"Open, my daughter, the eye of your intellect, and
you will see the accepted and the ignorant, the
imperfect, and also the perfect who follow Me in
truth, so that you may grieve over the damnation of
the ignorant, and rejoice over the perfection of My
beloved servants.
"You will see further how those bear themselves who
walk in the light, and those who walk in the
darkness. I also wish you to look at the Bridge of My
only-begotten Son, and see the greatness thereof, for
it reaches from Heaven to earth, that is, that the
earth of your humanity is joined to the greatness of
the Deity thereby. I say then that this Bridge
reaches from Heaven to earth, and constitutes the
union which I have made with man.
"This was necessary, in order to reform the road
which was broken, as I said to you, in order that man
should pass through the bitterness of the world, and
arrive at life; but the Bridge could not be made of
earth sufficiently large to span the flood and give
you Eternal Life, because the earth of human nature
was not sufficient to satisfy for guilt, to remove
the stain of Adam's sin. Which stain corrupted the
whole human race and gave out a stench, as I have
said to you above.
"It was, therefore, necessary to join human nature
with the height of My nature, the Eternal Deity, so
that it might be sufficient to satisfy for the whole
human race, so that human nature should sustain the
punishment, and that the Divine nature, united with
the human, should make acceptable the sacrifice of My
only Son, offered to Me to take death from you and to
give you life.
"So the height of the Divinity, humbled to the earth,
and joined with your humanity, made the Bridge and
reformed the road. Why was this done? In order that
man might come to his true happiness with the angels.
And observe, that it is not enough, in order that you
should have life, that My Son should have made you
this Bridge, unless you walk thereon."
