The Balance Between Worship and Service
Excerpt: Chap. 22, Going Through Samaria
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

And organized religion is the attempt to socialize those people into worshiping together. He explained that worship, the contemplation of God, has to be alternated with service, actually dealing with the material world. Just like work needs to be balanced with play, religion needs to be balanced with humor, and deep philosophical matters need to be relieved with poetry.

Son of Man: Urantia, is a restatement of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the Urantia revelation and in accordance with its urging to do so for today’s generation.

Nauda's Forgiveness and Transformation
Excerpt: Chap. 22, Going Through Samaria
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Jesus could tell that Nauda's life was more from having been sinned against than having sinned herself. He saw that she sincerely wanted salvation, and that was enough. But just as she was about to tell this to Jesus, the apostles returned. To say the least, they were stunned to see Jesus talking to a young, pretty Samaritan woman. But they held their peace and said nothing. They did not have the courage to challenge Jesus. Instead, they stowed the supplies from town and went off a short distance to wait. While the apostles were busying themselves, Jesus said to Nauda, Woman, go your way. God has forgiven you. From here on out, you will live a new life. You have been given the living water, and now new joy will spring up in your soul, and you will become a daughter of the Most High.

Differentiating Prayer and Worship
Excerpt: Chap. 22, Going Through Samaria
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Prayer is sustaining, where worship is divinely creative. Prayer is working on oneself. Worship is forgetting oneself. Worship is looking to the One for inspiration in how to serve the many. It is a son's personal communion with the Father, and it qualifies the extent that a soul is detached from the material world and secure in its embrace of spiritual realities.

New About Son of Man: Urantia Project

Thomas' Doubt and Jesus' Clarification
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Thomas was still confused and said, But Master, in our experience, the Father in heaven is not always kind and merciful. We suffer much on earth, and our prayers are not always answered. What are we missing? Jesus replied, Thomas, Thomas, how long is it going to be before you can hear with the ear of the Spirit? When are you going to realize that this is a spiritual kingdom and that God our Father is a spiritual being? Why can you not see that I am teaching you as spirits in the spiritual family of heaven and that the head of that family is an eternal and infinite spirit?

Thomas' Questions on Apostleship
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Thomas brought up the rules that Jesus had earlier given to the apostles for their personal lives when he ordained them as kingdom ambassadors. Now, he wanted to know what rules they were supposed to teach the people to frame their lives. Should Jesus' disciples own slaves? Should people embrace poverty and give up material things? And would mercy somehow take over so we will no longer need laws and justice? First, Jesus made clear that he was living a different life on earth than everyone else. And because of that, there were certain rules that he was supposed to follow. Likewise, the apostles had an obligation to follow many of those same rules.

Clarification: temporal and eternal

I posted recently on the caution in part four of the Urantia revelation that in these days the greatest threat to believers will be holding to their faith, and reminded people that in the end all that really matters in this brief life is dying with our belief in the fatherhood of God and knowing that we have progressively grown in our ability to show others the fruits of the spirit and in turn draw them to God the father.

I should have said “all that really matters in an eternal sense,” so it did not appear that temporal matters were unimportant, which was pointed out in one of my posts.

To be clear, and more than I care to share, tattooed on my back in Latin is “Defend liberty, Protect the innocents, and Serve man for God.” I live this, and if I ever have a chance to serve again in the effort to end the harm now being done to children, I will and God have mercy on the bad guys because I will be stretched to offer it.

Our duty on Earth is to become the best we can be so we can in turn better serve humanity for the sake of God. That said, at the point of death—no matter what did or did not happen in your brief life—ALL that matters is your faith in God and knowing you showed some level, no matter how small, of progress in your life. If not, it ends. Your choice.

Please, everyone, time is short. Put parts 1-3 of the revelation aside for a time and study as best you can the life and teachings of Jesus. Anyone can memorize static information and pet their ego and run around feeling like they know something “special.” But few people can engage material that puts them immediately in front of the mirror and challenges them to become better people for the sake of God. Part 4 of the revelation has the information needed to transform ourselves and hence the world, but it cannot be told to people it has to be shown. The more we can speak less and instead draw people to us through our conduct the better we serve the kingdom of heaven.

The Son of Man: Urantia Project is a resource for people to use in their own efforts to spread what we have been told is the most important knowledge we can garner in this first short life on Earth. Please subscribe at the link below.

Nicodemus' Moment of Faith
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Eventually, Nicodemus did manage enough faith to enter the kingdom. When his colleagues in the Sanhedrin wanted to condemn Jesus without a hearing, he only gave a half-hearted protest. But later, with Joseph of Arimathea, he boldly stated his faith when they claimed Jesus' body, even though most of the disciples had run away in fear from their master's final suffering.

Call for Spiritual Maturity
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

These are the concerns of the people in the world. You have been called as spiritual ambassadors of a spiritual kingdom to represent me in the world, even as I am here to represent our Father. Do I have to speak to you like children forever? By this time, I should be able to teach you like adults of the spirit kingdom. When are you going to grow up and be able to see the spirit? Regardless, I love you and I will bear with you for long, for as long as we are together on earth. And after I have left my spirit, will go before you into all the world.

Excerpt: Ch. 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 3/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Michael incarnated as the mortal Jesus on Earth for several reasons. His purpose was to clarify that God is an actual spiritual presence in our minds, and that when possible God guides us toward perfection—toward oneness with him, the First Source and Center. After Adam and Eve failed in their mission to uplift humanity and the Earth became one of planets quarantined from the rest of the universe, our world fell into spiritual confusion; we lost the knowledge that the spirit of God is inside every person’s mind: the saving grace that there is no separation between us and God and that the brotherhood of humanity is united through that presence became hidden.

Excerpt: Ch. 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 2/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Early the morning of April 2nd, 3 B.C. Mary had her second child, James. This was the first of Jesus’ siblings and he was excited to be an older brother. A couple of months later Joseph built a small carpenter shop in town so he could take work from the caravans that stopped at Nazareth for repairs after crisscrossing the desert. His brothers were his partners, and while Joseph would work in the shop making yokes and plows his brothers took their tools and worked around town. Watching his father and then later working with him was how Jesus learned his trade working with wood.

Excerpt: Chapter 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 1/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

After the family arrived in Alexandria they stayed with Joseph’s relatives. Mary was a diligent mother, and Jesus was healthy and had large group of friends. Because of all that had occurred Mary was at first over protective, but with some urging from Joseph she finally relaxed. For the most part everyone kept quiet about Jesus being a special child, but eventually the word leaked out. Before the family left to return to Palestine a group of people tried to convince Mary and Joseph that if Jesus really was special they should raise him right there in Alexandria. They argued that he would have more influence as a spiritual leader in that grand city than in some small town in Palestine. Mary and Joseph were not convinced, and after the group finally gave up trying to change their minds they instead gifted Jesus with a complete copy of the Jewish scriptures that had been translated into Greek. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus left Alexandria for Palestine in August, 4 B.C. By the beginning of October they were back in Nazareth: they arrived with a new donkey and five relatives who had insisted on walking along with them for their safety.
