Why does Jesus behave as he does exposing himself to trouble and danger?
Jesus on the three judgements of man
the first judgement
The particular judgement
the last judgement
<<Well, then, why at times does He behave as He does, exposing Himself to trouble and danger?>> asks Andrew desolately.
<<Who knows? I cannot tell you>> says Thaddeus shrugging his shoulders. And the others agree with him.
John is silent. His brother teases him: <<Since you always know everything about Jesus — at times you seem to be very close to each other — has He ever told you why He behaves like that?>>
<<Yes. I asked Him also recently. He aways replied: “Because I must. I must act as if the whole world were of ignorant but good people. I teach everybody the same doctrine and thus the children of Truth will be separated from those of Falsehood”. He also said to me: “See, John? This is like a first judgment, not a universal or collective one, but a single judgement. According to their action of faith, charity and justice, lambs will be separated from kids. And that will last also afterwards, when I shall no longer be here, but there will be My Church, for ever and ever, until the end of the world. The first judgement of the mass of human people will take place in the world, where men act freely, in front of Good and Evil, Truth and Falsehood. As the first judgement took place in the Earthly Paradise, in front of the tree of Good and Evil, infringed by those who disobeyed God. Then at the death of each individual, the judgement already written in the book of human actions by a faultless Mind will be ratified. The Great, the Terrible Judgement will be the last one, when the mass of men will be judged again. From Adam to the last man. They will be judged for what they freely wanted for themselves on the earth. Now, if I should select by Myself those who deserve the Word of God, Miracle, Love and those who do not — and I could do it by divine right and ability — those who are excluded, even if they were demons, on the day of their individual judgement, would shout loud; ‘Your Word is the culprit because He did not want to teach us’. But they will not be able to say that…. or rather, they will say so, lying once more. And they will therefore be judged”.>>
