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!

It is also fascinating that this parable ends with the following verse, which is nearly identical to what Christ Jesus told his disciples when they asked why he spoke in parables, in Matthew 13: 12. (Which I wrote about on the August 13th, 2017 Forum.)

Matthew 25: 29
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Matthew 13: 12
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

This seems a promise from God and a law to follow, if I truly want the joy that comes from God.

It is such a blessing how each lesson builds upon the previous. Thank you!
