IN THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BIBLE LESSON July 21, 2008 ISSUE

ANOINTED BY EVERLASTING LOVE

KATHY FITZER

THIS WEEK'S Christian Science Bible Lesson, titled "Love," illustrates God's everlasting love and how each one of us is blessed by it.

St. John wrote, "God is love" (I John 4:16, Section I, citation 3). Mary Baker Eddy elaborated, "Love, the divine Principle, is the Father and Mother of the universe, including man" (Science and Health, p. 256, cit. 2). It's a joy to search each section of this Lesson for the action of Love, and for what is required of us in order to unite with the everlasting Love that cares for us and enables us to overcome hate and sin—to bless, heal, and love one another.
