Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 5, sect. 1895

1895. In Jesus of Nazareth or the world redeemer Christ we find a plainly evident or perfect human being J. A human being J can thus, by virtue of the principle of world redemption, be born again on Earth when it has experienced in a higher world the great birth and the cosmic consciousness and spiritual sovereignty that results from it. With this state of consciousness the being has become absolutely immune to everything that can constitute temptations or tendencies that tend to undermine the preservation of the one hundred per cent cosmic capacity of the being concerned. The world redeemer cannot be a person who can be tempted by the lethal tendencies of the one-poled sphere and thereby be led onto a downward path. His mission can be promoted only by a being that, in any degrading situation that may be inflicted upon him by the beings he is to redeem or save, continues to stand spiritually sovereign and unblemished. Behind every crucifixion, the world redeemer's mentality stands firm: regardless of which type of crucifixion, whether it be a nailing of his physical body to a cross or a defiling or lying distortion of the truth of his words and way of being, arising from mentally corrupt fantasies of intolerance and scandal. Through him the light of life emanates directly from God. It is precisely the invincibility and imperishability of this light in him that guarantees the redemption of mankind. Where God's radiance shines directly, clearly and without bias, no downfall can take place. There wisdom, blessing, creative ability, peace and joy arise quite regardless of physical and mental crucifixion, torture and mutilation. Before this divine flood of rays in his psyche, speech and way of being, the domain of night must yield.
