Said Jesus:  

*"Peace be upon you. This is the most representative group of believers -- apostles and disciples, both men and women -- to which I have appeared since the time of my deliverance from the flesh. I now call you to witness that I told you beforehand that my sojourn among you must come to an end. I told you that presently I must return to the Father. And then I plainly told you how the chief priests and the rulers of the Jews would deliver me up to be put to death, and that I would rise from the grave. Why, then, did you allow yourselves to become so disconcerted by all this when it came to pass? And '''why were you so surprised when I rose from the tomb on the third day'''? You failed to believe me because you heard my words without comprehending the meaning thereof.

*"And now you should give ear to my words lest you again make the mistake of hearing my teaching with the mind while in your hearts you fail to comprehend the meaning. From the beginning of my sojourn as one of you, I taught you that my one purpose was to reveal my Father in heaven to his children on earth. I have lived the God-revealing bestowal that you might experience the God-knowing career. I have revealed God as your Father in heaven. I have revealed you as the sons of God on earth. It is a fact that God loves you, his sons. '''By faith in my word this fact becomes an eternal and living truth in your hearts'''. When, by living faith, you become divinely God-conscious, you are then born of the spirit as children of light and life, even the eternal life wherewith you shall ascend the '''universe of universes''' and attain the experience of finding God the Father on Paradise.
