I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am made glad by your willingness to [[participate]] in [[discussion]] this evening. I [[believe]] there are deep levels of comfort among you. It is [[inspiring]] to me to be [[witness]] to your complete [[honesty]]. I am [[happy]] that you feel [[safety]] and comfort among one another. I am also [[grateful]] that you [[trust]] me and Mary to be included in this branch of our family tree. I appreciate your [[thoughts]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Abraham-2010-02-08 last lesson] concerning [[self-esteem]]. There are many layers that go into learning about that and how we can find a balance.
===Lesson===
===='''''[[Sacrifice]]''''']]
I [[understand]] the [[traditional]] season of [[Christ]]’s [[resurrection]] is approaching and there are many [[different]] [[beliefs]] we could adhere to or have already cemented into our [[thinking]] as we have grown from a [[child]]. It is common belief that Christ sacrificed His [[mortal]] life for mans [[sin]]s and therefore many traditional religious beliefs say that mortals should also partake in some sort of [[sacrifice]].
Christ did not sacrifice His life, but He did lay it down in favor of [[the Father’s will]] to fully [[experience]] the mortal life just as it is. You could say His example to us for the [[time]] He was here on [[earth]] was that He always had willingness to lay down His life but to also take up His [[responsibilities]]. In other [[words]], He was always watchful of Father’s will and had deep [[desire]] to thoroughly follow it.
As you [[study]] the Master’s life, you know He was never half-hearted in anything, be it [[spiritual]] or [[Material|earthly]]. As far as [[faith]] and Father’s will, the Master saw that as black and white, unchangeable. [[Jesus]] relied upon His mortal [[senses]] to receive spiritual [[guidance]] when He was young. As adulthood approached and His experience taught Him, He was able to find new spiritual senses that helped Him to [[mature]] spiritually.
I [[understand]] there to be wavering [[faith]] as a [[mortal]]. Not to worry. It does take effort to step out in faith and I can say that if one has the [[courage]] to do so, then the mortal senses advance into spiritual ones. We all have seen in this [[Correcting Time]] how beliefs have [[grown]], changed and become everyday understanding. [[Intuition]], for example, is not as far-fetched as mortals used to believe. The understanding of [[coincidence]] has also came to be [[expected]]. [[Transmitting|Transmitting/Receiving]] is also becoming [[Normal|un-extraordinary]].
[[Topics]] that used to be against [[religious]] rules are now [[embraced]] by the [[masses]]. Man is finding out that having [[courage]] to step forth in [[faith]] brings an [[understanding]] that comes from beyond the [[material]] [[mind]] and the [[human]] [[senses]]. As we look out among the [[Teaching Mission]], are we viewing [[spiritual]] [[maturity]] or the utilizing of spiritual senses? I can completely understand that the world circumstances can be overwhelming and yet, I can see some lost [[hope]] and half-heartedness.
In this time of [[celebration]], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189 Master’s resurrection], can we look at the [[power]] of His [[faith]], the [[change]] from [[child]] to [[man]], the change from man to [[spirit]]? He was not [[meek]] but wholehearted and driven. Can we contemplate the [[strength]] it takes to lay down one’s life, one’s [[desires]]? Is this weakness? No. I, for one, am [[honor]]ed to be a part of such a [[family]] with the Master as our [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY sovereign]. What a [[beautiful]] example of strength that is cause for [[hope]] and a reason to fully [[commit]] to [[faith]].
===Closing===
That is all. I am with growing [[love]] for you each and also enjoy you immensely. [[Mary]] sends her regards and will be with us next time. Go in peace. [[Shalom]].
