  Introduction

Almost two thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth gave mankind the Sermon on the Mount. We can find essential parts of this teaching in the Bible (Mt. 5-7). The Sermon on the Mount contains the essence of the teaching of Jesus – key statements for a life according to the laws of God, tips for our relationship with our fellow men, with the animals, with nature. The one who puts these teachings into practice in his daily life will soon feel his life changing, that it becomes peaceful and positive.
But church leaders and politicians, especially those of the so-called Christian world, claim this teaching is utopian and cannot be put into practice.
Does this mean that Jesus of Nazareth was a utopian?
Or was He the realist who could show us the way out of the maze of the human ego?
Christ, the Son of God, walked this earth as Jesus of Nazareth. His Redeemer-Spirit lives and is active in each one of us since the “It is finished” on Golgotha. Over the past two thousand years, He has spoken again and again through the mouth of prophets. Today, in this mighty time of radical change, He reveals Himself anew through His prophetess. He explains and deepens His teachings which He gave to humankind as Jesus of Nazareth. This is also the case in His great work of revelation “This Is My Word, Alpha and Omega, the Gospel of Jesus – the Christ-Revelation that true Christians the world over have come to know.”
This work goes far beyond the content of the Bible; it gives us an overwhelming picture of what was, of what is and of what will be. In this revelation, Christ also gives mankind all-encompassing guidelines for a truly spiritual life in accordance with the divine laws. Thus, His words, spoken as Jesus of Nazareth, are fulfilled: “I have yet many things to say to you ...” (John 16:12). Building on an already existing gospel that is not part of the Bible, called the “Gospel of the Holy Twelve,” Christ describes His living and working as Jesus of Nazareth in the book “This Is My Word.” In particular, He points out to us how in today’s time we can live in accordance with the laws of God, in accordance with the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount; and He gives us a preview of the future, of His Kingdom of Peace on earth.
The Sermon on the Mount of Jesus contains the essence of the path within, which Christ teaches today on all levels and in all detail in Universal Life and through His prophetic word. The Inner Path "Nearer, My God, to Thee” is the path of self-recognition and of overcoming one’s human faults out of love for God. The person who successfully walks this path to selflessness, to equality, freedom, unity, brotherliness and justice receives the strength to fulfill more and more the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments in his daily life – even in business and commerce.
The intent of this book is to give all seeking people of our time an understanding of the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus – not only those parts documented in the Bible, but His teaching with explanations and deepenings that Christ has given to mankind in our time through His prophetic word. Beyond that, this book should give the reader insight into the depths of the work of revelation “This Is My Word, Alpha and Omega, The Gospel of Jesus – The Christ-revelation that true Christians the world over have come to know.”
In the latter work, Christ builds on the book “The Gospel of the Holy Twelve.” However, since much of it is incomplete and sometimes falsely passed on, Christ explains and corrects this text today. Those passages which the Lord does not address more closely essentially agree with the truth of His life and work as Jesus of Nazareth. Beyond that, Christ deepens and expands the more important reports in the “The Gospel of Jesus.” Thus, in the complete work “This Is My Word,” mankind is now given the entire truth, all essential aspects of the life of Jesus and His teaching.
In the book “This Is My Word,” one or more verses from “The Gospel of the Holy Twelve” are followed by the words with which Christ explained, corrected and deepened the individual passages in 1989. This form was maintained while rendering the excerpts at hand. However, titles are used to subdivide the text and organize it in a clear way.
The words of Christ to the future inhabitants of His Kingdom of Peace about the life and activities of the pioneers of this kingdom are not repeated in the revelation text of the Sermon on the Mount from “This Is My Word,” because these statements do not concern the text of the Sermon on the Mount.
This book contains the Twelve Commandments of Jesus that He has now given to mankind anew in His work of revelation “This Is My Word,” (Chap. 46:7-21). In essence, they are the Ten Commandments that God revealed through Moses and that Jesus of Nazareth expanded for His Kingdom of Peace in coming on earth.
The following information will also be important for the reader who wants to actualize in his life the commandments of the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus. After revealing the complete content of His Sermon on the Mount and the revelation of the path to God in the innermost being of every person, Christ revealed in 1991 the highest law to us, the Absolute Law, in His work, “The Great Cosmic Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth to His Apostles and Disciples Who Could Understand Them. The Life of True God-filled Men.” It is the law of the heavens, given as further help to all those who have set out to become pure in heart again through the fulfillment of the laws of God.
God gave and gives. He does not ask whether a person recognizes His word, the word of God, and lives accordingly. Each one can examine and decide for himself. May the one who can grasp it, grasp it.
