"Loose him, and let him go"

GLORIA MC ELROY READ

"Resurrection... is a continual and universal process of awakening to Truth through spiritualization"

In the familiar account of the raising of Jesus' friend Lazarus, who had lain four days in the grave, we read that Jesus commanded (John 11:44), "Loose him, and let him go." Students of Christian Science interpret this injunction to mean vastly more than the literal command to unbind the burial clothing of Lazarus. They believe that in this command Jesus was also urging all mankind for all time to free themselves and others from the false concept of man as material, subject to sin, stagnation, and death.
