The Last Supper   2 comments

Wednesday Testimony Meeting Readings.

This recording is of the readings on the topic:  The Last Supper.

The Garden of Gethsemane

“As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, Drink ye all of it.”

The true sense is spiritually lost, if the sacrament is confined to the use of bread and wine. The disciples had eaten, yet Jesus prayed and gave them bread. This would have been foolish in a literal sense; but in its spiritual signification, it was natural and beautiful. (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p32: 15-25)

Hate No One   2 comments

Hate no one; for hatred is a plague-spot that spreads its virus and kills at last. If indulged, it masters us; brings suffering upon suffering to its possessor, through‐out time and beyond the grave. If you have been badly wronged, forgive and forget: God will recompense this wrong, and punish, more severely than you could, him who has striven to injure you. Never return evil for evil; and, above all, do not fancy that you have been wronged when you have not been.

(Miscellaneous Writings – Love Your Enemies p12 by Mary Baker Eddy)

True Wisdom Brings Peace   1 comment

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

(The Bible KJV – James 3: 13-18)

Finding Peace   1 comment

Spiritual living and blessedness are the only evidences, by which we can recognize true existence and feel the unspeakable peace which comes from an all-absorbing spiritual love.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p264)

Our Purpose – Spiritual   Leave a comment

Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p506)
