Like the Virgin Birth of
Jesus, it was a miracle but the men of flesh
can only believe what they can see with their two
naked eyes. For
example, Simon Peter was a man of flesh and it were
the marvels of
miracles that pleased him the most.
For a detailed discussion on
such a topic it is essential that we
understand the three types of disciples that
constitute the Church of
God and not the false Church of England headed by
Queen, the head of
Mammon in Great Britain. Jesus in Matt.13.33 has
stressed this: "The
Kingdom of God is like unto Leaven ("His Word"),
which a Woman ("Holy Spirit", the Mother of
"common sense") took and hid in three
measures of flour (three types of people), till the
whole (Church of God) was leavened." Flour,
which is the body of Jesus, was not leavened or
biased against any views, Jewish or non-Jewish.
Hearts of such a
member of congregation are like those of the little
children who are not biased but open-minded. This is
demonstrated in Luke 24-13 to 33 where two men were
travelling to Emmaus and Jesus appeared among their
company to know the matters of their hearts.
Therefore, the Bread that Jesus broke at the "Last
Supper", the Baptism of Jesus in Spirit, was not
leavened meaning that His disciples would be "open-minded".
The three types of people
that you come across in a Church of God are:-
1. Holy sons - Men of flesh,
BAE MUKH, who can understand only the
things of flesh. Simon Peter before receiving his
Wage of the "Holy
Spirit" at Pentecost was a typical person of
this type. They are also
like the "foot-paths" over which the Seed
("His Word") falls.
2. Holy fathers - Doubting
men of spirit, SUNN MUKH, who understand "His
Word" but they do not develop enough "faith"
to be convinced of God? Their faith in God is as deep
as the rocky soil and by nature they are very
inquisitive or testing types.
3. Holy ghosts - Men of
faith, GUR MUKH, who are predestined of God.They have
full faith in God but sometimes the worldly
temptations,
DUBDA, stand in their ways like thorns to choke the
fruit of their
faith. Such people do not either want to see the
miracles or test the
powers of God before believing in "His Word".
Now, in Christ/Satguru Jesus/Nanak
our covenant is of "spirit" and not
of the "letters" or law. Thus, we have
Eternal Life in our Eternal
Father, God/Akal Purakh and this truth, "sons
like the Father", is
easily accepted by the predestined men of faith but
the other two need
convincing. So, Jesus had to appear in His Astral
Body to convince
them of the nature of this Spiritual State in which
He could appear and
disappear at Will and yet having all the
characteristics of the
physical body.
This Astral Body of Jesus
was different from His earthly physical body
in that all except by those whom Jesus wished to show
Himself up could
not see it. Thus, the clever and unbelieving people
like the Judas
Iscariot and the Pharisees and Sadducees, whom John,
the Baptist
refused to baptise and termed them as a "brood
of vipers", could not see Jesus in His Astral
Body as they used to see Him in the earthly body
before His crucifixion on the Cross.
Further, Jesus in His
Resurrected state never preached His disciples as
the "Last Supper", which was also His
Baptism of disciples (Judas
Iscariot excluding - remember the Parable of the
marriage of the Son in
which a man who was not "properly dressed"
was cast out into hell) in
Holy Spirit, was the Finishing Touch to His earthly
Ministry.
Therefore, in the resurrected state Jesus came to re-assure
His disciples of His ever presence among and care of
them. Thus, Jesus being the Head of His Church of God
looks after His disciples as He did in the miracle of
Saul on Damascus road.
Now, the rising of Jesus on
the Third Day was like the Sun rising in
the East in the Morning to dispel the "fog of
falsehoods, KOORR" that
develops during the night (religious Darkness) and
for this reason, the
resurrection of Jesus is called Easter. As you know
Sun is the Primary
Source of Light and so are the Christs/Satgurus, of
God, Who preach
what is of God and not of the man as the Pandits/Rabbis,
the reflection of Moon used to do. Although there
were many Sons of God, the Suns or
SURAJ, but Jesus/Nanak were the Special anointed Sons
of God.
Rabbis in the Middle East
teach the moral laws of Moses, the Moon and
the same is true in the East where the moral laws of
Shri Ram Chander
Ji are taught by the Brahmins/Pandits. As you know
"Chand" stands for
Moon, so Shri Ram Chander Ji or Moses of India was
the light of Moon, a witness to the Light, Sun or God
but not the Light as John, the
Baptist, a Levi Priest of Moses was. Further, the
Hindu Temples/Synagogues face towards East so that
the very Source of Light that is kept in mind on
making the moral laws is not forgotten.
Thus, we had lunar months in
Rabbis/Pandits but we have solar months in
Jesus or the Apostles/Nirmallae Sants. And this is
the Age of Christ,
Satguru MATT WAILA, and not those of the Rabbis or
Pandits. In order to honour the First anointed Christ
Jesus, Resurrection event could be nothing else to be
known as than "Easter".
"HOLY SPIRIT (common
sense) SHATTERS THE FETTERS OF LETTERS AND,
THEREFORE, ESTABLISH YOUR COVENANT WITH JESUS IN HOLY
SPIRIT TO RECEIVE GOSPEL AND NOT IN THE DRY LETTERS
OF THE BIBLE/BOOKS"
