Chapter 5
AGE FOR GOSPEL
In order to appreciate the significance of "spirit", let us distinguish between the "letters" and the "spirit" by giving an example. Now, it is written in the moral laws that if a person steals, then he should be handed over to the law keepers. But in some parts of the world, the people would let a hungry man go if he takes enough food from a farm just to fill his hungry stomach. This custom of generosity represents the "Holy spirit" of God but it cannot be written down into the law books in black and white for the clever men of letters will exploit such acts of generosity. So, in accordance with the man-made laws that are mostly obeyed and quoted by the letters, it is unlawful to steal but exceptions to these moral laws are made by tempering them with the holy spirit. Thus, holy spirit is nothing else but "common sense" that only the sensible people who can handle the Treasures of God, do exercise in their daily life e.g. the Samaritan man who looked after the wounded person that had been overlooked by the other two men of "letters".
Now, both Nicodemus and the young enthusiast in the name of Saul were clean-hearted pious persons who were obeying the moral laws by the letters. Yet they were both blind to "spirit" but fortunately Saul being still young man of conscience or of inquiring mind, he was capable of receiving "His Word" without taking a physical re-birth.
The reason why Saul and not Nicodemus was capable of receiving "His Word" without taking a re-birth will become clear through an analogy that we are like plants planted by our heavenly father Yahweh who in the manners of a Farmer expects us to bear fruit – Matt. 13v24-30. Thus says Jesus in Mark 4v26-29: "This is what the heavenly kingdom of Yahweh is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil (faith in God) produces corn - first the stalk (once-born ego stage), then the ear (the twice-born spiritual stage of discerning intellect in which the person receives “His Word”), then the full kernel in the ear (the person Preaches Gospel to develop the Fruit for our Father). As soon as the grain is ripe, He, our Father, puts the sickle to it (rewards the person Salvation) because the harvest has come (the person is worthy of Salvation)."
Thus, we are plants planted by God and our natural growth is compared with that of a "corn" plant. So, when a person is a child, he is like a plant having only the "blades". That is, the children being led by "ego", they have no "spiritual ears" to hear "His Word" and that was the reason why the Labourers of Jesus rebuked those who brought the little children to Him for blessing. However, as the person becomes adult or better comes of age as stressed by Jesus in John 9.21:"But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don't know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself", then the person becomes Master of his own destiny or Solitary called developing "ears" to hear "His Word" and it is like a corn plant that brings forth "ears" with protruding tender and sticky "silk" threads that are capable of receiving pollen grains shed by the long and feathery "tassels" that also appear at the right time on top of the stalk.
Now, a corn plant can have a varied number of ears but only a few receive pollen grains to produce fruit. Thus, those ears on which the pollen grains fall but they do not receive them are like the "sensible" people who understand "His Word" but they do not care to put It into practice. In fact, they are like the satanic people of evil spirit, the hypocrites as of Jerusalem to whom Christ Jesus preached "His Word" in a plain language and afterwards cautioned them that if after understanding Gospel you still go against "His Will", then you commit blasphemy, which is not forgivable like the “sins”, which are forgiven by the Rabbi. Thus, the Saying goes, "For many are called but a very few are chosen". That is, out of the sensible people who have ears to hear Gospel, only a few will put It into practice to receive It and produce fruit (oil for the lamps) for Salvation. This Jesus summarised in Thomas Logo 23:"I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousands, and they shall stand as a single one".
In Jesus, we are to be solitary.
