TRUTH UNCOVERS ERROR

Helen Wood Bauman

Christ Jesus said (Luke 8: 16, 17): "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." These words may imply that when Truth brings enlightenment, error is uncovered.

Simon Peter was quick to recognize the purity and power of the Christ, and this uncovered his own earthliness. After Christ Jesus had proposed that Peter and those in his boat let down their nets following a night of unsuccessful fishing and they had brought them up full, Peter said (Luke 5:8), "I am a sinful man, O Lord." This enlightening experience caused Peter to forsake his way of life and follow the Master, to become a fisher of men.

Once one learns that his real self conforms to the Christ-image and that the mortal self is an illusion, an imposition of evil, one becomes more aware of the errors which so-called mortal mind claims to attach to him. He rejects these errors with more finality when he realizes that they are lies about him, projected by a mind which is not real, and that they are no part of his true being.
