The Work of the Sun
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 5, 19 – 30:
Jesus answered and said to the Jews, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing, for what he does, his son will do also. For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes. Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he give to his Son the possession of life in himself. And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.
I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.”
Again I thank all those who have helped me in paying bills. I was told that the money to build the shrine and the monasteries will soon come. I still have some bills to pay and when I pay them then I will receive the date to receive the money. I look forward now to pay the rest I owe. Please pray that I will be able to find the money I need. Thank you all for your gifts and your prayers.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you to love My Father as you love Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are close to Me. I told the Jews one day about the closeness I am to My Father. I only do what the Father shows Me but I would never do what He has never asked Me to do. I know that He loves Me, His Son, and He shows Me everything He does. He will show Me greater things than these and you would be amazed. You know that the Father can bring the dead back to life and He has given Me the same power and I have used it many times. The Father has left Me to judge the people so that the people may honor Me. I tell you that those who believe in Me and follow My words, will have eternal life and they will pass from death to life. I tell you that it is near when all those in the tombs will hear My voice and will come forth alive and those who have done good deeds will go to the resurrection of life in heaven. However, those who have done wicked deeds will go to the resurrection of condemnation. Know that My judgment is just and everyone will be judged according to what sort of deeds he or she has done. I bless you all.”
