4/6

The Lord made the Natural Self in Himself

Divine, in order that He might be the First

and the Last; and that He might thus enter

with people even into their natural self, andmight teach and lead it from the Word. For

He rose with His whole natural or external

self, and did not leave anything of it in the

tomb. On this account He said that He had

bones and flesh, which spirits do not have;and that He ate and drank with His disciples

of natural food, and in their sight. That He

was Divine, He showed by passing through

doors, and by becoming invisible, which

never could have been done, unless the veryNatural Self with Him had also been made

Divine.

Invitation to the New Church 56


5/6

I am the Alpha andthe Omega,

forevermore.Amen.And I have the keys

of Helland of Death.

(Revelation 1:8, 17-18)
