Show CHRISTIMSCIENCE "Doctrine of Atonement" is the subject of the sermon to be read I in First Church of Crist, Scien tist, in Milford on Sunday, October Octo-ber 20.. The Golden text: "We are ambassadors am-bassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray 'ou n Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God," is from II Cor. 5:20. The lesson-sermon also includes the Bible passage: "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear; But your iniquities have separated between be-tween you and your God, and your .;-sins .;-sins have hid his face from you, that be will not hear." (Isa. 59:1, 2); and the following correlative from the Christian Science textbook, text-book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: "Jesus aided in reconciling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divine Principle of Jesus' teachings, and this truer sense of Love redeems man from the law of matter, sin, and death by the law of Spirit, the law of divine Love." (p. 19). o |
