And if He never sent them consolation, they would still bless and praise Him.

jesus book blessed
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This sentence alone would save mankind if all books and prophets were lost. This purity of heart will bring the vision of God.

See all as Self and love all; let all idea of separateness go. . .

It is unnecessary that I should be born a Jew.

jesus believe teaching
It is an irrational claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and at the same time to hold that the greater part of his teachings have no application at the present time.

But to say that they have no application at the present time is to be ridiculous.
