The Way of Jesus

Jesus wanted to establish that standard in his lifetime. In order to do he proclaimed at the start his of three-year public ministry:

‘He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.’ (Matt. 10:37-38)

The Messiah may be able to remove the satanic blood, but you must obey and follow him so that he can do that.

Everybody has to carry his own cross. If you cannot fulfill that standard, you cannot be saved. You must be willing to face death itself. By establishing that absolute standard, your evil blood lineage can be cleansed. In order to have it cleansed, we must work and act, not just talk about it or have feelings about it. We must do strong things, such as fasting and prayer, thus going through the boundary of life and death.

The first battle for Jesus was to go over this boundary, cherishing God’s love more than his own physical life, and establishing the condition in which he could not be accused. He had to endure terrible persecution within Joseph’s family and fast and pray for 40 days. Even though he still had life and feeling within him, the incredible course he went through led him to the brink of death. Always he had to maintain unity with God’s love in the midst of that life-and-death battle. With total determination to leave nothing unaccomplished, Jesus endured that suffering. He established victory on his own individual level, but his challenge was how to connect this with all of human history and how to reenact all past situations and set a victorious foundation, resolving all past failures, in order to stand as the Messiah.

Where is the change of blood lineage done? On the individual level, man has to go beyond the boundary of life and death. The individual has to go through life and death situations for the sake of God and the future dignity of man. That becomes the standard of faith.
