God Tells Us What to Say

ROSALIE BENNETT TREWORGY

How important it is to say the right thing at the right time! The ability to do this is not a special talent belonging only to a few; it is the result of knowing that there is only one Mind, God, and that man always reflects this Mind.

The Gospel of John tells of Jesus' experience when the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery (8: 5-7): "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what savest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them. He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

As a result of knowing his oneness with and his inseparability from his Father. God, what an inspired reply he made! One sentence only, but it silenced the Pharisees and protected the woman.
