Ken Cooper’s “POETIC POSTLUDE” shares poetry inspired by Bible citations that celebrate THE PERFECT COMPLETENESS OF MAN in this week’s Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson on:
“MAN”
For Sunday, September 3, 2023
________________________________________________________
The perfection of man is the consequence of the perfection of God. It is impossible for there to be any variance between the two, because they are one! Similarly, Father-Mother is not two, but One.
Love is the standard bearer for everything that God expresses, and we are the cherished proof of all that Love is.
The infinity and power of God is made MANifest in what we are. Inseparable from God (Life, Truth, Love, Spirit, Soul, Mind, Principle) we are therefore complete in every way.
IN THE LIGHT THAT WE REFLECT, THERE IS NO DARKNESS, ONLY LIGHT. DARKNESS DOES NOT EXIST IN LIGHT.
“ARISE, SHINE: FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON THEE.” (Bible citation B9, Isa.60:1)
Isaiah 60:1 “Come on, get up! Awake early and put your face in the morning sunshine! Feel the glory of God shining upon you with all its radiance and brilliance.”

GOLDEN TEXT
Isaiah 49:22 This is what the Lord God says, “Listen carefully, I will lift up My hand as a signal to all nations, and set up My Royal Flag as a standard for everyone to follow; And they will bring your sons held in their arms, and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
RESPONSIVE READING.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit, God Himself, confirms our inward conviction that we really are His children, children of the one God, and His children alone. We are His witnesses.
Romans 8:17 So, just think what that means! As His children we share His treasures by divine inheritance, and all that Christ claims as his belongs to us all! If we share in his suffering we shall also certainly share in his glory.
The glory of God is infinite. It shines everywhere. So, dismiss immediately, vehemently, any suggestion of darkness, in whatever hue it tries to present. Light cannot see darkness, and neither can the reflection of Light. Darkness does not exist, and neither does mortal man! Man is the undimmed light and glory of God’s world: he is God’s glory! As the scientific statement of being states so clearly “Man is not material, he is spiritual.”
There are no exceptions. All of us are the ever-flowing offspring of God.
WE ARE ALL THE COMPLETE AND CONSTANT EXPRESSION OF THE LIGHT AND GLORY OF OUR FATHER-MOTHER GOD.
