Jesus’ only words, as they nailed him to the crossbeam were, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Humanity did not realize that Jesus was a Paradise Creator Son who had incarnated as a perfect mortal. He came to reveal God to humanity. And how did we respond?

The Universe Is Not Self-Existent The sovereignty of God is unlimited. It is the fundamental fact of all creation. The universe was not inevitable. The universe is not an accident. Neither is it self-existent. The universe is a work of creation— and therefore wholly subject to the will of the Creator. The Urantia Book 3:6.2

Post 90 Jesus and the Woman Caught in Adultery When the hired agents of the Sanhedrin brought the woman caught in adultery before Jesus, they thought they could trap him. If he upheld the law of Moses, Rome would move against him; if refused to stone her, he would break the law of Moses. How does Jesus respond? He simply writes in the sand and her accusers silently disappear, one at a time. He outwits their trap, while showing mercy to the woman by saving her life. THE URANTIA BOOK Paper 162, Section 3

Post 68 Jesus - The Kingdom of God Is WITHIN You Jesus - “Your message to the world shall be: Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and in finding these, all other things essential to eternal survival shall be secured therewith. And now would I make it plain to you that this kingdom of my Father will not come with an outward show of power or with unseemly demonstration. You are not to go hence in the proclamation of the kingdom, saying, ‘it is here’ or ‘it is there,’ for this kingdom of which you preach is God within you.” THE URANTIA BOOK – Paper 140:1.5

Post 69 – The Mystery of Divine Indwelling Jesus tells us, “The kingdom of God is within you”. And that kingdom of God is an actual spiritual fragment of God, living within the mortal mind, there to guide the growth of the soul towards its eternal destiny. Of all the mysteries, none is deeper than this: that the Universal Father dwells within the mortal mind. The way God lives with the mortals of time is the mystery of mysteries.

Post 63 The Difference Between Worship and Prayer Worship is for its own sake; prayer embodies a self-interest element; that is the great difference between worship and prayer. There is absolutely no self-request or other element of personal interest in true worship; we simply worship God for what we comprehend him to be. Worship asks nothing and expects nothing for the worshiper. We do not worship the Father because of anything we may derive from such veneration; we render such devotion and engage in such worship as a natural and spontaneous reaction to the recognition of the Father’s matchless personality and because of his lovable nature and adorable attributes.

Post 59 - Nothing Can Stop a Hungry Heart If you are sincerely and spiritually motivated, if you truly desire to know God and become like him, there exists no mortal deprivation which can prevent such a divinely motivated soul from securely ascending to the portals of Paradise.

Post 60 - God Is Not Hiding — We Are The Father desires all his creatures to be in personal communion with him. God is approachable, the Father is attainable, the way is open. The Father is not in spiritual hiding, but so many of his creatures have hidden themselves away from Him in the decisions of their own willful determinations, and, for the time being, have separated themselves from communion with his spirit, and that of his Son, by choosing selfishness over altruism, by choosing self-assertiveness with their intolerant minds and unspiritual natures. Yet the Father’s loving arms remain ever open — ready to receive all who humbly turn from self-assertion to sincere seeking, from intolerance to loving service, and from unspiritual isolation to joyful communion. Paraphrasing THE URANTIA BOOK 5:1.10

Post 58 - Where All Humans Are Equal However mortals may differ in their intellectual, social, economic, and even moral opportunities, their spiritual endowment is uniform and unique. Every person shares the divine presence of the Father within, and all are equally privileged to seek intimate personal communion with this indwelling spirit of God. Paraphrasing The Urantia Book – Paper 5:1.5

Post 72 It’s Important to Know Who Jesus Is Jesus did not begin His life on this world. He is a divine Son of God who came from Paradise in the far distant past, entering this region of the grand universe to establish and rule His own Local Universe. Sovereignty over His creation was not assumed — it had to be earned. To fully understand and govern the beings He had created, it was necessary for Him to live among them, descending through the different orders of life He had brought into existence. His final bestowal was here — on our world — living as a mortal man. He lived a truly human life, yet without sin, always revealing the love and character of His Heavenly Father. And when His life in the flesh was complete, He could say with full authority: “It is finished.” We live in His creation, so He can truly declare: “No one comes to the Father except through me.” THE URANTIA BOOK
