Rise, Take Up Your Bed and Walk
Worship Service: Children & Adult - February 21, 2010
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.

A New Commandment
Worship Service: Children & Adult - February 14, 2010
Today's Quote: Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning . . . male and female . . . , said, "For this reason a man shall leave father and mother and cling to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh"? Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. (Matthew 19:4-6) Married love is from the Lord, and it corresponds to the marriage of the Lord and the church. It descends from the marriage of between good and truth. It is the fundamental love and the head of all celestial and spiritual loves. (Conjugial Love #143) True married love is a chaste love, and has nothing in common with unchaste love. It is with one and only one of the opposite sex, with all others set aside, for it is a love of the spirit and consequently of the body, and not a love of the body and consequently of the spirit, that is, it is not a love that infests the spirit.
