An Eternal Perspective

1“Then will matter be destroyed, or not?”

2The Savior said, “Every nature, every form, and every creature exists in and with every other, but they will dissolve again into their own roots, because the nature of matter dissolves into its own nature alone. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!”

3Peter said to him, “Since you have explained everything to us, tell us one more thing: What is the sin of the world?”

4The Savior said, “Sin does not exist, but you are the ones who make sin when you act according to the nature of adultery, which is called ‘sin.’ That is why the Good came among you, up to the things of every nature, in order to restore it within its root.”

5Then he continued, “That is why you become sick and die, because you love what deceives you. Anyone who can understand should understand!

6“Matter gave birth to a passion that has no image, because it comes from what is contrary to nature. Then confusion arises throughout the whole body. That is why I told you to be content at heart. If you are discontented, find contentment in the presence of the various images of nature. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!”
