The Identity Divine Love Reveals

BY BARBARA COOK SPENCER

The great Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin painted a very beautiful, imposing work called, "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?"—three foundational, thought-provoking questions that have been asked by many thinkers down through the ages. And yet they have only been definitively answered by two individuals: Christ Jesus, who fully demonstrated the Christ, the truth of spiritual identity; and Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered, and fully explained, the Science, or law, of Christ.

Jesus wasn't a philosopher who spoke or wrote about the nature of existence. He wasn't one of many who sought answers to life's deepest questions in ways they can never be found—through the human intellect, or the observations of the physical senses. He simply answered the fundamental question of identity by what he was—by being the complete embodiment of the truth of creation's spiritual origin, nature, and destiny, because his Father was literally God, Spirit.
