Perspective of Spiritism on Jesus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Spiritism, Jesus is the most perfect model of a human being that God has offered to serve as a guide. In this sense, Allan Kardec states that, "for humankind, Jesus constitutes the type of moral perfection that Humanity can aspire to on Earth. God offers him to us as the most perfect model, and the doctrine he taught is the purest expression of the Lord's law because, being the most spiritually pure of all those who have appeared on Earth, he was animated by the Divine Spirit".[1]
According to Spiritist doctrine, Jesus came with the divine mission to fulfill the law previously revealed by Moses (with Moses representing the first revelation and Jesus the second). However, Jesus did not reveal everything; often he only unveiled the "germ of truth", which was completed by the "third revelation": Spiritism.[2] The medium Francisco Cândido Xavier, in the work Emmanuel, sums it up: "Jesus was the manifestation of God's love, the personification of His infinite goodness".[3]
