Show "MAN" IS SUBJECT OF SCIENCE CHURCHES "Man" Is the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ Scientist, on Sunday, March 7. The Golden Text is: "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have csosen (Isaiah 43:10). Among the Scriptural citations are the following: "Jesus answered and said unt tohem (Pharisees), though I bear record of myself, yev my record is true.... Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; be-neath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world" (John 8: 14, 15, 23). Correlative with the citations are the following from "Science and( Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The real man is spiritual and immortal, but the mortal and imperfect so-called 'children of men' are counterfeits from the beginning, to be laid aside for the pure reality (p. 409). Man's genuine selfhood is recognizable only in what is good and true. Man is neither self-made nor made by mortals. God created man" (p.294). |
