________________ The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ was near, and he strengthened their belief in the God of their fathers, "Children, do not give yourselves up to despair," said the Heavenly Father by the mouth of Issa, "for I have heard your voice and your cries have reached even unto me." “Do not weep, O my beloved, for your cries have touched the heart of your Heavenly Father, and He has forgiven you as He forgave your ancestors.” “Do not forsake your family to plunge yourself into iniquity, lose not the nobility of your feelings, and worship not idols which will remain deaf to your voice." “Fill my temple with your hope and your patience and do not abjure the religion of your fathers, for I alone have guided them and heaped favours on them.” 9 "You shall raise those who have fallen, you shall give food to those that are hungry, and you shall help the sick that you may be pure and just at the Day of Judgment which I am preparing for you." 10 The Israelites came in throngs to hear the words of Issa, and asked him where they should praise their Heavenly Father, since the enemy had razed their temples to the ground and laid profane hands on their sacred vessels. - 112
