Love is a Life of Giving
Jesus proclaims the new values of the kingdom. When Jesus saw the vast crowds he went up the hill-side and after he had
sat down his disciples came to him. Then he began his teaching by saying to them, “How happy are the humble minded,
for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs!
Hymn 218 ~ O Life That Maketh ~ Lyrics
O Life that maketh all things new,
The blooming earth, the thoughts of men;
Our pilgrim feet, wet with Thy dew,
In gladness hither turn again.
From hand to hand the greeting flows,
From eye to eye the signals run,
From heart to heart the bright hope glows,
The seekers of the Light are one:
One in the freedom of the truth,
One in the joy of paths untrod,
System of Divine Metaphysics
Divine metaphysics is now reduced to a system, to a form comprehensible by and adapted to the thought of the age in which we live. This system enables the learner to demonstrate the divine Principle, upon which Jesus’ healing was based, and the sacred rules for its present application to the cure of disease. [Science & Health ~ Pg 146:31-5]
When the 32 planks of the platform is understood and the letter and the spirit bear witness, the infallibility of divine metaphysics will be demonstrated. [Science & Health ~ Pg 330:9]
Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures ~ Chpt 17 Glossary ~ Mary Baker Eddy
ABEL ~ Watchfulness; self-offering; surrendering to the creator the early fruits of experience. [Pg 579] ARK ~ Safety; the idea, or reflection, of Truth, proved to be as immortal as its Principle; the understanding of Spirit, destroying belief in matter [Pg 581] ASHER ~ (Jacob's son). Hope and faith; spiritual compensation; the ills of the flesh rebuked. [Pg 581] BAPTISM ~ Purification by Spirit; submergence in Spirit. [Pg 581] CHRIST ~ The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error. [Pg 583] CHURCH ~ The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle. The Church is that institution, which
affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick. [Pg 583] CREATOR ~ Spirit; Mind; intelligence; the animating divine Principle of all that is real and good; self-existent Life, Truth, and Love; that which is perfect and eternal; the opposite of matter and evil, which have no Principle; God, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself. [Pg 583] DAY ~ The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love. "And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the
illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded. This unfolding is God's day, and "there shall be no night there." [Pg 584] YEAR ~ A solar measurement of time; mortality; space for repentance. "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years." (II Peter iii. 8.) One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity. This exalted view, obtained and retained when the Science of being is understood, would bridge over with life discerned spiritually the interval of death, and man would be in the full consciousness of his immortality and eternal harmony, where sin, sickness, and death are un-known. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which is the solar year. Eternity is God's measurement of Soul-filled years. [Pg 598-599]
