Here is scripture… fulfilling scripture in the unfolding soul. I say to him, he hasn’t far to go. It always strikes me in a very strange way that everyone across this country as I go they’re always quoting the words of Paul. When the song begins to unfold, there are only two more verses left and the next really links it with the last. The next verse, “Now we see through a glass darkly”—-or as one translation has it, “We see in a mirror dimly”—-“but then face to face.” That’s the 12th verse and then we come into the 13th. I know from experience when you stand face to face with the risen Christ you pronounce the last verse, and it is: “Faith, hope and love, these three abide; but the greatest of these is love.” So the next vision comes when you are brought into the presence of the risen Christ (a man); and when you answer by quoting the last verse of 13th Corinthians, he embraces you. As he embraces you, you are fused with the body of Christ. You’re incorporated into the body of Christ. You’re one with the body of Christ, and one with the Spirit of Christ. Then you’re sent into this world to tell the story of the risen Christ. So here, this chap, by daring to assume “I am Christ”…and he found that the position in the moving drama where he is in the unfolding soul. What you are in the world of Caesar doesn’t really matter. He may be tonight completely unknown even in his neighborhood. He may have no security in the world of Caesar. He may be almost tongue-tied among people, that’s entirely up to him, or others, doesn’t really matter. But in the world of God, the unfolding soul, here he stands at the end of this wonderful drama as recorded in Corinthians. He’s on the verge. He’s only a verse away from it, because the 12th and the 13th they come together: “Now I see in a mirror dimly; but then face to face” and that comes right…face to face comes with the answer, which is “The greatest of these is love” as though you were prompted what to say when you’re asked “What is the greatest thing in the world?”860 ¶12
