Now here was another one that came this week. Both came yesterday. He said, I woke and the words were so clear. Here a voice is dictating to me. And the voice said, a prophet sees, an apostle is sent, an apostle experiences. An apostle sees, prophesies, and experiences. Then the voice says, the key is the words will and sent. And then came the boy quoting: “I came, he who sent me. I and he are one.” How altogether wonderful: the prophet sees, the apostle experiences, the apostle is sent — the very word means to be sent, but the sender and the sent are one. He and I are one. So when he sent into the world, and he knows he sent, he stood in the presence of his own being, but it seemed objective to himself. It was all love. Love embraced him, and love sends him. But although in the world he is so restricted, while he tells the story and makes the confession, “I and my Father are one, but my Father is greater than I,” he is only telling us that the office of the sent is less than the office of the sender. Yet he is the sender. Therefore, as his essential being, he is not less than. Only the office of the sent is less. So in the world, he is still restricted. This is the world of death, where everything dies here.1076 ¶27
