Chapter 106:
What Mattereth It How I Come?
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. BELOVED, be fair! The world awaited its savior indeed, but it knoweth not how it awaiteth him.
2. Some say, the Master is among us; some say, He cometh on the morrow, mayhap in the night; others declare, He cometh on clouds of exceeding great radiance to judge us of our sins and rebuke the ungodly.
3. I say unto these, what mattereth it how I come? Is it not sufficient that I come? Is it not a plenty of revelation unto you that the moment arriveth when the Son of Man is among you indeed?
4. Have I not said of old, Watch! And why should ye watch?
5. Is it meat and drink unto me that I should make the descent into flesh? Is it fine linen that I desire, that I may clothe myself to sit among you? .
6. Nay, nay, beloved.
7. I come that I may find you waiting, but in your waiting, prepared for my presence.
8. And how think you that preparation cometh, that watching is of moment?
9. Behold I tell you, your sins shall find you out, sins of omission as well as commission, errors of neglect and unpardonings of slothfulness.
10. Some shall be found sitting upon high mountains saying, There are the valleys, they are full of strife and tumult;
11. Some shall sit in the mean places and have much treasure which they handle gleefully;
12. Some will be found beating on a drum; they will cry with their voices, Draw nigh unto us, for we are the anointed who do His pleasure and would tell you of His advent.
13. Some will be found in the quiet vales and the hidden alleys: they will be making error straight, they will be giving of their substance seventy times seven that the kingdom have its heralding, they will be rising up at morn and giving no hostages to Mammon, they will see their duty that it lieth in the silent pasture; others will be found in the sunheat of the highroad, their weapons shall proclaim them, with which they fight for Justice.
14. But coming, I come. I come unto them and say unto each, It pleaseth me that ye have prepared yourselves, but the evil man is he who maketh a loud clamor and doth not my works; the righteous man is he who perceiveth his talent and giveth it exercise, yea even though it slay him.
15. Unto each is given a bowl and a vessel, each hath his raiment to cover his nakedness, each hath his fig tree to give substance to his biceps;
16. Behold there are those who take no thought of the radiance showered upon them; they greet me not if I come unserving them; they say,
17. We have toiled and we have spun, we have gathered into barns, behold we have our increase, and is it goodly that it be taken from us? We bow down before him who saith unto us, That which thou hast shall be preserved unto thy pleasure, the robbers who rob thee are mine enemies, I will go forth and slay them that thy treasure shall not mock thee.
18. I tell you, beloved, the godlike of the earth have small need of that treasure which is gathered into barns: they are as the beasts of the field, verily they are as the fowls of God's air;
19. They come and go circumspectly, calling upon no man to witness that their substance is plentiful.
20. The fowls of the air have homes, verily the beasts of the field have folds, but those who do watch for me in spirit and in truth are unmindful of comforts that ease not the spirit.
21. What of the wandering? where shall they be found? is it meet that three sit at viands while a fourth hath his hunger?
22. Behold the earth is full of hunger and man casteth it not out; he doth no goodly thing that his brethren may prosper; he saith unto his brother: Behold my safety is my shibboleth of action; I do that which preserveth mine increase, lo, though lechery rue it, lo, though the fowls of the air fall famished upon my doorstep.
23. Give of your increase, ye who are righteous: stand in a godly place and proclaim my salvation, not with the drum nor yet with the drumstick, but with the still, small voice of service that seeketh out the wayward, that lifteth the baton of sanctified heraldry, that openeth a door into gardens of solace that he who hath lost it may find therein his treasure.
