"THE TIME FOR THINKERS HAS COME"

HONOR ELIZABETH HAASE

It has been said that the ability to think and reason is what sets the human being above the beast. The capacity to think includes the capacity to judge, to make a choice of what one shall accept as true.

Christ Jesus said (John 8:15, 16): "Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me." Here Jesus contrasts unenlightened human reasoning, which judges after the testimony of the physical senses, with Christlike thinking, which recognizes man's oneness with Father as His reflection and distinguishes between truth and error on the basis of this oneness.

We too must claim our ability to differentiate between the true and false. Today, more than ever, it is imperative that we utilize this ability in order not to be deceived by the illusion of limitation and bondage and in order to receive the blessing of freedom.
