EASTER MESSAGE: RISE IN THE LIFE THAT'S ALL GOOD

WARREN BOLON

THIS WEEK'S BIBLE LESSON poses the provocative question, "Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?" In the Christian Science Sunday School, I probably gave a one-word answer to this one. But I learned that Christ Jesus' life and ministry show—and readers can explore through the passages selected for this Easter Week message—that the nature of all that troubles human existence is best discerned in the laboratory of one's own life.

When a Sunday School teacher's question sounded as if it required a positive response, then the easy-escape answer was another one-word response—"Good." You know: "What is God to you?" "Good!" "And what are you as God's child?" "Good!"

If you're still wondering what good really is—what it means to know God as the sum of all good and ourselves as entirely good and whole in God's care—then this Lesson is your Easter banquet. Its "Golden Text" sets the scene and invites you in.
