"A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH"

VERONICA VIOLET PARK

"I SAW a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (Rev. 21:1). How great today is the need for every student of Christian Science really to glimpse this vision of the new heaven and earth, which the Apostle John had through the Christ, Truth, while yet he sojourned with men. Indeed it came to him in the midst of tribulation, during his banishment to the Isle of Patmos.

Mary Baker Eddy defines "Christ" in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" in these words (p. 583): "The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error."

Today, through Christian Science, John's revelation with its promise and comfort is finding its fulfillment, and as each student gains more of the divine light, he contributes to this fulfillment for all mankind. The tender Christ comes to the veriest sinner, to regenerate, comfort, and heal. It reveals the absolute truth of spiritual being—the perfection, wholeness, loveliness, and everlastingness of God and man, the oneness and inseparability of Mind and its ideas, of Life and its manifestation.
