From ‘The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ’: God Is the Life and the Love of All, Part 2 of 2

Let us continue with selections from The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ, where the Lord Jesus (vegetarian) expounds on God’s Love for both humans and animal-people.

“And Jesus continued saying unto them: ‘And wherever there are seven gathered in My Name, there am I in the midst of them; yea, if there be only three or two, and where is but one who prays in secret, I am with that one also. For truly I tell ye, to raise up the stone, and here I am. For in the fire, and in the water, even as in every living form, God is manifest as its Life and its Substance, for God is the Law, the Life and the Love of all things. He is in all, and all is in Him that obeys the Holy Word.’”

“‘But I tell ye, the Holy Law puts off all evil if ye search after its power and wisdom. Seek ye then first the Kingdom of God and all else in the world shall be vanity unto you, for the truth sets free the righteous and breaks the chain of bondage to sin. Yea, sin not, and evil shall find no place. Pray ye then after the manner I tell ye, that ye be spared the trials of Satan....’”

“Love ye one another and every creature of God. Be ye also slow to anger, for many sin in anger which they repented of, when their anger was past, for anger is the sister of ignorance and ignorance the brother of every sin. Yea, learn ye patience and endurance that ye may not tire or grow weary of one another or the work set before you.”

“Therefore, I say unto ye, whenever thy heart is heavy with worry or sadness, look unto these noble creations for joy and gladness, walk ye into the forest and behold the trees and flowers, look ye at the mountains and the rivers, watch ye the flying creatures and how they happily sing unto the Earth and all on it. Observe ye the Great Household of God, yea, thy sisters and brothers in every form; look unto them and they will receive thee and gladden thy hearts with much joy and peace. For above all else, learn ye to love one another, even as I have loved thee, and my Father in Heaven loved me. For the Holy Law teaches the holy way of love, and no person knows the power of love, lest they keep the law in their heart....”
