19 A man may cause the streams to flow from flinty rocks; may bring on storms at will; may stay tempestuous winds; may heal the sick and raise the dead, and not be sent from God.
20 All nature is subservient to the will of man, and evil men, as well as good, have all the powers of mind, and may control the elements.
21 The head gives not the proof of true messiahship, for man by means of intellect, can never know of God, nor bring himself to walk in light.
22 Messiah lives not in the head, but in the heart, the seat of mercy and of love.
23 Messiah never works for selfish gains; he stands above the carnal self; his words and deeds are for the universal good.
24 Messiah never tries to be a king, to wear a crown and sit upon an earthly throne.
25 The king is earthy, of the earth; Messiah is the man from heaven.
26 And then the lawyer asked, Why do you pose as king?
27 And Jesus said, No man has ever heard me say that I am king. I could not sit in Cæsar’s place and be the Christ.
28 Give unto Cæsar what belongs to him; give unto God the treasures of your heart.
