Wow, such an enlightened and intelligent perspective, as it is true! We do not become perfect upon our death(who do you know was perfect when they died?!)and because we are still SO imperfect, and because we have been mandated by the Father to become perfect as he is(meaning a perfect ME!), we will have a long, long, long, long way to go before we are even at the shores of Paradise!
SO good for traditional Christians to read and understand this! The first paragraph talks about how he can the better lead us co pared to when he was here, because after Pentecost he bestowed upon all flesh his Spirit of Truth, that spirit comforter which embodies the Father’s love and the Son's mercy. That is why he can be with us "better"/personally. And he mentions the many abodes and the many, many stations, which are the world's where we need to pass and learn on how to become perfect so we will make a fitting presentation to our Perfect Father in Paradise!
In the second paragraph, he says "put forth your earnest efforts..." he does NOT say, act perfectly each day in according to the Father’s Will, as he knows how imperfect we are! And THAT was HIS plan! To see if we could use all the help he has given each of us to make the right decisions on our way to Him!
And while we cannot imitate his "natural" life, that of his eating, and daily habits as lived 2000 years ago in his country, we CAN study HOW he treated everyone and in our OWN way we can be as loving, kind, tolerant, forgiving, etc...
