succeeded  in  finding  some  solace  and  some  didn’t.  Those  that
            found something that would be of assistance to them glorified the
            person  of  Jesus  and  those  that  didn’t  find  what  they  expected
            condemned him. The difficulty with appearing as a saviour is that
            the  expectations  of  those  who  seek  to  be  saved  have  to  be
            satisfied. These expectations are such that there can be no saving.
            If  these  expectations  were  acceptable  then  salvation  would
            already have taken place. If salvation hadn’t taken place then the
            expectations were not accurate and whether Jesus or God were to
            make them true then the expectations could not be right, and that
            the assumption that there was positive Divine intervention would
            have been an illusion created in the ignorance of the needy. You
            are warned of false prophets and we would also like to add the
            awareness  of  false  devotees.  Many  rally  around  the  man  called
            Jesus  so  that  their  belonging  to  this  group  will  guarantee  them
            salvation. They do not question and personalise the truth of their
            position and in this way give into a blind faith usually through the
            fear of loosing the position of belonging. They are afraid of being
            outside. They become the false devotee. The one they revere as
            the  prophet  cannot  control  this  state  of  that  being.  The  deified
            teacher  can  only  continue  to  teach.  They  must  be  aware  all  the
            time of the position they hold and not think that because they help
            others become aware that they are something special. Others may
            seek to put them on a pedestal. That is where those people will
            see them. The teacher must keep their feet always on the ground
            and know that. This in time will allow the misguided to see the
            folly of their own ignorance and to reassess their beliefs, hopefully
            finding  the  truth.  Unfortunately  the  ignorance  is  such  that  the
            false  devotee  does  not  realise  the  responsibility  they  have  to
            themselves and that all that is happening in life is for their good
