Holding in Thought the Perfect Model

Duncan Sinclair

There are two great truths which, probably more than anything else, serve to guide human thought aright. The first is that the real man is the image and likeness of God, perfect Mind; the second, that this can be proved or demonstrated by mankind.

What is the situation as it pertains to men? It is that, believing in the reality of sin, disease, and death, they are prone to suffer; that they are frequently perplexed; that they are often sad and weary; that many times they are far from physically harmonious. Men hold an imperfect model in thought—an erroneous concept of man—and the result shows itself in imperfect, troubled lives. This is acknowledged by every thinking person. Indeed, it is established by the fact that a perpetual effort is going on, on the part of mankind, to find a way whereby it will become healthier and happier.

Christ Jesus knew the way; and he followed it. Never did the Master lose sight of God as the origin or source of all life, of all truth and love. Never did he forget what that implied, namely, that evil, which seems to play such havoc with the health and happiness of many, is a lie. To the Father he ever turned, in order to commune with Him, and to learn of his true status as the Son of God. And how profound was his knowledge of the real man, how faithful his obedience to that knowledge!
