We feel gratitude unbounded for all that Christ Jesus lived and proved: there is no death!
We feel gratitude unbounded for Mary Baker Eddy and her love and life of devotion to Jesus, and for the Christ Science she discovered that continues to prove his teachings for the world.
We feel gratitude for understanding that our individual resurrection happens daily. Step by step, as we overcome a material sense of ourselves, we are rising to a higher, more spiritual view of life and living, with no death of true good.
Being impressed with matter, its fascinations, lacks, limits, fears, discords, or even glittering attractiveness, even the abundance of it, we believe our lives are governed by how much matter we have or do not have. This nullifies our native beautiful spiritual sense. And makes us worship everything wrong. It takes from us our love of God and our joy of, and confidence in, divine Life with all its wonderful provision.
Today your model is Christ Jesus. He was always about his Father’s business. His was always a mission of Love’s love. We can rise above material, lower demands on us through accepting that ever-present, eternal good is from God, divine Mind.
Mary Baker Eddy shared this with a metaphysical worker in her home. “Jesus’ whole life was resurrective; that is, his life was a constant, conscious rising spiritually above sin, sickness, death. And his resurrection from the grave was to sense a type of divine Love’s final triumph over the human belief that matter is substance or has power to impose limitations [on] Mind or man.” *
Today, as we celebrate all that Christ Jesus gave us, showing to mankind, that Life is Spirit, spiritual, present and uncompromised by material sense, we realize that Easter should glorify God, and cherish the success of Jesus’ life mission. We are blessed beyond understanding.
Today let’s consciously put off the old sense of man and life material, and glorify (“render honor or esteem”) to God, and gratitude unbounded for Christ Jesus.
We can really say, then, Happy Rising! Happy Soul-filled Easter!
