Jesus on Personal Religion Over Group Religion
Excerpt: Chapter 24, Four Eventful Days in Capernaum
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
At this point in his mission, Jesus had more followers in Capernaum than any other city on earth. Jesus followed Jewish custom and read the first text from the law. From the book of Exodus, he read, Jesus chose his second text from the prophets and from Isaiah, read, Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has arisen on you. Darkness may cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but the Spirit of the Lord will arise on you, and the divine glory will be seen with you. Even the Gentiles will come to this light, and many distinguished minds will surrender to the brightness of this light. In his sermon, Jesus tried to emphasize that religion is a personal experience between a son or daughter and their father. It is not a group event.
