Finding Refuge in Truth

MARGARET HORN

IN the fourth chapter of Luke is recorded an incident of extraordinary interest. Christ Jesus, addressing the Jews in the synagogue at Nazareth, rebuked their lack of spiritual perception and receptiveness. Their anger was roused. They "thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong."

The record shows that they apparently had Jesus at their mercy. Yet, what happened? Even this: his conscious spiritual unity with God, divine Mind, was manifested; in the words of Luke, "He passing through the midst of them went his way." Thus evil was unable to perpetrate an intended act of violence against him. The Master's submission to the divine will had removed him from the influence of human will and revealed a way of escape.

Many in the world today are seeking refuge from the elements of mortal mind, and thus are in need of the same spiritual understanding which would ensure security and freedom from aggression.
