The Personification of the Redeemer must take place universally, even as Benjamin Franklin’s invention of electricity has been universally established. It is not only in one bottle now.

Just think of it, when it was first harnessed or brought down, it was in one bottle, was it not? But now just look at the different bottles in this room. Every electric bulb is a bottle. Just think of how many bottles are here.

The invention of electricity was but a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a percent of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the mystery of GOD working. It was a scientific invention expressing in a parable to some degree, that degree of the expression of the fraction of the grain of it, according to MY illustration, and this parable was merely done on the material plane to show you what GOD could do in the souls and bodies of men, how HE would fill and thrill them with His light, life and love, for:

“In him was life, and that life was the light of men that

lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”

Just think of it! Being lighted as the electric bulb – – lighted from the great high tension wire of salvation. The power is coming from the power house!

New Day l/19/57; p16,cl

You hardly ever see a setting hen flying around. You hardly ever see one singing and going around.

“O Jerusalem, how oft would I have hovered thee

As a hen hovers her brood, and ye would not.”

The hen will set on an egg. The hen is not flying around. When she is hatching she stays there until they are hatched, and after they are hatched she stays there with the chicks and leads them and guides them, and she will not even fly over the fence when she could fly over it. She will lead them and guide them and teach them how to go through the fence. She shows them the way they should go and lives with them; and as they advance, she advances the expression of herself to them that she may not be far away from them in their expression and manifestation of life. It is wonderful! She shows them the way. She teaches them how to scratch.

Truly might the hen have been as a point of view for the consideration of this great Kingdom of GOD.

“O Jerusalem, thou that persecutest the prophets, how oft would

I have hovered thee as a hen hovers her brood, and ye would not.”

I AM functioning in your world and just in the place or on the plane I will come to show you just beyond what is in your expression, that ye might see the way to go.

Oh, for a closer walk with GOD, a calm and a heavenly frame. It is a light that shines on the road. If the light was showing far before you, it would still be dark where you are at. Therefore, let your light shine on the road. It is a light on thy pathway and a lamp unto they feet.
