The meal was simple

one of bread, fruits, and vegetables from the field.

The conversation was good-natured

and spirited among the men.

 

He sat among them quietly

with a smile of love upon His gentle face.

These men had been with Him for many months.

They were closer than His brothers of birth.

 

He called to the server for a bowl of water

and a simple cloth to wash His hands.

They stopped speaking and turned to Him.

They knew the time to listen had come.

 

With courage the one closest to Him asked,

“Master, how am I to know the face of evil?”

“The Serpent takes many forms,” said the Master.

 

He placed His hands together

each fingertip touching the other

forming a circle.

 

“Within this circle appears air

and nothing to fear

but I say unto you

the Serpent can take any shape or form

seeminly without consequences of punishment or terror,”

said the Master.

 

“At the beginning of eternity

when my Father make your souls

an awareness of knowing evil.

He rendered to your souls an eternal power against evil.

 

When my inner voice speaks to you

know then

my brothers

evil is next to you.”

 

The Masters‘ eyes lifted upward

and cautioned,

“Only by crying out your God‘s name

will you be protected from Evil.”

 

Then He lowered His head sadly lamenting,

“To ignore this warning will place you in the hold

of the serpent

and you may become forever lost.

 

So I say to you

your heavenly Master and Father

I love you beyond the value or joys of this world.

 

Keep your faith

and ye shall be with us

in love and light in eternity.”

so He spoke to me,

the Master of my life.
