Peace, the Rule of Perfection

CHARLOTTE RUTH DECKER

We read in the Bible that many years ago a message was sent to the children of men. It came to humble shepherds, as they kept their flocks by night, announcing "on earth peace." This peace had always been present, but men needed to have it shown to them. And so at this time a child was born who was to demonstrate by his life how to obtain this peace, which indeed passeth the understanding of the materially wise and intellectual.

Jesus, as he grew to manhood, realized more and more that the real universe in which we live is the perfect one which God created; and he went about proving this. The rule of perfection—perfect God, man, and universe—has never been made void or changed; and Jesus knew this. But those around him were experiencing a material dream of sin, sickness, and death, and from this dream he had come to awaken them.

Nothing could take away his joy and peace, for he was awake to God's loving presence everywhere. As he went about rousing the people to the truth of being, the dark illusions of inharmony disappeared, and the peace of perfection dawned. Thus they were healed and comforted.
