Ideas that comfort and heal!

This week's Bible-Lesson sermon is:

Sacrament

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: . . . We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

(II Corinthians 5:6, 8) 

To be "present with the Lord" is to have, not mere emotional ecstasy or faith, but the actual demonstration and understanding of Life as revealed in Christian Science. To be "with the Lord" is to be in obedience to the law of God, to be absolutely governed by divine Love,--by Spirit, not by matter.

 (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 14:6-11)
