8-15 Jared Egger’s Insights on Elijah making the axehead float Jared shares many application ideas and how some scholars say this story in the Responsive Reading (II Kings 6:1-7) of Elijah casting a stick in the water and the axehead rising is symbolic of Jesus being on the cross and of his resurrection. 8-15 Jared […]
Jared explains what silent treatment is in Christian Science (not be confused with the silent treatment!) and shares that Mrs. Eddy once described a Christian Science treatment as “the absolute acknowledgement of Infinite Perfection.”
Jared shared with us of the importance of gratitude in seeing the abundance God is pouring out continually. He reminded us that Jesus thanked God BEFORE the loaves and the fishes multiplied and invited us to approach our day with an attitude of gratitude.
We come up different ways families support each other and Jared tells a couple stories of how his family taught him spiritual lessons – including not being influenced by impressions that aren’t true.
Overview: I have always loved reading about Peter in the Bible, and from conversations with others it seems I am not alone. There is a lot to love about Peter. He is dedicated, eager and insightful, but he also has several missteps along the way that lead to hard lessons. I think that is what makes him so relatable, because he shows that following the teachings of Christ is a process and a journey. In this lesson on Truth we see Peter grow from student to teacher as he learns about the healing power of Truth.
The Responsive Reading shares the bountiful blessings that come from a world governed by divine Love. The hungry are fed, the oppressed receive justice, man is healed, needs are met with abundance and so many other good results.
The foundation of this year’s Thanksgiving lesson centers around the definition of “good” found in the glossary of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.
As I read through this lesson, I had a song playing over and over again in my head. It’s one of my favorite camp songs called Love Is Something If You Give It Away. The chorus goes “Love is something if you give it away, you’ll end up having more,” and the single verse goes, “Love is something like a magic penny. Hold it tight and you won’t have any. Lend it, spend it, you’ll have so many, they’ll roll all over the floor.” This song and the 2014 Thanksgiving lesson point out that the more generously you give, the more you are able to witness and receive good.
As we gather this season with our families, churches and communities to ponder and share gratitude, let us remember where these blessings came from. All good comes from God. Everything that is good, that we have seen in our lives, originated from and is a blessing from God to his highest ideas.
