Man Stands Undefiled

CORA B. JENSEN

A common and troublesome state of mind among human beings is a sense of guilt, inferiority, or worthlessness. It stems from a belief of having been begotten by mortal, material parents, born into matter, and of being destined to live a life of mistakes, sin, and unavoidable deterioration that end in death.

What a contrast to the truth, to the teachings of Christ Jesus and Christian Science!

Jesus repeatedly turned the thought of his listeners to their true origin, God. They were suffering from many false teachings, unfounded, cruel beliefs and superstitions. Their thought was much concerned with defilement, uncleanness, and imperfection of one type or another. Jesus lifted this terrible burden by showing them the truth that man is not a miserable mortal but God's beloved son, the immortal reflection of divine Life itself.
