Reconciliation

E. R. Hardy

Originally published in the October 15, 1889 issue of the Christian Science Series (Vol. 1, No. 12)

“That he might create in himself of the twain one new man, so making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.”—Eph. ii. 16.

It hath but faintly dawned upon the hearts of Christians that the solution of the all-important problem concerning life is to be found in the living example of Jesus, and consists in the simple demonstration of the divine nature and infinite qualities of Good. Jesus said, “Why callest thou me Good? There is none Good save one: that is God.” This should at once remove our sense of goodness from person to Principle, for he here declares Good to be God, and so demonstrated it.
