INDIVIDUAL RESURRECTION

Robert Ellis Key

Two views of life are presented at this Easter season: one is filled with dark shadows, the other is alive with great light; one is distressing and dimmed with tears, the other reveals stupendous strength, achievement, and victory.

As one reads the New Testament and ponders the life and works of Christ Jesus, one is aware that the spiritual light and glory of God, reflected in the Master's works, entirely eclipsed and erased the shadows of materiality. The Gospel narratives leave one with no sense of evil as power, but with a conviction of its utter unreality and therefore of its inability to destroy Truth or to interfere with man's divine destiny.

Each of the four Gospels proclaims a similar truth, namely that man is the child of God, that he has a spiritual origin, and that he has a God-controlled career and a divine nature. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 489), "Outside the material sense of things, all is harmony." Jesus did not believe in a material sense of life, for he was well aware that man is not material, but spiritual. He was conscious always of his oneness with the Father in the heaven of Soul. His heaven and earth were spiritual.
