Dear friends,
We got this picture coming on our email today, showing then truth even as Jesus said that the poor would embrace the gospel. We should recall that this gospel is for everyone, even the poor!

    Brilliant. One of our brothers just sent us this picture as we was with friends in their community trying to learn about the revelation. He was holding the book which we delivered to him a few months ago. Great works ongoing

    We know it's hard to share Urantia Book teachings in Africa, but we trust the Spirit of Truth helps people understand spiritual values and universe meanings, leading to a personal connection with God.

      141:7.8 To insure the recognition of his Father in the unfolding of the plan of the kingdom, Jesus explained that he had purposely ignored the "great men of earth." He began his work with the poor, the very class which had been so neglected by most of the evolutionary religions of preceding times. He despised no man; his plan was world-wide, even universal. He was so bold and emphatic in these announcements that even Peter, James, and John were tempted to think he might possibly be beside himself.

     

      143:1.5 "But who told you that my gospel was intended only for slaves and weaklings? Do you, my chosen apostles, resemble weaklings? Did John look like a weakling? Do you observe that I am enslaved by fear? True, the poor and oppressed of this generation have the gospel preached to them. The religions of this world have neglected the poor, but my Father is no respecter of persons. Besides, the poor of this day are the first to heed the call to repentance and acceptance of sonship. The gospel of the kingdom is to be preached to all men -- Jew and gentile, Greek and Roman, rich and poor, free and bond -- and equally to young and old, male and female.

    It was the poor who came first in large numbers providing the fruit bearing religionists who brought Christianity to the world.
