Light obliterates darkness
For the lesson titled "Unreality" from March 26-April 1, 2012
The question, what is sin or where does evil come from? is one that troubles many people. In this week’s Bible Lesson titled “Unreality,” there is a thoughtful declaration of what is true and why material claims are lies. A common lie is that light cannot exist without darkness, when in fact, light obliterates darkness. Darkness has never overcome light.
Apparent dichotomies of reality and unreality both having power and influence are baseless. “The conceptions of mortal, erring thought must give way to the ideal of all that is perfect and eternal” (Science and Health, p. 260, citation 13).
The citations in this Lesson show us many opposites: eternal versus temporal, infinite versus finite, harmony versus discord, light versus darkness, one God versus many gods, closeness to God versus separation, and so on. Erroneous thinking would have us believe that these opposites are all a part of reality, but Christian Science shows us that only good has power.
