CHAPTER FOURTEEN
The sermon continues… surprisingly, the Son takes a seated position amongst the crowd. Without word or command, the sons and daughters of men bows before the King, for a moment unknown to others, the Holy Spirit senses the Father’s joy. With this, the Word continues: “If you men, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much the more will your Heavenly Father give you the Holy Spirit if you ask Him. For I will not leave anyone comfortless or in distress. For there was a man bound to go on a long journey. Along the way, waves beat against the ship, tossing it to and fro.

As some of you would say: “Shall I steer north, east, south or west.” But this man was wise and steered towards the brightness of the Son; and see, this man reached his destination. For others, you are already shipwrecked. Floating about, hoping that by some miracle God will save you from your distress. Look at the mighty winds of the sea, do not even they drive a strong mast to its destination, but I say unto you, a ship off course by a few meters will surely not reach its destination. You are the seed of your father Abraham. You should know, little ones, that as he was to offer his son's life, the Father sent Word and he was delivered. For Abraham was faithful in so doing and I have promised to make his lineage a formidable and mighty people.” The Son scratches in the sand next to Him. Slowly He starts to drop
one grain of sand at a time. Almost as if He is counting them. In remembrance of His Covenant and Word, He then looks up to the Father. The Father just slowly nods His head in approval.
For a moment He looks over the crowd with compassion in His eyes. Jesus takes a heap of sand in his left hand and a heap in his right. With immense care and precision, he walks over to the Father so as to not drop but a single grain of sand. The Son then holds the grains of sand before the Father, The Father gently breathes over the hand full of dirt. In a sudden moment and with astronomical power, a shock wave travels through the open spaces, in the hands of the Lord there is now a translucent light shining. Walks over to the crowd

present it and cries out with untold compassion: “Look and observe, for each of you are as one of these grains of sand, not one to go to waste. I will not spare the least, but I will pray for the Father and He will send you another Comforter, He will never leave nor forsake you, He will guide you in the way you should go.”
This time the Word stands planted in the center of the crowd. His face pointing north, He slowly lets the grains of sand flow from His hands. For a moment, the eyes of the gathering open. And what they see in front of them, is being unveiled to be an olive tree. Not only is this an olive tree, but it carries nine fruits on seven stems. The next moment the olive tree starts to shine with unspeakable glory ... in
one spirit the crowd, including the stars, start Singing shine, Jesus shine.
