Overcome

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!

    “…for death must be overcome, not submitted to, before immortality appears.” Science and Health p. 76

    Overcome: (Websters 1828)
    1. To conquer; to vanquish; to subdue; as, to overcome enemies in battle.

    2. To surmount; to get the better of; as, to overcome difficulties or obstacles.

    In Mrs. Eddy’s article “Is There No Sacrificial Atonement?” in the chapter “No and Yes” (Prose Works), she states, “The glory of human life is in overcoming sickness, sin, and death.”

    In our Lesson in April we had this citation from Rev. 2:7, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, …”

    I am so grateful for our weekly classes that are constantly teaching us how to “overcome” sin, sickness and death. Knowing that this overcoming is step by step, day by day process, learning patience and having practitioner help here has changed my approach to life. It feels less illusive and more practical now. The work is not easy but the activity brings a peace, comfort and joy I never found in the world.
