Christproblem ....

Just as the life of the inner human being relates to the outer world, so does the spirit relate to the soul. For the soul is the envelopment of the spirit, and the spirit can only be active according to its purpose when no obstacle is placed in its way by the soul. In the same way, the inner human being can only develop when the outer world leaves him untouched. The inner man, however, is again to be compared with the soul, with the cover of the spiritual .... certainly inwardly towards the outer world, but still outwardly towards the spirit, for the inner life of the human being is feeling, thinking and willing, and as soon as this (itself) is no longer opposed to the spirit within.) no longer opposes the spirit in itself, it no longer signifies an external fetter for the latter, but has united itself with it ....

And then the working of the spirit is unlimited, it can bring itself to unfoldment in an exceedingly rich measure, and then the human being advances inexorably in his development, for he has grasped his purpose of earthly life, and he also fulfils it .... This knowledge of the life of the spirit in the human being is necessary beforehand in order to also be able to explain the Christ problem to the human being, in order to make him understand why the man Jesus reached the highest perfection on earth, why the power and wisdom of God was at his disposal and why he is now to be addressed as a God-like being.

The human being must first know what is meant by the higher development of the spiritual in the human being, he must know that this state of union of the soul with its spirit is the result of a life of unselfish love, he must further know..., that and why love is necessary for the redemption of the spiritual in the human being and thus also of the whole human race, only then will he be able to understand why a human being, in supreme love, has accomplished the work which should be redemptive for the whole of humanity, but which again only brings redemption to the person who acknowledges Jesus Christ and His work of redemption.

But he must also know about the state of guilt in which all spiritual matter still dwells, and how this guilt affects earth as well as the beyond. Only then will he penetrate this great problem on earth, and this recognition will also shed light on countless other spiritual questions which previously seemed insoluble to him. The light now penetrates him from within, he can answer every question for himself, and he no longer needs teachings from outside, which can never impart the right wisdom to him if it has not first become light within him.

But the light which shines through the human being from within can only be gained through the working of love, because then the divine spirit in the human being awakens to life, because through love God Himself unites Himself with the human being, because then He Himself is active in him, because then the human being is on the same path as Jesus Christ to spiritualise himself through love, to assimilate himself to the eternal Deity and to become His image, so to speak. Then the human being has God in him, he has the light in him which embodied itself in Jesus Christ on earth and was thus visible to all people ....

So a true Christian is only the one who lives in love and thereby becomes like Christ, who thus crystallises himself through love so that he can be completely permeated by God's love, who bursts all shells that prevented the free development of the divine spiritual spark within himself ..... This one alone can call himself a Christian, for in him is the same life as in Jesus Christ, in him is light .... knowledge and wisdom and thus also power and strength .... But in him there is also at the same time the will to help all those who still dwell in darkness.

The redemptive urge awakens to life in them, they know about being bound and want to lead what is bound to freedom. They now participate in Christ's work of redemption, and their being is animated by the same thought that once moved Jesus Christ to take upon Himself the death of the cross ..... They, too, will be willing to sacrifice when it is necessary to bring salvation to their fellow human beings in spiritual adversity, and this willingness to sacrifice will be in accordance with their activity of love, thus in accordance with the divine love which permeates them ...., for the closer a person's soul is to the divine Redeemer and the more strength he can receive from Him when it is necessary to be active in redemption on earth, and this by risking his own earthly life ....

The human being who is united with God, who has already found union with eternal love on earth, who has fully accepted Christ into himself, i.e. who is able to do everything. Following His example, he has awakened the divine spark within himself through eager activity of love, thereby granting entrance to divine love, which now radiates through him and shapes him into a luminous vessel of the divine spirit, which now works as a source of light and strength and drives him to redemptive activity ....

Amen
