There is nothing wrong with embracing Jesus and making Jesus the focus of your spiritual life, your spiritual yearnings, and your source for inspiration and assistance for any and all needs. That is because Jesus was a divine agent and was bringing forth the truth of the divine in all he did. He spoke divine truth wherever he went, and if you look at his message it was all about love. It was not about hatred, not about judgment, not about killing for God, but forgiveness, for applying love to problems, and about the importance of healing in many ways, all of which were real and significant, including the removal of dark spirits from people.
And this gives a good example about how, even among the faithful who believe in the literal truth of the Bible, many are skeptical about the reality of demonic possession, so they themselves are choosing what to believe and what not to believe of their own revered text. Such phenomena are very, very, real and this has been the original cause of all the darkness and negativity in the earth plane itself, yet it is widely ignored in the common culture despite the predominance of professed believers.
The difficulty posed by the Bible account of Jesus describing himself as being the only true way to God contains within it a misinterpretation. He was using himself as an example of one who holds true belief and true faith. He communicated with us many times daily and had a very direct interaction, as is happening through the channel bringing these words forth. That creates within, the possibility for a very high level of belief. And that was his strength, to do all he did with that certainty of the divine. But he made very clear the fact that he had a Father and pointed out that the Father is within, and so was referencing a higher authority. His entreaty to use himself as an example, as a gateway to God, was simply that people could trust in following his example. And in following him directly, as an acolyte, as a disciple, he was recruiting people to join him in spreading divine truth, and to embrace it themselves, through his example in who he was, how he viewed the world, and how he acted.
That provides a divine standard and a template that can be followed by anyone to guide how they live their lives, and in doing so will reach a divine level in the performance and execution of their experiences. It was not meant as a restriction, to be exclusive as though he represents a secret password, and so everything must be in his name or is otherwise illegitimate. This makes no sense on its face when he himself was advocating for the Father, the Holy Father, the Almighty. He was a Messiah, a messenger of God, and to deify him as the only divine figure is a distortion that elevates him, and diminishes God as being a potential partner in life.
There is nothing wrong with partnering with Jesus Christ, but when you have God available to partner with, you are limiting yourself to a very narrow circle. In a sense, it is like deifying the relationship you have with a best friend. There may be circumstances when your best friend may not be able to give you all you need, and you need a wider circle or a greater authority. You can appeal to any being in the divine for assistance and help. They can work wonders, they can perform miracles, they can heal, they can inspire, and they can assist you in your life in many ways to help you make connections and find information, and so on, but they are not Creator.
While we do not wish to alienate anyone who has come to believe Jesus to be the answer in all respects for living on a divine path, it is a good example. But to use that as a reason to go no further, to not look at other sources of divine wisdom, or signs and demonstrations of divine presence, is limiting your reach. When people see a miraculous event but it did not include the presence of Jesus Christ, does that mean it wasn’t a miracle? When someone’s life is saved in improbable ways, or someone is suddenly healed on the brink of death from a universally fatal condition, if Jesus was not there to put his signature on the event does that mean it was not a miracle?
The miracles he performed took place because he brought the energy of Creator through him to help those whose lives he touched. It was the divine flow of healing love he brought forth everywhere he went. It is what made people see and feel he was truly divine, because that was the energy of Creator emanating from him, projecting from him, and he used that to inspire him and to manifest it through all of his life in what he said and how he reacted to events around him, and especially in his healing work.
It is not only a narrow focus to believe that everything divine started and stopped with him and his very short life, it is building a kind of prison around you that will keep you from greatness and will keep you from benefiting from the many divine messengers among you who are truly inspired by the divine in carrying out divine work in what they do. All who transfer love to another are divine in that way. Some have a greater mission on a wider stage, and in that respect, share with Jesus Christ a distinction in truly working for Creator directly. To elevate Jesus Christ as the only figure deserving recognition for divine work is a travesty because it negates the many, many, outreaches coming from God through many living today—people of all ages in moments of inspiration who reach out and touch the life of another in a way that gives them hope, and brings about a change for the better, and may in fact save them from a dark fate.
The true message of Christ was to show what all humans are capable of, if they continue on a path of enlightenment. And this is what Creator wants for all—to reach such levels of capability, to be in the flow of love at all times, to give of themselves, and see others with love and forgiveness and understanding, and to help raise one another up, to make the world better, and indeed to work miracles as well. This was all described by Jesus Christ himself in his own words while he was alive. He was pointing the way and that was the essence of his message—not to only rely on him and look nowhere else, but to see in him the possibility for all to move towards the way he expressed divine truth, and to open themselves up more fully to function on his level. This is what is coming for humanity but may not happen if people stay frozen with limited thinking ruled more by doubts and fears than being open to divine inspiration as a stimulus for the growth and expansion that is Creator’s plan.
