===Quote===
''“If religion is an opiate to the people, it is not the [[religion of Jesus]]. On the cross, he refused to drink the deadening drug, and [[Spirit of Truth|his spirit, poured out upon all flesh]], is a mighty world influence which leads man upward and urges him onward. The spiritual forward urge is the most powerful driving force present in [[this world]]; the truth-learning believer is the one [[progressive]] and aggressive [[soul]] on earth.” ([[194:3|UB, 194:3.4]])''
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Despite his groundbreaking spiritual [[achievements]], Jesus remained a humble and down-to-earth [[individual]] ever focused on his higher [[calling]] while dealing with the [[vicissitudes]] of human living. How else could the incarnated [[Creator Son]] have revealed God to men?
While in the flesh, he was a visible ambassador of the [[heavenly Father]] to his fellowmen. After ascending to higher experiential realms, he sent his [[Spirit of Truth]] to fill the great void left by his absence. Doesn’t it make perfect sense that the Spirit of Truth is a mighty driving force? Through its ongoing disclosures to those who ask pertinent questions, it [[encourages]] them to lead God-centered lives.
By turning inward and contemplating its practical gems of [[knowledge]] and [[wisdom]], the ‘truth-learning believer’ feeds his soul with premium nutrients. It is what differentiates him or her from those who foolishly claim to possess all the truth they need but, due to their flagrant lack of [[receptivity]], have landed in a state of unrewarding and complacent standstill.
Jesus, while in the flesh, never stopped asking [[questions]] — to his parents and teachers when he was a child and to his [[Ta|indwelling Father’s presence]] after realizing they could not come up with satisfying and logical answers to his intelligent inquiries. His indwelling Spirit of Truth urges you to do the same, promising you great results in your [[spiritual growth]]. Keep in [[mind]] that it never lies!”
