The teaching of jesus concerning his own personGLENN PEASE
" Christianity is non-existent apart from Christ ;
it centres in Christ ; it radiates, now as at the
first, from Christ. It is not a mere doctrine
bequeathed by Him to a world with which He
has ceased to have dealings ; it perishes outright
when men attempt to abstract it from the Living
Person of its Founder."

Jesus was the source of all our blessingsGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus being the source of all our blessings. Paul says all things are yours. He lists leaders, world, life or death, or the present or the future, all are yours. That is everything.

of Jerusalem, in and of itself, is a mark of distinction that raises one to the rank, dignity, and
estate of Knighthood. The Religious and Military Order of Knights of The Holy Sepulchre of
Jerusalem The great devotion of Christians to the Holy Sepulchre has resulted in the founding of
various Sepulchre Orders honoring the military valor of the Knights of old who defended
Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre against their adversaries. Veneration of the Sacred Tomb of
Christ dates back to ancient Christians who regarded the Sepulchre as the holiest of all holy
places because the greatest of all great miracles occurred there-the conquering of death by Our
Lord Jesus Christ. According to Tradition, St. James the Lesser, an Apostle and the first Bishop of
Jerusalem established the first guards for the Holy Sepulchre. Historians commonly hold that
Emperor Constantine the Great founded the first Sepulchre brotherhood after his mother, Helena,
discovered the Holy Cross in her archaeological diggings in Jerusalem in 325 A.D. In celebration,
the Emperor Constantine built a great Church on the site where Christ had been buried. The
Church survives to this day. Some prominent Knights includes Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Norman
Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Muhammed Ali, Caspar Weinberger,
John Paul Getty, Andre Previn, Count Lloyd Douglas, Alfred Welsh, Tom Foley, Peter Falk

Genius was not an inherited quality. OPUS Majus Written in 1928
Virtue clarifies the mind so that man may comprehend more
easily not only moral but scientific truths. Innocency of the soul have gain greater
proficiency.
Virtuous activity is not sufficient for genius. It is enough to understand the laws of nature that are
already discovered and for an experiential comprehension of the known world, but not yet a
genius.
Two further qualities are necessary to leap the gap from intelligence to genius:
.Creativity - the discovery of new laws- a special revelation -fundamental insight given to those
worthy of it by God
.the application of this process of discovery to transform the world
to benefit all
.God ordained that the revelation should be given the world so that the human
race may be saved
.God is the intelligence active in all our souls in all cognition
.Person of genius apply their search for wisdom to solving the immediate crisis
of human civilization, harnessing to this end those principles in accord with
natural law for all eternity. Thus does true genius assure its own immortality
.Lastly the final ingredient for genius is humility-the learned ignorance. If
man lived through infinite ages in the perfect in this mental state he would
never arrive with certainty at the perfection of wisdom in the multitude of
things knowledgeable
