Jesus carried the message of true brotherhood
"What is the most perfect type that God has offered to
man, to serve as a guide and model?" 1 Answer:
- Jesus!
Emmanuel2 tells us that, according to
the traditions of the Spiritual
World, “there is a Community of Pure Spirits and Elected
by the Supreme Lord of the Universe, in whose hands the
reigns that guide the life of all Planetary Collectives
are kept, and, as it turns out, this Community of
angelic and perfect beings, of which Jesus is one of the
divine members, has only met, close to Earth, to solve
decisive problems in the organization and direction of
our Planet, twice in the course known millennia:
The first occurred when the Earth's Orb detached itself
from the solar nebula, so that the beacons of our
cosmogonic system and the prodromes of life in the
igniting matter of the planet would be launched in Time
and Space. The second occurred when the Lord's coming to
Earth was decided, bringing to the human family the
immortal lesson of His Gospel of love and redemption”.
The Lioness Master1 teaches: “For man,
Jesus is the type of moral perfection that Humanity can
aspire to on Earth. God offers Him as the most perfect
model and the Doctrine that He taught is the purest
expression of the Law of the Lord, because He, being the
purest of those who have appeared on Earth, the Divine
Spirit animated Him.”
With the Spirit Andre Luiz, we learned 3:
“before Him, great commanders of the idea had stepped on
the ground of the world, influencing crowds: warriors
and politicians, philosophers and prophets, lined up in
the popular memory, remembered as disciplinarians and
heroes, but all of them paraded with armies and
formulas, statements and warnings, in which rectitude
and partiality, surplus and light are mixed.”
Speaking about the advent of Christ, says Emmanuel 4:
“the angelic legions, next to the manger, announcing the
Great Renovator, did not present any word of violence,
but: glory to God in the Universe; peace on Earth;
goodwill towards men.
The Supreme Father, bequeathing the New Age of security
and tranquility to the world, did not declare the
Celestial Ambassador invested with powers to hurt or
destroy; nor punishment for the rich miser; nor
punishment for the desperate poor; nor contempt for the
weak; nor condemnation to sinners; nor hostility towards
the proud Pharisee; nor anathema against the unaware
gentile. The Divine Treasure was poured out through the
hands of Jesus in the service of goodwill. The justice
of the “eye for an eye” and of the “tooth for a tooth”
finds, finally, Love available to the sublime
renunciation until the Cross. And from that
unforgettable moment onwards, the Earth would renew
itself. The executioner would be pitiable; the enemy
would become a stray brother; the criminal would become
sick. In Rome, the people would gradually extinguish
slaughter in circuses. In Sidon, slaves would no longer
be blinded by the masters' cruelty. In Jerusalem, the
sick would no longer be left to abandon themselves in
the valleys of filth.
Jesus carried with Him the message of true brotherhood
and, revealing it, he passed victoriously, from the
straw cradle to the bloody tree”.
Andre Luiz also sings the aims of the Sublime Advento3:
“He arrives without any prestige of human authority,
but, with His moral magnitude, He gives new directions
to life, because He, above all addresses the Spirit in
all Earth's environments... Transmitting the mental
waves of the Higher Spheres from where He comes, He
walks among the creatures, awakening their energies to
the greater life, as if touching their hidden fibers, in
order to harmonize them with the universal symphony of
eternal good. In order to receive the mental influence
of Jesus, the Gospel gives us news of a small
congregation of mediums, in the shape of conjugated
electrical transformers, to receive His strength and
store it, in principle, before these resources could be
channeled. And far from taking note of the presence of
any psychic instrument that is less safe from a moral
point of view, we find an important group of mediators,
brave in their confidence and correct in the guideline.
We are thus informed, in the notes of the Good News,
that Zacharias and Isabel, the parents of John the
Baptist, forerunner of the Divine Medium, "were
both righteous before God, walking without rebuke in all
the Lord's commandments and precepts" 5;
that Mary, the simple young woman from Nazareth, who
would welcome the Celestial Ambassador into her mother's
arms, was "in
a position of praise before the Eternal Father" 6;
that Joseph of Galilee, the man who would take Him under
paternal guardianship, "was
just"7;
that Simon, the selfless friend who waited for Him in
prayer, for a long time, “was
just and obedient to God” 8;
and that Anne, the widow who waited for Him in prayer,
in the Temple of Jerusalem, for several quinquenium, lived
"serving
God".9 In
this group of admirable mediums, not only for the
advanced perceptions that placed them in contact with
the Heavenly Emissaries, but also for the irreproachable
conduct of which they provided testimony, we surprised
the circuit of forces to which Christ's mental wave
adjusted, to expand from there renewing the world.”
The noble mentor Joanna de Ângelis10 adds:
“(...) after the failure of noisy fantasies and
turbulent enjoyments, the notes of sweet peace song
vibrate on Earth, permeating and delighting anxious
creatures. It is the joys of Christmas that arrive,
remaking the human spirit, stunned and discouraged by
the tireless search for values that, then, contact the
dead.
An invitation to reflection, Christmas reminds us of the
Noble Friend, participating in the just joys of a
wedding and the serious sweet encounter with the woman
caught in adultery...
It evokes the Lord of the living forces of Nature,
rebuking the winds and the sea, and inviting talkative
children to the lap, for belonging to them, in the
Nature of which they are a symbol in the Kingdom of God…
It updates the dialogue, of transcendent reach, with the
prince and doctor of Law on rebirth in the body, and
speaks of the uplift of the son of the widow of Nain, of
the servant of the Centurion, and of Lazarus, of the
torpor of catalepsy and death for the excellence of
lucid action...
It provides a new vision of life in the light of the
Sermon on the Mount, extolling, in these days of
truculence, the greatness of humility, the strength of
faith and the work of "nonviolence"...
Christmas is a happy opportunity for every man to turn
inward, make peace with himself, appreciate the blessing
of physical life that fades quickly, and love ...
The joys of Christmas provide a place for everyone to
congratulate themselves through the donations of love
that they allow, renewing their intimate landscapes and,
taking a step beyond the “me”,
to extend solidarity with those who suffer, those who
struggle in the struggle , those who despair, those who
feel alone, the little ones and old people abandoned in
the streets and in the fields, extending to them the
tenderness and giving them smiles, through the action of
goodness, which transforms man into an angel of love and
makes him repeat, almost in silence, again, the
unforgettable sonata of Heaven addressed to the ears of
the attentive world: - glory
to God on high and peace on earth for men of good
will!... ”
Christmas, for the Spiritist, it must be like a song,
which speaks of love, peace, joy and a new world with
Jesus! ... Let us join the Divine Symphony in unison
with the plethora of Spirits most directly connected to
Jesus, so that we can also receive the mental influx
from Him in order to spread it out among our brothers in
humanity, especially with the “Sons
of Calvary”.
