Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B [GGJ.05_247,06] And it is exactly for this that the Son of Man has come into the world to look for what was practically lost from eternity, to redeem it and render it suitable for eternal bliss (Mt.18:11) [GGJ.05_247,07] What do you think Suppose a man has a hundred sheep. If one of them strays somewhere in the woods, does he not leave the other ninety-nine on the hillside and go in search of the one that strayed? (Mt. 18, 12) And if he should find it, truly I tell you this: Will he not be more delighted over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that never strayed? (Mt. 18, 13). [GGJ.05_247,08] And behold, the same thing applies also to God, although He has through His almighty will created everything contained in infinite space out of the eternal fullness of His everlasting, innumerable thoughts, ideas and concepts that He put, as it were, outside of Himself through the firmness of His will. If everything had to stay forever as it is now, in rigid judgment and death, it would be like the lost sheep that could no longer be found anywhere. And what pleasure and joy would a forever dead, material creation give to God? [GGJ.05_247,09] This is mainly why I now came into this world, clothed in matter, namely, to look for this lost sheep and lead it to its blissful destination. [GGJ.05_247,10] God's Spirit and will are now being appeased and, as it were, made pliable and loosened up in this My body, thus in matter. Once this has been accomplished, this My matter must, in the greatest degradation and humiliation possible, be detached and then broken and the Spirit of God that dwells within Me and is at one with My soul must awaken and enliven this broken matter, purified through the fire of His love, and it will then rise as a conqueror over all judgment and death. [GGJ.05_247,11] I have told you in advance that at present you will not yet clearly understand how and why this must — and will —happen. But you can conclude from this that such an act, however abhorrent it may look to a mere human eye, is yet necessary if all creation is to be led back in the proper course of time to a free, independent, pure life in God. [GGJ.05_247,12] Now that I have unveiled this sufficiently for you to understand, you will inwardly see — since you now understand who the little ones really are — that it is the Father's will that not even the least and most insignificant of them should ever be lost (Mt. 18, 14). [GGJ.05_247,13] And I therefore presented these children to you all and showed you in a well-ordered correspondence to the will of Him who lives in Me and is a Lord for eternity over all creation in the whole infinity. And since I now have spoken such to you and we have time and leisure in abundance, you may speak again and show where you are still lacking. Peter, is there something else?‖ 218
Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B [GGJ.05_247,14] The disciple said, ―Oh Lord and Master, there is indeed something! But I must digest this a little bit more; for if I now came with something new, what I have just heard would leave me right away, and You would have given the great light in vain.‖ [GGJ.05_247,15] At this there was a short pause in the speaking and the disciples thought very hard about what I had just said to them. Chapter 248 [GGJ.05_248,01] But outside Peter‘s house a loud disagreement started up between some fishermen returning home, and Peter thought that we should go out in order to calm the bad argument. [GGJ.05_248,02] I said, ―Yes, you do that then, it is a good deed to settle quarrels amongst men so that their anger subsides, which is an offspring of hell and for years contaminates the heart and darkens the soul." [GGJ.05_248,03] At this Peter went out and asked the two who were still arguing outside his house what the matter was over which they had got into such a bad argument. [GGJ.05_248,04] Then one of them, who was somewhat calmer, said that the servant of a citizen from the town, who had no fishing right and was standing there in their midst, had fished with rods on one of the best fishing spots, made a very rich catch and, as they as the authorized fishermen had caught him there, chastised him and taken away his catch according to their rights, he had set himself against them and had begun to prove with the crudest expressions that he also had the full rights and could fish wherever he wanted. However he had no license and was only claiming the right, which they could not and would not tolerate. [GGJ.05_248,05] When Peter heard this, he said, ―The man is indeed a thief; but nonetheless let him go now. If he dares to be cheeky again, only then give him over to the judges; for you know yourselves that we should forgive our enemies seven times according to the Law!‖ [GGJ.05_248,06] Then the fishermen, who were holding the fish thief firmly, said, ―We have forgiven him his cheek seven times already; but the Law does not speak of forgiving eight times, and we therefore now want to place him before a judge.‖ [GGJ.05_248,07] Peter said, ―You indeed have the full right to do that; but for my sake do the better thing here and forgive him also this last time, although 219
