If ye were Abraham’s children…

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!

    9. John 8
    33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, …
    39 …Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
    40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

    I am grateful for the new understanding of this passage that our recent Bible Study (November 11th, 2017) has brought. As we learned then, when Abraham encountered that Christ thought, he recognized it, and tithed to Melchizedek. What a difference between the “patience and obedience and fidelity” (from Addresses by Martha Wilcox, page 343) of Abraham, and those in Jesus’ time that claimed to be “Abraham’s seed”, yet possessed none of his qualities.

    It is so wonderful how every lesson builds upon the others. Thank you!
