived souls which, through this power of redemption, went into higher spheres of Inner Life; for they had attained the inner maturity for higher levels of life and had longingly waited for the power of redemption, for the Redeemer-spark, which for them pointed and points the way to the heart of the Eternal.

28. Now when the centurion and those who were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they feared greatly and said, "Truly this was a Son of God.” (Chap. 82:28)

It is written that they feared greatly and said, "Truly this was a Son of God.”

When recognition frightens people, they should examine their conscience: How often have they already committed deeds which they now recognize as being unlawful? The fear and the recognition were, in the last analysis, pangs of conscience; they wanted to admonish the so-called centurion and those who were with him guarding Jesus and to tell them that a person is allowed neither to kill someone himself nor to become an accomplice in the death of his neighbour, for instance, by ordering the death of a person. For who has the right to condemn others to death or to kill them?

God, the Eternal, did not command such a thing. On the contrary, He, the great All-One, who is the law of life, has commanded man: You shall not kill. For He is the life, not death.

The so-called death is the passing away of the earthly body, which is from the earth and returns to the earth. It is a lawful process, contingent upon the incarnation of the soul, and will take its course according to the way of thinking and living of the person and to the condition of his soul.

God is the life. For this reason, man has no right to kill the earthly body of his neighbour or to cause its death. The one who consciously kills or consciously causes death will, according to the law of sowing and reaping, have to endure and suffer what he has caused during his life that was far from God.

29. And many women were there, who followed from Galilee, ministering unto Him. Among them were Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children, and they cried and lamented, saying, "The light of the world is hidden before our eyes, the Lord of our love is crucified!”

30. Because it was the day before Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate that the legs of the bodies might be broken and that the bodies be taken away, so that they would not remain on the cross over the Sabbath (for it was the Passover Sabbath).

31. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two who were crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He had already died, they did not break His legs, but one of the soldiers pierced His heart with his spear and immediately there flowed out blood and water.

32. And he that saw it bore witness and his witness is true. He knows that he speaks the truth, that you, too, may believe. For those things happened that the scriptures might be fulfilled: You shall not break any of His bones, and again: They shall look on Him whom they pierced. (Chap. 82:29-32)
