The Highway of Our God

MABEL WHITE RODOCKER

The words and works of Christ Jesus should do more than reassure humanity, for when rightly considered they establish an abiding confidence in the might of spiritual law. Faith leads to understanding, revealing God as Mind, the infinite intelligence governing the universe and man. Mary Baker Eddy strongly emphasizes the importance of the teachings and demonstrations of the Master where she says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 270), "Fidelity to his precepts and practice is the only passport to his power." Only as mortals accept the spiritual sense of being do they lay claim to their divine sonship; and only as they live according to this higher understanding do they lay hold of their God-given birthright of freedom.

Certain standards are accounted necessary to human happiness, to moral and spiritual development. However, one may ask how the right way of life is to be found when one has seemed bound by heredity, poverty, sin, or sickness. For more than sixty years Christian Science has been lifting an ever-increasing number of people out of such bondage and revealing to them the true liberty of the children of God.
