Ophelius: Todays lesson is on caring for the elderly.
It is the duty of all faith sons and daughters as believers in the Kingdom
to minister to the elderly, and to prepare them for afterlife on the
mansion worlds. Those who know these truths must communicate to these
frail and fearful souls who are near the doorstep of eternity, and who
may have no idea of what will await them upon their resurrection. Too
often do we avoid the subject of death and what lies ahead, because
we, ourselves, have been so ill prepared by the orthodoxy of religion
on this planet. If these patriarchs of humanity had even the vaguest
the most remote -- idea of the process and the conditions of
afterlife, it would make a tremendous difference in their transition
by the elimination of much confusion and fear. Having a little knowledge
of the grand adventure would make death something to look forward to,
rather than some great unknown to dread.
This is not an easy thing to talk about with elderly folks who
are very set in their ways, and especially when you yourself have no
firsthand knowledge of mansion world life and the process of crossing
over. You can however, use the knowledge and descriptions given in your
Urantia Book to seed the minds of these souls -- to tell them of the
loved ones that will be waiting to greet them in the resurrection halls
of Mansonia -- of the great peace and beauty of the realms of light
and the glorified bodies that they will have that are free from all
infirmity. Tell them of the great opportunities that await them, the
learning of anything they desire, and the chance to find God and to
become perfect as He is perfect.
Tell them to unload the burdens of guilt, regret, and the trespasses
of others, for the past can not be undone. Tell them to look boldly
into the future and imagine the possibilities, the glory, and the love
that awaits them. Yes, they will listen to you, for they crave to hear
these words, even if they outwardly evade such discussions. They will
want to know and to hear the good news. Dont wait until they are
on their deathbed to tell them these things, tell them today, so they
may think and distill these things into a comforting assurance of things
to come.
The telling of the Good News and the glories of the afterlife
will help these souls progress despite the apparent crystallization
of their beliefs. Truth has a way of cutting through the density of
the most veiled fears and taking root in the human heart where it will
blossom and grow into new paradigms of faith, hope, courage, and love.
Go boldly to the harvest my beloved,
The Circle of Seven.
