I AM HERE. John, the Apostle.

You called for a spirit of love, and I came because I am such a spirit. I am the disciple whom Jesus loved and who loved him more than did any of the others.

(Have you obtained as much of the Father’s Love as Jesus now possesses?)

No, and neither has any spirit in all God’s Universe. He, Jesus, is the one who loves the Father to a greater degree and has the Father’s Love above all others.

(Jesus has come and has written to me as well.)

Yes, I know that he comes to you and tells you the Truths of God, and of his love for you and for all mankind.

I feel that he is anxious to have you receive these Truths and make them known to mankind. And you will have the power to do so, for he is determined that you shall be his disciple, as I was when on earth. And I want to tell you that he loves you very much and is attracted to you beyond his attraction to any other mortal at this time.

You will have a wonderful opportunity to get close to him and to receive the influence of his presence as well as of his love. So, do not fail to do everything in your power to accomplish the task that you have undertaken.

(What are the greatest Truths of the Bible?)

THE FIRST GREAT TRUTH IS: GOD IS LOVE; AND THE SECOND IS: YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. THESE ARE THE TWO GREATEST TRUTHS OF THE BIBLE. I CONSIDER THEM GREATER THAN THE COMMANDMENTS TO LOVE GOD AND TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.

(Are you the same St. John of the Bible?)

Yes, I am St. John of the Bible.

(Where do you now live?)

I live in a Celestial Sphere which is far above the Seventh Spiritual Sphere. I am with a number of disciples and others who have an abundance of God’s Love in their hearts. My sphere is not numbered, and it needs no number, for it is near the highest. The Master is higher than anyone else in his home.

(Do you live on some kind of great island?)

I do not live on an island, as you say, but my home is in a great city where the redeemed of God live. And I am the leader of this city in the teachings of God’s Love and the city’s government. I am working for the good of all its inhabitants, as well as for spirits in a lower plane, and sometimes for mortals.

I will come to you again sometime and write to you some of the Truths in my city.

(In your gospel, what exactly did you mean by, “In the beginning was the Word...”?)

Well, I will explain my meaning when I come again, but will say now that the “Word” which created the universe was not Jesus but God, and He, Alone. This gives you an idea of what I meant.

Well, to conclude for now, I will say that you are very near the Master, and he loves you and I love you also.

So, my young brother, I will say good night.

JOHN.
