So for Christians, Jesus Christ has two stations: the human, "Jesus", the individual walking the rocky roads of Palestine over two thousand years ago, and the divine, "Christ", the spiritual mirror perfectly reflecting the attributes of God, the message of God: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light, and no one cometh unto the Father except by Me." [Yes, I did mix up the quotation in the last blog entry: this is why it is usually wiser not to proceed from memory.]
So: is it inconceivable that the Holy Spirit should ever again be reflected in another perfect mirror? To people attached to the human, "Jesus," it is.
When Christ said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light," who among us asks, "who is the 'I' that is speaking? Is it really Jesus, the man? The Aramaic-speaking, dusty traveler?" After all, Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice, His life, that the message of Christ could illuminate the world with God's Holy light.
Who is the speaker? Jesus or Christ? The human individual, or the Divine Messenger?
Christ Himself tells us that the Holy Spirit could again be reflected in another perfect mirror. "I go, and another will come."
Baha'u'llah says that another will come. And another and another and another. And praise God for that.
