Jesus
in Jakarta
Christian Indonesians are ecstatic about a miracle in the capital city,
Jakarta, where thousands are flocking to see an image of Jesus on an outside
wall of a house. According to the faithful the image is of Jesus stretching
out his hands in a gesture of welcome or blessing. According to some reports
the
image was first seen on an inside wall but it subsequently moved to an outside
wall.
Those who gather to see it say that an image of an older-looking, whitehaired
Jesus-like figure appears from time to time next to the image of Jesus.
The area around the house is rapidly becoming a place of prayer. People
climb trees and children are lifted onto parents' shoulders to see the image.
The owner of the house is a Muslim who is quite untroubled by the fact that
the faithful claim they can see an image of Jesus on his home, but he finds
the prayer services which go on through the night rather disturbing.
Sociologists trying to explain the event and the devout reaction of people
flocking to see it point to an ancient Indonesian legend about the coming
of
a just Prince or Princess to save the people in a time of chaos. The woman
who discovered the image, a local shopkeeper, urges all who come to "open
their hearts".

Benjamin
Creme's Master confirms that this is a miracle performed by the Master
Jesus. The figure seen standing beside Jesus is not white-haired and is
meant to convey the idea of Maitreya overshadowing Jesus.
According to Benjamin Creme, editor of Share
International magazine, all the miracles are signs of the imminent
emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and his group, the Masters of
Wisdom. They are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet and
are returning now to show us the way out of our current difficulties and
bring the new teachings which will guide humanity towards its next evolutionary
step. Soon we will see Maitreya on television, interviewed on a major
American network and hear his call for sharing and justice, as the only
way to peace.
Benjamin Creme writes: "Over many years Maitreya and his group of Masters
have saturated the world with miracles. All religious groups look for
signs. It is through the signs that they know the teacher is in the world
or is coming into the world. You only have to keep awake and you will
see that signs are everywhere. In every country in the world, in every
religious setting, there are signs of one kind or another."
His telepathic contact with a Master of Wisdom allows Benjamin Creme to
receive up-to-date information on the Maitreya's emergence and to expand
on the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. Through this contact Benjamin Creme's
Master regularly confirms whether a phenomenon is a miracle that was manifested
by one or other of the Masters. Most the miracles are manifested by Maitreya
Himself, the Master Jesus or the Master Who was the Madonna.
