"Greater love hath no man"

D. MURIEL SAVARY

With what penetrating light Christian Science pierces the veil of ignorance and mystery that so often surrounds the words and works of that greatest exponent of divine Love—Christ Jesus! Tenderly we are shown how indispensable to the practical solution of every human problem is the correct, scientific understanding of all he taught and wrought.

Thus, in these days of apparent restless insecurity, we are led to realize how essential for the betterment of all human relationships and progress is each individual's acceptance of that wondrous, yet so often misunderstood declaration, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Not death, but a fuller, freer, nobler expression of Life is undoubtedly what the Master here calls us to embrace. The beginning, not the end, of high endeavor lies before us as we follow in his footsteps of unselfed love and service to our fellow man. For, through the clear teachings of Christian Science, we are enabled to lay down, or cast away as unreal, the false belief that life, substance, or intelligence is resident in matter, and to replace it with the spiritual understanding that Life is God, inexhaustible and permanent.
