The Scriptural references include: in-clude: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee". (Is. 60: 1, 2). "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall I shall arise; and when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me". (Mic. 7; 8). The following excerpts are taken from Science and Health with Key to thai Scripturels, by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals have a very imperfect sense of the spiritual man and of the infinite range of his thought. To him-belongs eternal Life", (p. 258: 25-27. "The sinless joy, Ithe perfect harmony and immortality of Life, possessing unlimited divine di-vine beauty and goodness without a single bodily pleasure or pain constitutes the only veritable, indestructible in-destructible man, whose being is spiritual. This state of existence is scientific and intact, a perfection perfec-tion discernible only by those who have the final understanding of Christ in divine Science. Death can never hasten this state of existence, ex-istence, for death must be overcome, over-come, not submitted to, before immortality im-mortality appears", (p. 76: 22-31) |
