Fortunately, we do have June 19th – a specific date when the Lord sent
out His disciples. Imagine the joy in the heavens as new truths were revealed
to all those affirmative minds open to hearing more from the Lord about
His nature, providence, and a host of other truths that would enhance their
understandings and enable them to be more useful to their neighbors.
Even if our church celebrations may not occur on the exact date of June
th
19 , due to when it falls during the week, we can always take time on that day
to reflect upon what the Lord has given us in establishing His New Church:
• How we have been enriched with a world view that now encompasses
the Lord’s love being showered over the entire human race throughout
the universe.
• How the purpose of creation has been disclosed that we might know His
wise and gentle leading for everyone, including ourselves.
• How we have been given the tools to make spiritual progress, to become
ever more useful people in this world, and angels in the next.
As we commemorate and celebrate this birthday of the New Church, let
us rejoice in it being a birth or renewal within us of all that the Lord hopes to
achieve.
