Christus und Nicodemus Fritz
Von Uhde (Private Collection)
The time machine is in
operation again. Jesus is a young
student at a university. His lecturer
becomes aware that Jesus is more than an exceptional student. There is something unique about him, and Dr
Popolo is intrigued. Late at night, he
ventures to contact Jesus. Here is a
record.
[Dr Victor
Popolo's email correspondence* with Jesus Bar Joseph]
>>Dr Popolo: Hi Jesus - I
admire your work. You clearly have
spiritual authority. Just want to say I
like what you are doing. Vic (23:59)

>>Jesus Bar Joseph: Dear
Victor - The key thing is that you start again from scratch if you want to
really know what life is about. JBJ (00:00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>Dr Popolo: Hi Jesus - Cryptic- I'm 53, and I've been at
this game for 30 years. Start
again? Bit late for that. Vic (00:05)

>>Jesus Bar Joseph: Dear Victor - I'm only saying this because I
know you know what I mean. To know the
Creator, it's a new life in the Spirit.
Not physical. It's like
experiencing the wind whistling round you.
You've invested greatly in
things that are not nearly close to illuminating the Spirit. Something big will be needed to change this
situation. You remember when Moses
protected the people in the wilderness?
It's going to need to be like that.
This time it will be for real.
The Creator has not forgotten
you people. He has come to sort things
out, to get things straight. He has come as a person. This person will be falsely accused, and
condemned to death. The Creator
understands. His intention is mercy, not retribution. And everyone who sees through the Spirit, not
through intellect, will understand and receive new life. Here's the paradox. He comes with light. But many will not even
detect it. The light is the truth, and
all who see it will see their Creator, and will become family. They will qualify. JBJ
*Victor Popolo is Nike (victory) Demos (people) or Nicodemus,
who visited Jesus at night.
A university Professor realises he does not know it all,
and there are gaps he needs to fill
Nicodemus certainly did not need Jesus. He was a successful and well respected
man. Jesus said ‘it is the sick who need
a doctor’. Those around Nicodemus would say
he was the last person to need help. But
Nicodemus had some insight that made him great.
He was able to see what he lacked, and see through poverty, lack of
education, class and religion. He saw
that Jesus was important, and he was attracted to him.
Am I able to spot what is from the creator, and what is
not? Do I have this ‘sixth sense’? Have I got my eyes open? Am I able to see
through cultural barriers?
PRAYER –
Let’s ask that we will see clearly what is from our Creator, and what is not.
