Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

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!

    Yesterday, while reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the following text stood out to me;
    “Christians claim to be his followers, but do they follow him in the way that he commanded? Hear these imperative commands: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect!” “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature!” “Heal the
    sick!” (S&H 37: 25-31)

    I made note of this text. I continued to mentally repeat, “Be ye therefore perfect.” This morning, I realized that there is more to this command, so I went back to my note. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect!” While it was good to state my perfection, I was omitting that my perfection comes from my Father. The definition of Father found in Science & Health is “FATHER. Eternal Life; the one Mind; the divine Principle, commonly called God.: (S&H 586:9-10) I was reminded that I must know there is only one power, God, that I and my Father are one, that all I have comes from God and it is good, that God gives me all in abundance, that I am God’s image and likeness and I can not be separated from God. This recognition is more powerful and this Divine power can not be stopped or interrupted.

    So grateful for God’s constant care and angel messages.
