This is the eve of your birth.

No man is born alone. Another man's birth is also your own.

Jesus Christ is testament to the fact that man is immortal being. You have not really immortalized him; he is immortal. But you have preferred to see yourself as mortal. As a failing flailing one at that.

Let My son Christ be inspiration for you. Do not let the magnificence of his life deter you from your own. Let his bright light shine on you. Let it rejuvenate you. Do not put him so far away from you. Do not idolize him. Love him. He shines for you. He shines on you. He shines within you. Let him bound forth from you in joy.

The same as I do, he wishes to express through you. That is the saving of you. He wishes to escort you to Me. He wants to propel you forward into My arms of love. He wants you to take over loving man on earth on his behalf and Mine.

Christ is a great server of mankind because he served Me. He asked Me what My request for him was, and I said: "Serve Me."

He asked, just as you might, "How?"

And I said: "Spread My light. Make My light be known on earth."

And he took up the torch. He took it up in his way. He walked the earth in My name. It was not the miracles he performed that made him holy. It was his beingness, and every atom of his being was conscious of Me and My love for him and My love for you. He never considered himself a performer of miracles. He merely performed My Will and allowed Me to ignite his life.

He gave up his ego so that you might live. He gave up his ego long ago so that he might truly live. Whatever he did, he did for Me. Whatever is done for Me is done for all. It is a simple equation. You equals you equals you.

You are not inadequate. You are not adequate. You are great beyond measure. Only you have been measuring yourself and finding yourself wanting. And that is the crux of your problem.

Why do you look to yourself when you can look to Me? I offer Myself to you, and you desist.

What do you think surrender is? It is surrendering to greatness. It is surrendering to greater than yourself. It is forgetting yourself and your little quandaries. It is remembering Me and stepping up beside Me. It is aiding Me. It is helping Me to revolve the universe.

Surrender is not holding back. It is not giving up. It is gaining that which is already yours. You are the Heir Apparent. You are the Inheritor of the earth. Through your inheritance, you announce Heaven. You reveal it on earth. You pick up dust, and you reveal its light.

What do you think Christ gave up? He gave up poor vision for great light. He gave up pettiness for love. He gave up selfishness for Heaven. He understood the cycle of offering and return. He thought not of return except to Me. He offered Me everything, and so he gave to you, for He followed My Will, My Will of love and intelligence, My Will of peace and joy for you who roam on earth.

Christ did not abandon earth. He abandoned earth ways. He did not abandon thought; he thought with Me.

His individuality became universality.

He lost nothing.

He gained everything.

He is still showing you the way.

Every gene that Jesus possessed, you have.

You are My generation.

I generated you.

I generated you for something, not for nothing.

Pick up your sword. Your sword is your spine. Stand tall and serve My Will. Ennoble yourself. I have chosen you.
