Eddy, Mary Baker, 1821-1910

"Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures"

Only
in this way can we bless our enemies, though they
30:30 may not so construe our words. We cannot choose for
ourselves, but must work out our salvation in the way
Jesus taught. In meekness and might, he was found
31:1 preaching the gospel to the poor. Pride and fear are unfit
to bear the standard of Truth, and God will never place
31:3 it in such hands.
Fleshly ties temporal
Jesus acknowledged no ties of the flesh. He said: "Call
no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
31:6 which is in heaven." Again he asked: "Who
is my mother, and who are my brethren," im-
plying that it is they who do the will of his Father. We
31:9 have no record of his calling any man by the name of
_father_. He recognized Spirit, God, as the only creator, and
therefore as the Father of all.
Healing primary
31:12 First in the list of Christian duties, he taught his fol-
lowers the healing power of Truth and Love.
