Let us discuss the miracle of Christ Michael’s bestowal and the importance of yearly remembrance. It matters not the time of year of his coming or the exact year or location even of his birth. The miracle of Michael’s coming, of his birth as a helpless babe, of his growth and life as a mortal man – these miracles are a permanent and unshakable fact, in fact the central fact of all life upon your world.

Let us discuss the miracle of [[His bestowal|Christ Michael’s bestowal]] and the importance of yearly [[remembrance]]. It matters not the time of year of his coming or the exact year or location even of [[his birth]]. The [[miracle]] of Michael’s coming, of his birth as a helpless babe, of his growth and life as a mortal man – these miracles are a permanent and unshakable [[fact]], in fact the central fact of all life upon your world.

The Master’s coming broke the spiritual chains of the past and brought light and truth light years ahead of the prevailing understandings of God and man of that day. The Master’s mission is continuing to bring forth good fruit even now some 2000 years on. It was important at this time to bring to your world a more detailed and accurate portrayal of the Master’s life so that you would have guidance in the understanding of his life. This understanding is the most crucial thing you can know, both as individuals and as a community of the Master’s followers. Understanding Michael is absolutely critical. It is once more important that you do not stumble over his words, that you rather lay hold of his truth in its true essence so that your future may find guidance and comfort in his words and in his life.

Constantly my children you are forced by life’s circumstances to evaluate and to reevaluate your faith, your belief, your purpose, and your relationship with God and with the Son of God. The great mercy of Michael is in his spirit, the comforter. Forever is the Master’s spirit close to your hearts, providing comfort, guidance, and naturally a nudging direction. In a very real personal and spiritual sense, the Master once more stands before you saying, "follow me". Following him will bring you not a sense of mindless bliss but rather a sense of purpose in service. The Master said, "he who would be greatest among you must be servant to all". Said he, "the son of man comes not to be served but to serve". Therefore, those who follow him must find gradually a life in him, in a life of service.
