God Discovered Jesus MeetUp Week 22 Jesus Is Here Now: Proof Click the icon for the one-page, front and back, printable version of this small group lesson as "Jesus Is Here Now: Proof " Week 22 The Jesus MeetUp Jesus Is Here Now: Proof Week #22 Proving the Spirit of Truth as Jesus Himself is Here...NOW! This lesson will be composed primarily of passages taken directly from The Urantia Book Part 4. Most are exact words from Jesus Himself. The reason the next John the Baptist will never refer to the much anticipated second-coming of Christ (per our Revelators) is because this person will know that Jesus has already been here since the day of Pentecost. The Spirit of Truth IS Jesus. May Jesus be lifted up so that His Drawing Power as our Creator Son will most certainly draw all people to Himself as He then points all of His children to their indwelling Paradise Father who is the Healer for all things, to be attained directly and personally and the experience of Light and Life NOW. Again, our Father IS Light and Life! All thanks to Mother Spirit who is ‘mind’ and makes possible the spiritual experience of direct contact with our indwelling Paradise Father. She desires our homage to our Father as does Jesus/Michael. Proof: Many queer and strange teachings became associated with the early narratives of the day of Pentecost. In subsequent times the events of this day, on which the Spirit of Truth, the new teacher, came to dwell with mankind, have become confused with the foolish outbreaks of rampant emotionalism. The chief mission of this OUT POURED SPIRIT OF THE FATHER AND SON is to teach men about the truths of the Father's love and the Son's mercy. These are the truths of divinity which men can comprehend more fully than all the other divine traits of character. The Spirit of Truth is concerned primarily with the revelation of the Father's spirit nature and the Son's moral character. THE CREATOR SON, IN THE FLESH REVEALED GOD TO MEN; THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IN THE HEART, REVEALS THE CREATOR SON TO MEN. When man yields the "fruits of the spirit" in his life, he is simply showing forth the traits which the Master manifested in his own earthly life. When Jesus was on earth, he lived his life as one personality — Jesus of Nazareth. AS THE INDWELLING SPIRIT OF THE “NEW TEACHER," THE MASTER HAS, SINCE PENTECOST, BEEN ABLE TO LIVE HIS LIFE ANEW IN THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY TRUTH-TAUGHT BELIEVER. 194:3.1 For those who have spiritual eyes to see, and ears to hear: The out-poured spirits of which 2 Persons are dwelling in mankind today? Where is the Master living His life anew...NOW? Jesus – our Sovereign Universe Master is capable of doing anything that He so desires to do. Are we so shocked to think that He can now be here on our world living in the hearts of men, women and children as the Spirit of Truth? Just asked after His resurrection from the tomb, "Why do you look for the Master here?". Why are we looking for His return when He has plainly told us that He would return to us in SPIRIT to live His life anew in the personal experiences of every truth-taught believer? Have we been taught correctly by mortal men and women? When Jesus had thus established the supper of the remembrance, he said to the eleven: "And as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me. And when you do remember me, first look back upon my life in the flesh, recall that I was once with you, and then, by faith, discern that you shall all sometime sup with me in the Father's eternal kingdom. This is the new Passover which I leave with you, even the memory of my bestowal life, the word of eternal truth; and of my love for you, THE OUTPOURING OF MY SPIRIT OF TRUTH UPON ALL FLESH." ~ Jesus 179:5.9 Jesus continued to teach, saying: "When I have gone to the Father, and after he has fully accepted the work I have done for you on earth, and after I have received the final sovereignty of my own domain, I shall say to my Father: Having left my children alone on earth, it is in accordance with my promise TO SEND THEM ANOTHER TEACHER. And when the Father shall approve, I will pour out the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh. ALREADY IS MY FATHER’S SPIRIT IN YOUR HEARTS, AND WHEN THIS DAY SHALL COME, YOU WILL ALSO HAVE ME WITH YOU EVEN AS YOU NOW HAVE THE FATHER. This new gift is the spirit of LIVING TRUTH. The unbelievers will not at first listen to the teachings of this spirit, but the sons of light will all receive him gladly and with a whole heart. And YOU SHALL KNOW THIS SPIRIT WHEN HE COMES EVEN AS YOU HAVE KNOWN ME, and you will receive this gift in your hearts, and he will abide with you. You thus perceive that I am not going to leave you without help and guidance. I will not leave you desolate. TODAY I CAN BE WITH YOU ONLY IN PERSON. IN THE TIMES TO COME I WILL BE WITH YOU AND ALL OTHER MEN WHO DESIRE MY PRESENCE, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, AND WITH EACH OF YOU.~ Jesus 180:4.1 Jesus looked down upon them all, smiled, and said: "My little children, I am going away, going back to my Father. In a little while you will not see me as you do here, as flesh and blood. IN A VERY SHORT TIME I AM GOING TO SEND YOU MY SPIRIT, JUST LIKE ME EXCEPT FOR THIS MATERIAL BODY. This new teacher is the Spirit of Truth WHO WILL LIVE WITH EACH ONE OF YOU, IN YOUR HEARTS, and so will all the children of light be made one and be drawn toward one another. [This is the FOUNDATION of the brotherhood of man] And in this very manner WILL MY FATHER AND I BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE SOULS OF EACH ONE OF YOU and also in the hearts of all other men who love us and make that love real in their experiences by loving one another, even as I am now loving you." ~ Jesus 180:4.5 But the highest realization and the truest interpretation of the golden rule consists in the consciousness of the spirit of the truth of the enduring and living reality of such a divine declaration. The true cosmic meaning of this rule of universal relationship is revealed only in its spiritual realization, in the interpretation of the law of conduct by THE SPIRIT OF THE SON TO THE SPIRIT OF THE FATHER THAT INDWELLS THE SOUL OF MORTAL MAN. And when such spirit-led mortals realize the true meaning of this golden rule, they are filled to overflowing with the assurance of citizenship in a friendly universe, and their ideals of SPIRIT reality are satisfied only when they love their fellows as Jesus loved us all, and that is the reality ... 180:5.8 Jesus lived on earth and taught a gospel which redeemed man from the superstition that he was a child of the devil and elevated him to the dignity of a faith son of God. Jesus' message, as he preached it and lived it in his day, was an effective solvent for man's spiritual difficulties in that day of its statement. And now that he has personally left the world, HE SENDS IN HIS PLACE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHO IS DESIGNED TO LIVE IN MAN AND, FOR EACH NEW GENERATION, to restate the Jesus message so that every new group of mortals to appear upon the face of the earth shall have a new and up-to-date version of the gospel, just such personal enlightenment and group guidance as will prove to be an effective solvent for man's ever-new and varied spiritual
