II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"...Touch Me not; for I am not yet ascended to My Father...." John 20:17
HEAR – beloved – the mystery words unto LIFE: "Touch Me not" – for, "if as yet you are in the consciousness of death, and in grief over physical matters YOU CAN HAVE NO LIFE-COMMUNION WITH ME" (touch Me not) – "but GO AND TELL MY BRETHREN...." Yet the words of Mary's mouth were not believed! Neither are yours UNLESS HE REIGNS WITHIN YOUR HEART! The matters of EARTH are for the carnally conscious, while DEATH but an emanation from the Pit. IN THAT FRAME OF MIND YOU CANNOT TOUCH THE NEW LIFE! The Prince of Death has been defeated in battle, while his lurid domain is but a tottering horror out of the past.... "GO AND TELL THEM...HE WILL GO BEFORE YOU INTO GALILEE...." The bands of DEATH have rent with the roar of an earthquake: ENTER INTO LIFE AND SHOUT! The arch foe and his legions have been smashed in battle: REJOICE AND COMMENCE TO SING! Let LIFE take root in your mind, THEN BEAR THE MESSAGE OF LIFE PRESENT AND ETERNAL UNTO OTHERS. The wagging of your tongue will never do it! (They didn't believe!) CHRIST MUST REIGN UPON THE THRONE OF YOUR HEART. Prattle not about tomorrow: LIFE IS FOR TODAY! Console not your heart over distant joys: TODAY MUST YOUR SOUL BREAK FORTH IN SONG. THEN shall you be able to tell His brethren (effectively); THEN let Him go before you into every day's life in the objective (the meaning of "Galilee"). HE MUST LEAD (He is the HEAD and Lord of Life).
God's Signature (continued tomorrow...)
