I

The Jewish Pharisees charged Jesus with not following the law of the Old Testament, and not being the Messiah; they nailed Him to the cross. Christ has come to release the truth, yet today man would rather expel Him from this world to enter heaven and gain grace. They'd rather completely deny the coming of the truth to safeguard the interests of the Bible, and they'd rather nail the Christ returned to flesh to the cross again to ensure the everlasting existence of the Bible. How can man receive My salvation when his heart is so malicious and his nature so antagonistic toward Me?

I live among man, yet man doesn't know My existence. When I shine My light upon man, he still remains ignorant of My existence. When I unleash My wrath upon man, he denies My existence even more. Man searches for compatibility with words and compatibility with the Bible, yet no one comes before Me to seek the way of compatibility with the truth. Man looks up to Me in heaven and devotes concern to My existence there, yet no one cares about Me in the flesh, for I who live among man am just too insignificant.

Those who only seek compatibility with the Bible's words and a vague God are a lowly sight to Me. That's because what they worship are dead words, and a God who can give them untold treasures, a non-existent God who is at man's mercy. What, then, can they gain from Me? Man is simply too lowly for words. Those who are against Me, who make endless demands of Me, and who have no love of the truth, who are rebellious toward Me—how can they be compatible with Me?
