Amazing Lessons from a Sheepdog

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!

    Philip Keller’s Lessons from a Sheepdog is the story of Lass, forever changed from an abused, chained, fear-crazed heap of snarling hostility into a free, appreciative, loving, exuberant friend eager to obey and to please her master every moment, every day.

    It’s a new and exciting experience to hear the author himself speak about Lass to a live audience in this video.

    Mrs. Eddy often speaks of the atonement as the oneness of God and His image, or “reflex shadow”. The obedience of Lass models this shadow quality: not grudging or robotic, but an experience of joy, pure joy that cannot be contained, joy that welcomes every new command as a fresh, new adventure.

    Lass and her master are an incredible illustration of at-one-ment, or, as Christ Jesus put it, “[being] made perfect in one”!

    The story of Lass reminds me of the murderous Saul of Tarsus, who experienced “the touch of the Master’s hand” and was changed forever into God’s loving, joyful, obedient shadow. Paul.

    Thank you Parthens for sharing this! What we find through our obedience and gratitude is priceless. Grateful for the reminder to spend time with John 14, 15, and 16.
