Where do we really live?
Christian Science shows us that we can’t get outside of God’s infinite realm.
There’s an app you can get on your smartphone called What3words. It divides the earth’s surface into small squares, each having a unique address that consists of three words. It’s designed to pinpoint your location within ten feet (three meters), even in open spaces, such as parks or mountains.
Although the words for every square on the globe are already assigned by the app, it got me thinking about what three words I’d use to sum up where so many people live today. Is it a place of “chaos and confusion,” of “discord and violence”? It certainly appears that way from events and rhetoric filling the media and from the political divisiveness and wars happening in many parts of the globe.
But Christian Science teaches that we can look beneath the surface appearance of things, as Christ Jesus did, to find the deeper, God-established facts. Jesus often used a three-word term to indicate where we all live right now: the “kingdom of heaven” or “kingdom of God.”
