Parable of the Young Lad

The spiritual messengers of God spoke December 8, 1978: "Glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.
We should say unto thee this parable, the parable of the young lad who could not decide, as he grew up, that which he wished to become.
His father was a shepherd; his one uncle was a merchant; another was a fisherman; another farmed the land, and did bring forth, through all these things, an abundance back into the family. But as he looked, one into the other, he could not make up his mind. And therefore, unlike his brothers, he went from uncle to uncle, working in each place for a while and then leaving.
His father's brothers did meet to discuss this one, for all their other children had all followed in the family line of work. And each had found their niche in life. And each asked the other, "What should be done?"
It was finally decided that they should take this one before the priesthood, for he was now reaching the age of manhood, for his 13th birthday was before him. All the brothers left their work, and all their children left their work, and all went unto their temple of worship, and said unto the priest therein, "We seek your advice for this one."
And the priest said unto them, "This is a decision that I must take up with wiser men than I. I go, therefore, into the Holy Land, where wise men shall gather. Let me take the lad with me." And so, they did venture forth.
As they crossed the great deserts and neared the town of Bethlehem, each night they saw this beautiful star, this beautiful light from the heavens.
And the lad kept asking the priest, "What was this light? What was this beautiful light from the heavens? What made it so?"
The priest knew some of astronomy and astrology, but he could not account for this.
And they did meet in their travel the three Magi. And the Magi told of their journey to that that would be the birthplace of a new Messiah.
When they did reach Bethlehem, and all came forth unto the Christ child to bring forth their gifts, the young lad stayed back. He looked through all of his possessions, and they were few.
And then he heard the angel[s] say unto him, "Take forth the gift of thyself."
And so the lad brought himself up from his knees, leaving all his worldly possessions behind, and went forth. And among all the glittering gifts that were to be given, there, in the manger, he did lay himself and say, "I shall be thy slave."
Both Joseph and Mary looked upon the lad. What need would they have for a slave? But it was a gift given.
And the priest had his answer to take back to the father, and the uncles, and all the kin therein.
But as the lad gave unto himself, the Lord, God, gave unto the lad and said unto him, "BE THAT OF A PROTECTOR FOR MY SON. BE THAT OF A TEACHER. TEACH HIM TO FISH, TO FARM, TO RAISE OF THE BEAST[S]. TEACH HIM OF ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM ALL OF YOUR UNCLES AND YOUR FATHER. AND IN TIME HE SHALL TEACH YOU."
At first, those around had laughed at the young lad's gift. But they were to see that he had given the greatest gift of all, himself.
We say unto you, who are artists, we have painted a picture for you unlike any that exists, for we have reached back in time, that this may come forth into your time and shall go forward. Let it be a symbol for all those who wish to give. For you are here, as we, but for one purpose, the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. And as you prepare for your worship, as Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ child, let new birth come into you. Let it be born in you. And each day, as you rise, let it become a new day and a new world. And as you close your eyes at night, thank the Lord that He has placed you at this time where you are, in the time of the preparation of the coming of the Messiah.
Let that gift be given freely, as it was from the lad. And all in abundance shall come back unto you tenfold.....
Blessed be the children of the Lord. Blessed be unto the gift given, for they are the future. Guard unto this one well.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, God. Blessed be the Spirit. Blessed be the children and the spirit, and the temple of God.
In your Christmas services, let this story, this parable we have told you tonight, be told. And let preparation be made that all your people shall know -- and now -- that they may stand together in prayer and unity. Bind together. Make your prayers as one unto the Lord....
Let the Christmas spirit be not only the Christmas Spirit; let it reach unto all religions of all faiths. Let brotherhood bind unto you. For that which you celebrate is the love he left upon your Earth in birth and in death.
Amen, oh Lord, amen. [Kay-ah, kay-ah. Yay, kay-na so mora. Ay, ay.]"
