This week's Bible-Lesson sermon is:

Doctrine of Atonement

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

(I John 2:1, 2) 

Atonement is the exemplification of man's unity with God, whereby man reflects divine Truth, Life, and Love. Jesus of Nazareth taught and demonstrated man's oneness with the Father, and for this we owe him endless homage. . . . He did life's work aright not only in justice to himself, but in mercy to mortals, -- to show them how to do theirs but not to do it for them nor to relieve them of a single responsibility.

 (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 18: 1-5, 6-9)
