BIBLE, RITUAL, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Sacrament:
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread (I Corinthians 10).
Passover--O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalms 96).
baptism--Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father (Luke 3).
Eucharist--His true flesh and blood were his Life; and they truly eat his flesh and drink his blood, who partake of that divine Life (Eddy, 1906, p. 25).
morning meal--This spiritual meeting with our Lord in the dawn of a new light is the morning meal which Christian Scientists commemorate (Eddy, 1906, p. 35).
race--Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12). As time moves on, the healing elements of pure Christianity will be fairly dealt with; they will be sought and taught, and will glow in all the grandeur of universal goodness (Eddy, 1906, p. 329).
Often, when I read the Lesson for the first time, it’s just a
lot of words. But, as the week
progresses and I read it again, specific themes and phrases stand out to me
in the Bible and Science and Health. I
enjoy this weekly discovery of significant thoughts and modes of expression
from our Pastor.
