The central work the Father sent the historical Jesus to do on earth was to reveal, teach, live and fulfill the Paschal Mystery. The bible declares that through faith, humility and obedience, the historical Jesus increased in wisdom, and in years, and in divine and human favor (Luke 2:52). In the power of the Holy Spirit, the historical Jesus passed over from ordinary human life on earth, through his passion, death and resurrection, and ascension, into a new and glorified life with the Father, through the indwelling and fully incarnate incarnate of Faith (John 1:1-5) .
Like the historical Jesus, Christ-centered, spiritually awake believers progressively grow, and evolve, as faithful servants of the universal, indwelling and incarnate Christ of Faith and stewards of God's mysteries. These spiritually awake, Christ-centered believers gradually mature into trustworthy stewards of God's mysteries, within their unique religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups. Through faith, humility, obedience and following the historical Jesus in living the Paschal Mystery, these spiritually resurrected believers pass over from slavery to sin, into the freedom of God's love, through the universal indwelling Christ of Faith (Genesis 1:26-27, Colossians 1:26-27).

In the context of the Gospel of Christ, as revealed in the life, teachings and ministry of the historical Jesus, these Christ-centered believers are now found in all the world religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups (John 3:16-21). Because they believe in and steadfastly follow the historical Jesus, they are now born from above. With God's help, they now faithfully follow the historical Jesus, as God's appointed and anointed stewards, in living the metaphysical and mystical (inner spiritual meaning) of the Paschal Mystery (Matthew 16:21-28).
Through steadfast, Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-based prayer, listening, learning, studying, worship, service and fellowship, these spiritually awake believers are now the trustworthy and mature servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries, here on earth. In all religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups, they do seek and serve the Christ of Faith in all persons. With God's help they now love their neighbor as they love themselves.
Have you chosen to be a trustworthy, Christ-centered, spiritually awake servant of Christ and faithful steward of God's mysteries, within your unique, religion, culture, ethnic and secular group? Have you chosen to follow the historical Jesus as a spiritually awake, trustworthy servant of Christ and a faithful steward of God's mysteries, in living the Paschal Mystery, within your witnessing community? Are you willing to give up erroneous, worldly, carnal and mortal minded judgments, which down through the ages and generations, have created the unnecessary divisions, strife and conflicts, which have existed within your religion, culture, ethnic and secular group?
