to find the body that suits you best & cling to it.

Q. Will you explain, the death - the Crucifixion
and resurrection of Christ.
A. You are asking a great deal for one time
but we will begin. The death of Christ
and his mode of death were inevitable, for
man would not allow such a pure life to
exist in his atmosphere. It was not, as
some suppose an expiation. His death was a
part of his plan, for it was necessary for him
to die, in order that he might prove that
he governed death as he did life.
He said, you know, "No man taketh my
life, but I lay it down of myself."
His resurrection was exactly as it is recorded
and is the great truth of your religion.

Q. Why did the disciples not recognize
Jesus when he appeared to them after his death?
A. Because after his resurrection his body
was a spiritual body and their natural
eyes could not behold him. When they
really saw him it was with their spiritual eyes.
