This Day Of Resurrection
Martin
Cecil April 15, 1979
I
greet you as angels on this beautiful, fresh morning before the rising of the
sun. Easter morning at this time represents to us the resurrection of the
world. This is the day, this is the cycle, of that resurrection. Out of the
night of human nature comes the day of man restored. What shall that be? Eye
certainly hath not seen. No one on the face of the earth knows; no, not the
angels of heaven, but the Father only.
Here
is the proclamation made this day by His angels on earth
Standing
together here as angels, O Lord, in the fresh dawn of a new day, we are
thankful for the opportunity of confirming this proclamation, knowing our
responsibility, and that of all Thine angels in expression on earth, to let it
be so. We rejoice together in the wonder of Thy presence known in this hour, in
the wonder of the presence of all the hosts of heaven who stand with Thine
angels incarnate on earth to glorify Thee, to let Thy will be done, as all
things are caused to work together to perfection. It is our delight to share
these moments, not so much in memory of the past or even in expectations of the
future but in the joy of this present eternal moment. We are here on earth to
let Thy will be done, that in Thy power the fulfilment of Thy creative works
may be brought to pass, the fulfilment toward which the prophets and men of God
over the ages have looked. We are deeply honored and privileged to play our
part on earth at this time.
O
Lord, in the oneness of Thy spirit we stand together with all Thine angels
everywhere on the face of the earth, in this moment and in each moment to come,
as the fulfilment of Thy creative plan for the world is brought to pass. Glory
to Thee in the highest now and forever. Aum-en.
We
stand here with our feet firmly planted upon the earth, our heads enfolded in
the air of the spirit, knowing the wonder of heaven on earth because we live.
Let us let this wonder be ever present in our experience as we move together in
this day and in all the days to come. Let us never allow our angelic
responsibility to slip even for a moment from our fingers, but let us let the
rod of truth be held firmly, that the expression of our living may always be
true to that, the glory of Thy spirit made known on earth in creative action.
How blessed we are to be here, to know why we are here, to accept the
commission that we know, to reveal the fact of it in our living constantly and
consistently. How beautiful is this day!
Here
indeed is a symbol of the clarity which is offered by the children of God, in
the name of the Lord, here on earth. It is many years since we have had an
Easter sunrise service in the open air on Sunrise Ranch. This is the first
occasion since the Dome Chapel has been built. This is the first occasion in
this particular grouping of people, of angels. This is the first occasion in
this particular positioning here beside the Little Chapel. All things are made
new. The day itself is new. Who could anticipate a more perfect setting on this
Easter morning? It is a little cool. What's wrong with that? We have in the
past known it a lot cooler. Is the sky blue above us? What's wrong with that?
Here is symbolized the enfoldment of the truth. The sun rises in the east
because the face of the earth turns toward it, so that this valley in season
may be filled with the golden glow of sunlight, the symbol of God's love. We
are all here present together, giving evidence of life, the life which
glorifies God on earth.
In
this moment the sun itself comes over the horizon, and we rejoice in the beauty
and the wonder of the spirit of the living God made manifest, made known,
because we live. Peace be unto you in this hour, that the peace of God may be
made known on earth, to His glory forever.
