“What Is The Secret Key To Eternal Life?” copyright 2008 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy” The Seventh poem of the Master’s Series

On this day,

the Master revealed

His greatest gift to mankind.

This gift was rendered on a mountain of stone,

reflected on a setting sun,

to a multitude of many,

in one of the many lessons,

given to multitudes in those years. 

The question,

that came toward the end of that day

was, “ Master, what is the greatest gift,

that God gives to all of us?”  asked the young

man in the multitude of that day.

The Master replied,

“The greatest gift that my Father gives to all,

is the secret of Forgiveness.

In rendering forgiveness to ones self,

and also forgiveness of others,

does a sinner reveal,

the keys to heaven,

and the eternal Love of our Father.

Forgiveness assures the eternal love of the Father,

and being in the arms of His Love forever.”

so said the Master of my life,

on this day.

“The Master Speaks of God’s Love” copyright 2008 John J. Rigo upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

The night sky was a deep black with blazing stars over the Master and His disciples, this particular night along the sea of Galilee.

It was a time of quiet contemplation of the beauty of God’s work.

Within the group of His disciples, one disciple had a troubling question.

With reverence he approached the Master with his question.

“Does God’s Love for us have bounds when remembering our sins in His Eternal Memory?” asked the disciple quietly, as to not disturb the other men in the group.

The Master lifted His Head toward the night sky and pointed His finger to a bright star saying, “As you look upon the stars in the night sky, many have long changed in form, and are no more. 

The distance is so great in the travel of that light,

that we still see those suns prior to their changing of form. 

So in the breath of God’s Love for us,

it is also beyond the width, depth and height of such distances from us.

Since His Love for us is unconditional, so is His memory of our sins.

In asking His forgiveness of our sins, their memory no longer exists in eternity.”

So spoke that night,

the Master of My Life.

“The Last Judgement Bench” copyright 2008 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy” (This is Book Six of the Master’s Series)

It was a long day of preaching and answering many questions by the Master.

Toward the end of the day an ancient elder of the nearby village asked the

Master the following question.

” Master,”  he shouted above the multitude,

“Tell us of the Last Judgement.”

The Master replied,

” The Judgement Bench sits before the Gates of Heaven.

On this day Trillions of souls will stand before this bench.

The total of all the eternal souls that have been born and died in eternity.

The scales of judgement will be in the total hearts of all.

Each soul will stand before all in total recall of all the details,

of their lives on the physical earth.

No trespass will be hidden,

no hurt upon others forgotten,

but revealed to all,

to see, to feel within,

their own individual spirits.

The sincerity of one giving up themselves

to Jesus will also lay in the balance of judgement.

To those, that the scales of justice weigh

heavily against them,

the gates of hell will swallow them

for their last time to an eternity of suffering,

without the light of God before them.

To those, who died with repent on their lips,

to those who gave their lives to Christ in their lives,

with deeds of love and goodness,

to these,

the Gates will then open,

to an eternity of peace and joy.

So, it will be on that day,

that all will stand

before the Judgement Bench,”

so said the Master of my life,

on this day.
