Easter Radiance

MARGARET WILLIAMS

Eastertide comes with a joyous message of Life and immortality. It is ever a season of awakened hope, peace, and restoration. All nature at this time is proclaiming the exultant joy of living and regeneration.

It was at this season, when springtime was at its fullest, and all nature was giving of its freshness, beauty, color, and fragrance, that the master Christian achieved his triumphant and ultimate victory over death and the grave, revealing to humanity the priceless truth of the eternality and indestructibility of Life. It was at this time he demonstrated the omnipotence, omnipresence, and availability of divine Love, and brought to humanity the knowledge of the Life that knows no death.

Mind, God, is continuously unfolding ideas of beauty, purity, holiness, and perpetuity, and Spirit's purpose is constantly being manifested; so man, God's idea, can never lose consciousness of the divine fact that Life is continuous—that it is an eternal season of spiritual resurrection, ascension, and blessedness. Life is unchanging, infinite, and never dependent on inanimate matter or corporeality. Man's true identity and individuality can never be expressed in temporal qualities or conditions; his embodiment is that of immaculate purity and perfection, and his true status has ever been spiriutal and eternal. It was Jesus' knowledge that man was never born into matter, therefore could not be subject to mortality, death, and disintegration, which brought about his final triumph. As Christian Scientists strive to follow in an ever-ascending degree the commands of Jesus and those of their Leader, they will behold the man and universe of Spirit's creating.
