Ken Cooper’s “POETIC POSTLUDE” shares poetry inspired by Bible citations that celebrate OUR CONSTANT SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD in this week’s Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson on:
“SACRAMENT”
for Sunday, July 9, 2023
- Click “SACRAMENT: PLAY YOUR PART” for Ken’s poem on YouTube [We prove our love by what we do, by following our Lord….“THOU ART MINE”]
- Click “SELF-IMMOLATION” for Ken’s poem on YouTube [Now was revealed this constant truth, – my life as a child of God!]
- Click “PETER’S REPENTANCE” for Ken’s monologue on YouTube [in that true repentance of thought, changed wholeheartedly from self to God, I know I can never again go back.]
- Click “BEAR WITNESS AS GOD’S CHILD” Ken’s poem about Nicodemus [Forsake all flesh and be baptised, let Spirit shine through you, Reflecting God, we follow Him, and witness what is true.]
Sacrament, – putting God first, ourselves last. The Adam dream does the opposite, and when we wake (change) from this false belief of man our true nature is revealed, – the constant now of God’s glorious perfection. In the perfect Truth of spiritual being, God does not change, neither can/do we.
GOLDEN TEXT
1 Corinthians 15:51 Listen very carefully, I show you this mystery: we will not all sleep in death, (mortal view), but all of us will be completely and wondrously changed (spiritual reality).
RESPONSIVE READING.
2 Corinthians 03:18 “We are indeed at one with God, shining with His glory face to face, our lives becoming ever more beautiful as God enters our every action, and we perceive in glorious transfiguration our spiritual reality with Him.”
1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, you must stand firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, doing your best and even more than is needed, ever aware that your hard work for the Lord is not futile nor wasted, is never without purpose, and always bears good fruit.”
Progress is the unfolding realisation that man is right now the perfect reflection of God. We will all be changed with the recognition / constant understanding that man’s perfection and unity with God is changeless!
“OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN” “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE”
Let go. Let God.
