They see on all sides clear evidence that the close of a World Age is at hand. Jesus’ mission on earth two thousand years ago, announced the Father’s invitation to His Children to return and inherit the Kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world. The road of return was described and made plain. The way was actually trodden in the daily life of Him who has been named the Wayshower. The process which each man must pass through in his own being before he earns the white robes of the redeemed, was lived out as a pattern by the Elder Brother of the human race, even unto His surrender and His death on the Cross. |
