A Great Sacrifice

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!

    From SH pg. 15 “A great sacrifice of material things must precede this advanced spiritual understanding.”
    It is beautiful how this line from last week’s Lesson connects with the responsive reading this week. The Psalmist in Psalm 119 points out what he has given up in order to keep God’s word!
    101. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 102. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 104. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

    His tone in this Psalm shows how much he values “The Word,” hence what he is willing to give up in order to keep His word.
    How much of my old habits, beliefs of sickness, past mistakes, regrets, disappointments and those delusive so-called pleasurable indulgences have I given up (or am I willing to give up) in order to keep is God’s healing words? Surely we cannot hold on to old ways, false beliefs and gain the “healing “ new!
