The Divine Way and the Goal

[Original article in German]

HANS HERZBERG

Profound and significant are the words on page 487 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. There she state, "Life is the origin and ultimate of man." In the seventeeth chapter of John, Jesus says, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Since true knowledge of God and His Christ is life eternal, our daily effort should be to attain spiritual understanding; for thereby we lift ourselves above the apathy and limitation of materialism, which has nothing to do with eternal life.

Whoever realizes in a measure the strength and magnitude, the power and beauty, of Christian Science begins to forget "those things which are behind." He begins to "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"—the true spiritual understanding that heals disease, removes lack, overcomes difficulties, and blesses one and all.
