Worship Service: Children & Adult - February 28, 2010
The Lord heals all of our spiritual infirmities. With the most ancient people, who were celestial, a serpent meant being completely watchful, and so also meant their sensory perception by means of which they were to show vigilance to avoid being harmed by the evil. This is clear from the Lord's words to His disciples, Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) And also "the bronze serpent" which was raised up in the wilderness and which meant the Lord's Sensory Perception. He alone is Celestial Man, and He alone is completely watchful and provides for everybody. Whoever beheld it therefore was delivered. (Heavenly Secrets #197) The Lord's natural Divinity was symbolized by the bronze serpent that Moses was commanded to set up in the wilderness, so that all who had been bitten by serpents were healed by looking at it (Numbers 21:6, 8, 9). That this symbolized the Lord's natural Divinity, and that those people are saved who look to it, the Lord Himself teaches in John: As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:14, 15) The serpent was made of bronze because bronze, like fine brass, symbolizes the natural self in respect to good. (Apocalypse Revealed #49) | By Rev. Thomas H.

Living our lives according to our faith Readings John 5:8-14;Mark 2:4-12; Apocalypse Explained 163 Faith that is separate from charity can be likened to the paralysis of one side of the body, or hemiplegia. (True Christian Religion 367) In John: Jesus said to the sick man at pool of Bethsaida, "Rise, take up your bed and walk" And straightaway, the man was made whole, took up his bed and walked. Afterward, Jesus found him, and said to him, "Behold you are made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing befall you." (John 5:8-14) And, in Mark: They uncovered the roof where Jesus was, and they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. Jesus said,"Which is it easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise, and take up your bed and walk?' Then, He said, "Rise, take up your bed and walk and go to your house." And immediately he rose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all. (Mark 2:4-12) The Lord saying to these sick, "Rise, take up your bed and walk" signifies doctrine, and a life according to doctrine; "signifies doctrine, and "to walk" signifies life. "The sick man" signifies those who have transgressed and sinned; consequently the Lord said to the sick man at the pool of Bethsaida, "Behold you are made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing befall you" and to the paralytic let down on a bed through the roof, "Which is it easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you' or to say, 'Rise, and take up your bed and walk?' Those who know nothing of the internal sense of the Word may believe that the words that the Lord spoke involve nothing more than what is obvious in the sense of the letter, when yet every particular of what the Lord spoke has a spiritual meaning, for He spoke from the Divine and thus in the presence both of heaven and of the world.
