This week we continued our study of Urantia Paper 20, The Paradise Sons of God, with a reading and discussion of Section 5. Bestowal of the Paradise Sons of God and Section 6. The Mortal-Bestowal Careers.

We explored one of the most breathtaking revelations in the Urantia Papers: the mortal-bestowal missions of the Paradise Sons of God. These are the rare occasions when a divine being steps across the threshold of eternity to take up life as a mortal being, like us.

Section 5 unveils the profound purpose behind these incarnations. Such a bestowal is never about persuading the Universal Father to love his children. God already loves us, perfectly and infinitely. Instead, these missions are an essential part of what makes the Creator Sons (the Michaels) and Magisterial Sons (the Avonals) the wisest, most compassionate, and most worthy rulers of the universes of time. Every inhabited planet receives a Bestowal Son. It is only after such a bestowal that the Spirit of Truth can be “poured out upon all flesh.” The Spirit of Truth then enables Thought Adjusters to indwell all normal human minds. Urantia may be cosmically small, but it is historically immense, because it was the stage for Michael, as the Creator of Nebadon, to make his seventh and final bestowal as the human Jesus of Nazareth. The Creator Son bestowal happens only once in the history of each universe. It was the triumph that secured Jesus as our undisputed Universe Sovereign.

Section 6 then draws back the veil on the mortal careers of these divine Sons. They are born of a woman, grow up as children, labor in ordinary vocations, and live fully as mortals, though they never beget offspring. Their incarnations are not symbolic. They learn, struggle, pray, and experience life exactly as the human beings they serve. Even when their human experience is complete, their spiritual ministry of illuminating minds and uplifting souls continues. And though they must pass through death, it need not be violent; the tragedy of the cross was not a cosmic requirement of God’s. It was a tragic consequence of the circumstances of this world. Even so, Jesus’ sovereign Spirit of Truth is an ever-present comforter, who guides the worlds of Nebadon toward light and life.

Listen in as we explore why the Paradise Sons descend from Paradise to walk among mortals, how their incarnations transform entire universes, and what it means that our own world was chosen as the arena for the greatest bestowal in our universe’s history.
