The ancient challenges of Nehemiah building a wall, the disciples attempting to heal the epileptic son, and the Pilgrims struggle for survival and thanksgiving, is truly our modern story. We too are constructing things or thoughts, attempting to heal, and perhaps struggling at times, hopefully giving thanks as we rise from mere survival to dominion in God, the only power. What might try to derail our progress? Necromancy, alias mesmerism and hypnotism. ….. God is the only power, therefore there is no power against us. If the illusion of error tempts us, we find comfort, courage and counsel in God. The nothingness of error is exposed as we watch, work and pray aright. Errors’ last stand, trying to divert us from our mission, is powerless as we cast out the demons of ignorance, whereby health and harmony are revealed as permanent.

Escape death through Gods providence of Life, even just the scent of Life, which leads to our understanding of resurrection. Stop dead-end thinking and demonstrate eternal life now by acknowledging the importance of resurrection and its daily witness. Christian Science exposes the fallacy of spiritualism. There is no shortcut from error to truth; the growth in Christian character is incremental and not accomplished at a single bound. As for the final Judgment Day, there is nonecontinuously our love for God and man is crucified and resurrected.

Thy kingdom is come is realized by spiritually understanding:
1. Our happiness is not a variable emotion but rather an invariable spiritual fact from which we discern big blessings today!
2. Ye (me and all) are the light of the world, not by physical attributes personalized but via reflectionGods qualities individualized, which we must share in our unique way of blessing all mankind;
3. Gods perfect Love of us is reflected in our perfect love of each other;
4. Dont be childish and worry, but be childlike and glory in Gods full provision for us, including health;
5. If we build on the rock of salvation (S&H 593:20), we may remove our running shoes (with which we run in an attempt to keep a step ahead of the shifting sands of material beliefs) and assuredly stand with dominion upon holy ground, in the kingdom of heaven.

When we realize (with real-eyes) kindness and truth are solely from God and not from person, place or thing; and realize we live in the state of continual rejoicing knowing that good is not variable, we will not only obey the Commandments with our head, but also with our heart. Childlike humility is the path to understanding allowing the sword of Truth to guard and guide. Our be-attitude of happiness is constant as we live the Beatitudes, preach the truth, and proclaim the kingdom of heaven on earth, finding and declaring the promises fulfilled.

Understanding God takes away judgments, enemies and evil. We defend our thought with the armor of Godlike qualities as we yield to All-in-all; yielding to “All” when considering “all” details, both great and small. Realizing that power is not found in person, place or thing, we too can run to meet and defeat our Goliaths. We are in our right place when we overcome evil with good. Moral courage is requisite to see the allness of God which heals

In earth’s preparatory school we will face probation, many trials, but need not fear to the degree we love and understand God. Choosing the spiritual path is salvation, versus the material path which leads to the belief of death. Why choose death when there are absolutely no benefits associated with that erroneous belief; instead, choose life and truly live. What is the price of admission to the kingdom of heaven? Oil-consecrated prayer and inspiration, which overcomes the temptation to focus on the passions of mortality. Then whatever crucifixion experiences are encountered, we understand the gift of resurrection is ours, as Jesus promised, thereby proving eternal life NOW!

Christ is the headstone, the essential life building block, in all that we think, say and do. Let us be wise builders, like Jesus and Mrs. Eddy, as evidenced by their everlasting influence for good, versus the foolish builders who may sway thought temporarily, but fall. If we realize our origin and that of everyone else to be offspring of God, we will be about our Father’s business, offering proofs of our mission via healing in all its forms. We will enlist to go “two and two” establishing the true meaning of church in all we do and wherever the Christ directs us. Crucifixion in some form is inevitable with frequent resurrections assured as we understand the Christ along with the promise of ascension. We experience life eternal NOW to the degree we follow the example of Christ Jesus.

May our words be right, the words of the Lord, leading to works done in truth. Our job is to listen to the voice of God versus the masses, and apply the truth which heals. Truth spoken and demonstrated leads to freedom, and victory is assured. To keep progressing, it is not enough to know the truth for ourselves, but we must heal, preach and assist in the publishing of the truth, all in the way of God’s appointing. Giving mankind the bread of truth and cup of cold water in Christ’s name, will lead to brotherhood and unity.

Love uses no scale to measure mistakes; God knows us as perfect. As we demonstrate this understanding our path is revealed, yielding joy and satisfaction. Forgiveness is a key element in our progression and probation as it frees belief to accept the light of the Christ Spirit whereby we experience daily resurrection and ascension, oneness with God. TMT—That’s Mine Too is what we are privileged to say when witnessing good happening in another’s life; it is the recognition of Spirit which heals, not personality. Let us not be tricked by death, but remove its Halloween costume and be treated to life!

Section Summary Benediction: Reality is understood not from the inherent limitations of our three dimensional world, but can only be discerned from the fourth dimension of spirit, where we behold the steadfast love of God, perfection, one Mind and perfect man, even when the senses testify otherwise. Teaching spirituality by parables allows us to delight in continual discoveries as we grow in understanding. As we demonstrate our freedom from sin, sickness and death we can sincerely exclaim, God rocks!
