Nayebare Marvin's Wall
181:1:2 (1953.4) “When I have returned to live in you and work through you, I can the better lead you on through this life and guide you through the many abodes in the future life in the heaven of heavens. Life in the Father’s eternal creation is not an endless rest of idleness and selfish ease but rather a ceaseless progression in grace, truth, and glory. Each of the many, many stations in my Father’s house is a stopping place, a life designed to prepare you for the next one ahead. And so will the children of light go on from glory to glory until they attain the divine estate wherein they are spiritually perfected even as the Father is perfect in all things."
181:1.3 (1953.5) “If you would follow after me when I leave you, put forth your earnest efforts to live in accordance with the spirit of my teachings and with the ideal of my life—the doing of my Father’s will. This do instead of trying to imitate my natural life in the flesh as I have, perforce, been required to live it on this world."
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...
