136:6.7 (1518.6) Jesús
se condolía de su pueblo; entendía plenamente cómo habían sido conducidos a
esperar al Mesías venidero, cuando “la tierra producirá diez mil veces más
frutos, y una vid tendrá mil pámpanos, y cada pámpano producirá mil racimos, y
cada racimo producirá mil uvas, y cada uva producirá un barril de vino”. LOS
JUDÍOS CREÍAN QUE EL
136:6.8 (1519.1) MESÍAS
INAUGURARÍA UNA ERA DE MILAGROSA ABUNDANCIA. DURANTE MUCHO TIEMPO SE NUTRIERON
LOS HEBREOS DE TRADICIONES DE MILAGROS Y LEYENDAS DE PRODIGIOS.
136:6.9 (1519.2) No era
él un Mesías que venía para multiplicar el pan y el vino. No venía para
ministrar tan sólo las necesidades temporales; venía para revelar su Padre
celestial a sus hijos terrenales, mientras trataba de conducir a estos hijos
para que con él hicieran el esfuerzo sincero de vivir haciendo la voluntad del
Padre celestial.
(1518.6) 136:6.7 Jesus sorrowed for his people; he fully understood how they had been led up to the expectation of the coming Messiah, the time when “the earth will yield its fruits ten thousandfold, and on one vine there will be a thousand branches, and each branch will produce a thousand clusters, and each cluster will produce a thousand grapes, and each grape will produce a gallon of wine.” THE JEWS BELIEVED THE MESSIAH WOULD USHER IN AN ERA OF MIRACULOUS PLENTY. THE HEBREWS HAD LONG BEEN NURTURED ON TRADITIONS OF MIRACLES AND LEGENDS OF WONDERS.
(1519.1) 136:6.8 He was not a Messiah coming to multiply bread and wine. He came not to minister to temporal needs only; he came to reveal his Father in heaven to his children on earth, while he sought to lead his earth children to join him in a sincere effort so to live as to do the will of the Father in heaven.
(1519.2) 136:6.9 In this decision Jesus of Nazareth portrayed to an onlooking universe the folly and sin of prostituting divine talents and God-given abilities for personal aggrandizement or for purely selfish gain and glorification. That was the sin of Lucifer and Caligastia.
