[tmtranscripts] Easter Message from Abraham and Michael

[David Schlundt]

04/20/2003

Abraham:  Hello my friends and charges. I am
Abraham. The occasion of your earthly
remembrance of our Michael’s resurrection is a
joyful and wonderful event. Still, all of our
earthly children are not told of this wonderful
event when the Master demonstrated eternal
life, when he walked through the door and
beckoned for others to follow. We who watched
his miraculous life were constantly astounded by
the brilliance of his truth, the purity of his
goodness, and the totality of his beauty.

His life should be celebrated in your hearts
every day. You are blessed to be born into his
spirit of truth. You are incredibly fortunate to
have his personal spirit as counsel and guide
and you are further blessed to have the most
complete record of his life available in your
Urantia Book.

This day marks the culmination of his life, his
mission on earth. And with all your blessings,
with all your wondrous advanced understanding
of his life and work, still you are tempted to feel
yourselves unworthy and to hold back from fully
grasping his saving spirit. This life is short and
with every moment you have, you must
endeavor to completely lay hold of his spirit.

Each of you is blessed with modern comforts
and wealth and ease. You have what men of my
age would have never been able to withstand.
Civilization can be destructive in terms of
softening of the morals. This was not a luxury
for me and so perhaps I grow impatient when I
see you having so much and being so
unappreciative. You have what men of all time
have searched for. You have the Master’s spirit
with you, and yet how little do you turn to him.

I am here to exhort you, grasp the Master’s
hand, walk strongly with his strength, cast
aside the weaknesses, the ambiguities, the
moral uncertainty, and be sure. Let his spirit
make you sure of yourselves. Let his spirit
replace what is lacking. If you feel uncertain, if
you feel afraid, I tell you you must turn to him. I
tell you you must. There is no other way.

The Master lived a gentle, graceful, but certain
life. He never doubted the Father’s loving
protection. He never worried about "what if".
No, our Master took each day as it came and
worked within it with absolute faith. And that,
my children, is something you must learn by
doing.

Michael comes.

Michael: Beloved friends, there is no yesterday,
nor any tomorrow, but you are with me now.
Truly do I see completely your souls and truly
do I pronounce each one pure. The past is
cleansed from your souls and today begins a
new life with me. All your paths are leading to
me. Now all your paths are walked with me. The
way to my Father’s house will be traversed in
gentle harmony by grace and in concert with my
love.

Once I said follow me. Now I say we shall walk
together. My hand is strong. Once you grasp
me, I will never let you go. Cling to my spirit and
I will take you through every storm – heart to
heart, mind to mind, soul to soul. Rest in me
and I will give you relief from the burdens of
time. Rest in me and I will wipe away your tears
and renew your souls in gladness and you will
know true joy. Welcome me as you are
welcomed in my Father’s home where all are
renewed, were all is made new. Rejoice with me
for the old is passing away and the new birth of
the spirit dawns.

My Father’s blessings are upon you.
