Putting on a heart of compassion

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering:”
    “And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.” (Colossians 3:12, 14)

    In thinking about our watch this week and what it says “You must feel the divine power is using you. You must kneel in humility at the throne of God asking and seeking to be imbued with deific power”, I found these passages helpful in reminding me where my thought has to be to be of service to Him.
    The Amplified Bible shed some light on these passages that I found helpful.

    “So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [ which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; (Col 3:12)
    “Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [ for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others}.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful Lesson Sermon on “Man”. What a gift was given to us through Mrs. Eddy to have a weekly sermon to study each week and listen to on Sunday that is without any personal interpretation. The Bible and our textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are our pastor, and the weekly lesson post gives one the opportunity to share their own inspiration with others. I have learned so much from these posts. Just another way that Plainfield Christian Science Church Independent provides for serving God.
