352:Judgement and love are opposites

Judgment and love are opposites.  From one
Come all the sorrows of the world.  But from
The Other comes the peace of God Himself.”

“Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You.  Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind.  Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again.  I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way.  You have not left me comfortless.  I have
within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to It.  Father, I would hear Your Voice, and find Your peace today.  For I would love my own Identity, and find in Him the memory of You.”

343: I am not asked to make a sacrifice

Lesson 343 “I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God.”

The end of suffering can not be loss.  The gift of everything can but be gain.  You only give.  You never take away.  And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You.  I, too, must give, and so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I remain.  Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You.  I am complete because I am Your Son.  I cannot lose, for I can only give.  And everything is mine eternally.”

The mercy and the peace of God are free.  Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given and received, and it is this that
we would learn today.

337: My sinlessness protects me from all harm.

Lesson 337 “My sinlessness protects me from all harm.”

My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering.  And only happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me.  What must I do to know all this is mine?  I must accept Atonement for myself, and nothing more.  God has already done all things that need be done.  And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel Godʹs Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son; to know I am the Son my Father loves.

You who created me in sinlessness are not mistaken about what I am.  I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself.  Father, my dream is ended now.  Amen.”

Issues facing the world…

All of the solutions to the issues facing the world and those who live upon it have been pursued separately from one another and from God—
until recently. Now unity is being sought and unity is being found. But these issues, when removed from feelings, still remain issues. They remain social causes, environmental causes, political causes. The cause of all these issues is fear. The cause and effect of love is all that will replace these causes of fear with the means and end that will transform them along with you. You are means and end. It is within your power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your power will save the world.

As you can see, it is difficult for me, even now, even in this final address to you as the man Jesus, to speak of feelings without addressing the grand scheme of things. I want to comfort and reassure you in this final message. I want to tell you to be embraced by love and to let all the feelings of love flowing through you now find their expression. I desire, more than anything, your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the power that will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and what you want to hear. I know you have long waited for your feelings to be addressed in a more personal way. But please remember than none of the approaches that have been used to “address” your feelings in the way you might desire have
worked. This will work.

This is the secret of succession, your promised inheritance. This is the gift of love I came to give and give newly now, to you. Blessed brother and sister, we feel the same love, the same compassion, the same tenderness for each other and the world. This is unity. This will save us. This will save the world.
