Supply through Ideas

[Original article in German]

LUCY CURTIS LANE

When Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fishes, thus proving that the law of supply is demonstrable, his direct reversal of the meagerness of human thinking pointed to his thorough understanding of divine Principle.

Through Christian Science an opportunity is offered us today to grasp the teachings of Jesus and to put them to practical use. Mrs. Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 2), "God is not moved by the breath of praise to do more than He has already done." Our task consists in gaining a better understanding of ever-present Love, so that we may thereby recognize the gifts of God impartially bestowed on all. What incalculable riches in spiritual ideas are at the disposal of men through the reflection of God! Do we fully realize that every one of these is empowered to accomplish its purpose and work? How useless material riches would be to us if, instead of employing them, we allowed them to deteriorate through lack of use! So, too, we must make constant use of scientific thinking, and thereby gain higher views of spiritual existence.

Jesus said, "I am my Father are one." He felt no separation from God. On the contrary, he accepted his oneness with the Father as a divine warrant. With unsurpassed moral courage and sublime humility, Jesus glorified God as no other one had ever done. Unhindered by human measurements of time and space, he demonstrated the healing Christ, timeless Truth, filling all space. Most compassionate among men, the Saviour recognized the outstretched hand ready to receive and the blinded eye seeking the light of Truth. Far removed from personal condemnation, he discerned man's unity with good.
