I am here, Jesus:
I am here tonight to let you know that I am pleased with your condition
tonight and to confirm that through your persistence in praying for the
Divine Love that you have, indeed, become a true child of the Father in
the sense that you have gone through the New Birth and are redeemed. Only
you must know that does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that
you are without sin or error but that you have that sufficiency of the
Divine Love to enable it to insure your redemption. And I say with all
earnestness for you to continue to pray harder and more frequently for
this Divine Love of the Father and you will not be disappointed, and will
realize all the powers and benefits thereunto pertaining, if not now,
then in time to come, here on earth and certainly in the world to come.
And, as usual, I am here to encourage you and to let you know that I
am that Jesus of Nazareth who walked the roads of Palestine with my disciples
in the days of Antipas and of Herod* and the Roman centurions and soldiers
who filled Jerusalem.
I wish to say that I am going to continue my discourses with you on the
authenticity of the Bible until such a time as you may be in that special
condition that I may be able to deliver a formal message on the higher
truths. But this must depend entirely upon you and your faith that you
can take these messages, as well as the condition into which you get through
the inflowing of the Divine Love.
Now, I know that you have been investigating the truths of the New Testament
with regard to the identity of the Apostles, and you have not been far
from your conception of who were the sons of Alphaeus, a somewhat mysterious
gentleman who seems to have been the father of three of my Disciples,
for it is mentioned in various of the Gospels that not only James and
Judas were sons of his but also Thaddeus Levi, the Publican. And it is
true that this Levi, the Matthew of the Gospels, was a son of an Alphaeus,
which was a common name amongst the Jews of the time, but that this Alphaeus
was not the same as the Alphaeus of the two brothers who were also my
brothers in the flesh; for the name Alphaeus was that of the Hebrew Joseph,
a common name amongst the Hebrews of the time.
I cannot continue with this at the present time because I see you are
not in condition to write more on the subject, so I will close now and
say good night to you and the Doctor.
Your brother and friend,
Jesus
* It would appear based on this error, that the medium had lost rapport
by this stage. Antipas and Herod are one an the same person.
