If every person reaps what he sows, why did Jesus suffer?

We said that the Laws of Nature maintain the whole of Creation and do not permit of any injustice or exceptions. Each person can only reap the fruit of what he has originally sown and he is placed into those circumstances which ensure that he will only reap just that.

So why did God allow Jesus Christ to die a shameful death on the Cross? Is this not an injustice, since it is unthinkable that Jesus could have committed any kind of transgression to have incurred such a punishment?

The answer to this question also lies in the Law of Karma, i.e. it was a result of karma that the Lord suffered at the hands of men, but it was a different kind of karma – this kind of karma is mission karma!

Think for instance of the events of 11 September 2001, where many fire-fighters voluntarily went into the ruins of the fallen towers searching for victims at the cost of their own lives. These persons worked bravely despite the risks involved.

What do these people and the Lord Jesus have in common? It lies in a single word: love!

Out of this love, which is ready to give up anything, including one’s personal life for another’s sake, a seed is already sown in Creation. This is in accordance with the Law of Karma. If this seed is sown in dangerous circumstances as was the case with the fire-fighters, then there will be a dangerous outcome. The person who undertakes a rescue mission has to accept this possibility before proceeding in every case!

Two thousand years ago, this entire world was an absolute mess. Kingdoms arose to conquer one another, false gods and demons were worshipped and ritualistic sacrifices of all kinds were widespread. Only among the few Jews did the recognition of the True God lie.

But they were still far from God Himself, they did not understand His Will and for centuries they vacillated in their striving towards His Kingdom. False practices had also crept into their way of life e.g. the sacrifice of animals and so on. Even among the religious dignitaries, there was deception and hypocrisy and no real striving for the Truth.

Were things to continue as they had in former times, not a single race would eventually exist that lived within the Laws of God. Darkness would cover the entire earth, and through the Law of Karma, all of mankind would slowly perish, unable to find their way to the Light!

God’s Love, forever watchful, beheld this sight from the High Throne. On the earth, there were still a few human spirits who were longing for the Truth, even though they had not yet found It. For their sakes alone, God’s Love came down to the earth in order to bring to them, these few good men, the Holy Word of Salvation. As Jesus, the Love of God incarnated in that race which stood closest to the recognition of God – the Jewish race. This, too, is in accordance with the Law of Attraction of Homogeneous Species. Jesus could not have incarnated anywhere else but in that race whose recognition came closest to the Truth.

But God’s Love recognised well before that in order to save just these few good men, It would have to experience all the Darkness that they had brought into being. God’s Love saw that in order to rescue these people, It would have to accept the possibility of being hated and scorned, even murdered, although this Pure Love of God did not deserve such scorn.

The seed of Love was thus sown in the Darkness. The Reciprocal Action of this seed of Love sown in Darkness can only bring forth suffering for the Envoy of God, because only in that way can the Word be given to man. Man had strayed so far away from God that he could not accept the Word from Above as in former times with Abraham, Lao-Tse, Buddha etc. In order that man should receive the Holy Word, a Part of God had to personally incarnate among men. This was the greatest rescue mission ever in history!

With this mission comes a certain amount of mission karma. Through accepting the sacrifice of death, Jesus was able to show to all men that He stood completely within the Truth, that He was not afraid even of death to prove to all men the Truth of His Word that He brought. And with His Blood shed on the Cross, He sealed His Conviction for all eternity!

But Jesus need not have suffered if not for the free will of man. For it was not willed that He should suffer. It was the result of our own free will, which Jesus Himself accepted, that He was murdered. Simply put – we murdered Him!

God wills no suffering for anyone, not even for His own Envoy. Yet out of His Purest Love, His Son would not hesitate to accept suffering, even if it meant that only one sinner could be saved. That is truly an infinite Love!

In it lies infinite Justice. Those who scorned of all men, the Envoy of God, have had to face the consequences of their wrong deeds in all their subsequent earth-lives and in their times in the Ethereal World of the beyond. Among these people have been individuals marked with the stigmata of Jesus’ Crucifixion.

Jesus’ suffering was the automatic reciprocal action of wishing in purest sacrificial love to bring help to a failing humanity, even at the cost of an earth-life. Therefore, in no way does it go against the Laws. It is only man who goes against the Laws and inflicts such harm on all the helpers that God sent to the earth.

This is why Jesus was permitted to suffer so terribly on the Cross. Through His Death and His subsequent Resurrection, Jesus’ Disciples gained a true conviction of His Word. The Power of the Holy Spirit descended upon them as a result of this newfound conviction and they could go forth into the world and preach a Gospel that forever changed world history.

Through this selfless Sacrifice of God, mankind was saved from a course that would otherwise only have led them into absolute perdition.
