"The glory of human life"

RUTH FAGUNDUS

What is our purpose in life, our reason for being? the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, says in "No and Yes"' (pp. 33, 34): "The glory of human life is in overcoming sickness, sin, and death. Jesus suffered for all mortals to bring in this glory; and his purpose was to show them that the way out of the flesh, out of the delusion of all human error, must be through the baptism of suffering, leading up to health, harmony, and heaven."

Jesus was our Way-shower. Therefore his purpose and ours must be the same. He demonstrated his purpose in overcoming sickness, sin and death that all mankind might find "the way out of the flesh" through redemption and through overcoming suffering.

Jesus said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20,21). "The glory of human life" lies in our awakening to the spiritual fact that good is the only reality.
