ADVICE TO THE APOSTLES

.

.

“Be willing, then, to take up your responsibilities and follow me.

 Do your good deeds in secret; when you give alms, let not the left hand know what the right hand does.

 And when you pray, go apart by yourselves and use not vain repetitions and meaningless phrases. Always remember that the Father knows what you need even before you ask him. And be not given to fasting with a sad countenance to be seen by men. As my chosen apostles, now set apart for the service of the kingdom, lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, but by your unselfish service lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, for where your treasures are,

 there will your hearts be also.

.

“The lamp of the body is the eye; if, therefore, your eye is generous, your whole body will be full of light.

 But if your eye is selfish, the whole body will be filled with darkness.

 If the very light which is in you is turned to darkness,

 how great is that darkness!”

The text above is from THE URANTIA BOOK,
Part IV, 140, 6, THE EVENING OF THE ORDINATION,
and is just a very small part of what is a richly detailed
description of events, including a great deal of what was said
by Christ at this momentous occasion.  It's a good read.
