"To whom shall we go?"

JAYNE D. LUCE

In John's Gospel there is recorded a conversation between Christ Jesus and Simon Peter, a conversation fraught with meaning to the student of Christian Science, to the individual who is gaining a recognition of the absolute supremacy of God, good, and of the vanity, yea the nothingness, of all that is unlike Him. This chapter relates that many of Jesus' followers, after hearing him speak in the synagogue at Capernaum concerning his spiritual origin and nature, turned away from him in disbelief and "walked no more with him." Then Jesus said to the twelve disciples, "Will ye also go away?''

Simon Peter, with characteristic perception, replied, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." John 6:66-68;

Christian Science, the Word of God to this age, is speaking to the individual and has within its message the full gospel of the Christ, Truth, with its promise of salvation from sin, disease, and death. Are we listening to this Word and acknowledging its authority? Or are we, like the unfaithful ones, turning away from it in disbelief? Or, hardly better, are we only lukewarm or fair-weather followers? A clear conviction of the unequivocal authority of the Christ, Truth, as taught and practiced by Jesus, was essential to the marvelous demonstrations of the early Christians. No lesser conviction is required of today's disciples.
