Truth Knows No Defeat

MARTHA MAY SMITH

HOW comforting it is to know that Christ Jesus always solved the varied problems presented to him! His efforts to prove God's allness and goodness never failed. No matter how real a phase of falsity claimed to be—tossing, angry waves, sick bodies, sin-enslaved thoughts, or the taunting evidence of mortal mind decalring that those who had followed him must go hungry—the master Christian serenely lifted his thought above the dismal picture to seek and prove the facts of spiritual existence.

In God, whom he knew so well to be his Father, and as such the provider of harmony, health, and abundance, Christ Jesus unfailingly found understanding to quiet the turbulent waters, power to heal frightened, sick humanity, and substance to feed even the five thousand.

There is no record that Jesus ever accepted defeat. What a marvelous career! Even his apparent surrender to the cross led to his greatest victory, to his resurrection and ascension, enabling him to prove man's spiritual dominion; to prove that the false concept of matter disappears before the realization of real spiritual selfhood. Through this loving service he gave to his followers for all time the assurance of eternal life, and of the consequent powerlessness of death.
