John 1:41 The Christ

⁴¹He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. -John 1:41 Bible, King James Version



The word Christ is an official title which means, The Master of Love. When we say "Jesus, the Christ" we refer to the man and to his office.

CHAPTER 68.

¹The news soon spread abroad that Jesus, king of Israel, had come to Bethany, and all the people of the town came forth to greet the king.

²And Jesus, standing in the midst of them, exclaimed, Behold, indeed, the king has come, but Jesus is not king.

³The kingdom truly is at hand; but men can see it not with carnal eyes; they cannot see the king upon the throne.

⁴This is the kingdom of the soul; its throne is not an earthly throne; its king is not a man...

¹¹Men call me Christ, and God has recognized the name; but Christ is not a man. The Christ is univer­sal love, and Love is king.

¹²This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations over­come, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men.

¹³Then hear, you men of Israel, hear! Look not upon the flesh; it is not king. Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.

¹⁴When you have purified your hearts by faith, the king will enter in, and you will see his face.

¹⁵And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?

¹⁶And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.

 

CHAPTER 79.

 John explains to the multitude the mis­sion of Jesus.

⁷I have performed the work that I was sent to do; the work of Jesus just begins.

⁸Then turning to the multi­tudes he said, Christ is the king of righteousness; Christ is the love of God; yea, he is God; one of the holy persons of the Triune God.

⁹Christ lives in every heart of purity.

¹⁰Now, Jesus who is preaching at the Jordan ford, has been sub­jected to the hardest tests of human life, and he has conquered all the ap­petites and passions of the carnal man.

¹¹And by the highest court of heaven, has been declared a man of such superior purity and holiness that he can demonstrate the pres­ence of the Christ on earth.

¹²Lo, love divine, which is the Christ, abides in him, and he is pat­tern for the race.

¹³And every man can see in him what every man will be when he has conquered all the passions of the selfish self.

¹⁴In water I have washed the bodies of the people who have turned from sin, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul;

¹⁵But Jesus bathes forever in the living waters of the Holy Breath.

¹⁶And Jesus comes to bring the savior of the world to men; Love is the savior of the world.

¹⁷And all who put their trust in Christ, and follow Jesus as a pat­tern and a guide, have everlasting life.

¹⁸But they who do not trust the Christ, and will not purify their hearts so that the Christ can dwell within, can never enter life.

CHAPTER 128.

¹⁶...Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail;

¹⁷About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul...

CHAPTER 129.

⁶Where is your profit if you gain the world and lose your soul? What would you take in payment for your soul?

⁷If you would find the spirit life, the life of man in God, then you must walk a narrow way and enter through a narrow gate.

⁸The way is Christ, the gate is Christ, and you must come up by the way of Christ. No man comes unto God but by the Christ.
