‘You are Gods’

'Jesus was the most revolutionary of God's messengers. He was the first to defy all the ancient customs and his audacity in claiming that he was the son of God and that all human beings are equally sons and daughters of God was expiated on the cross. The insistence with which Jesus accentuated man's divine filiation offended and irritated the scribes and Pharisees to the point that they attempted one day to stone him.
But Jesus said to them: ''I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?''The Jews answered, ''It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God.'' And then Jesus reminded them of the verse in the Psalms: Is it not written in your law, ''I said, You are gods''?' Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
