Anchored

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 Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 40-41:
    ” … in order to enter into the kingdom, the anchor of hope must be cast beyond the veil of matter into the Shekinah into which Jesus has passed before us … ”

    Hebrews 6:19 – Authorized KJV – –
    “… which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil …”

    Hebrews 6:19 – Amplified Bible –
    “[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it — a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil…”

    The more firmly thoughts, desires, and hopes are anchored in the realm of the senses, the more uncertain, dreamlike, and insubstantial the world of Soul appears. The inverse of this statement is also true.

    Thank you for this post!

    Let’s see, would the inverse be: The more firmly thoughts, desires and hopes are anchored in the very certainty of the Presence of God, the more unquestionable, real and substantial the world of Soul appears.

    The Shekinah (or Shechinah) term was used “to express the visible majesty of the divine Presence…. The idea which the different accounts in Scripture convey is that of a most brilliant and glorious light, enveloped in a cloud…” (Peloubet’s Bible Dictionary) = The light of the living Christ!
