</aside>

And Jesus and the twelve went to the mountain top, and Jesus said:
Twelve pillars of the church, apostles of the Christ; light-bearers of the sun of life and ministers of God to men:
In just a little while ⏰ you must go forth alone, and preach the gospel of the king, first to the Jews and then to the world. 🌍
And you shall go, not with a scourge of cords to drive; you cannot drive men to the king;
But you shall go in love and helpfulness 🤲 and lead the way to right 🛡️ and light 🔦.
Go forth and say: The kingdom is at hand.
Worthy are the strong in spirit; theirs the kingdom is.
Worthy are the meek; they shall possess the land.
Worthy are they who hunger and thirst for right; they shall be satisfied.
Worthy are the merciful; and mercy shall be shown to them.
Worthy are they who gain the mastery of self; they have the key of power.
Worthy are the pure in heart; and they shall see the king.
Worthy they are maligned and wronged because they do the right; their persecutors they shall bless.
Worthy is the trustful child of faith; he shall sit in the throne of power.
Be not discouraged when the world shall persecute and call you curst; but rather be exceeding glad.
The prophets and seers, and all the good of earth, have been maligned.
If you are worthy of the crown of life you will be slandered, vilified, and curst on earth.
Rejoice when evil men shall drive you from their ways and cause your name to be hiss and by-word in the street.
