your righteousness

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!

    “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20

    “If all who ever partook of the sacrament had really commemorated the sufferings of Jesus and drunk of his cup, they would have revolutionized the world.” Science and Health p. 34

    Last week I came across a statement about the scribes and Pharisees that caught my attention. In the beginning of chapter 34 of Ezekiel there is a message to the spiritual leaders of Israel, warning of the consequence of neglecting their duty to God and the people they served. I am grateful to be part of a church that lives the Sermon on the Mount given to us by Jesus and explained throughout Mrs. Eddy’s writings so that we can be a healing force in this world.

    “The priests took no care to instruct the ignorant, to rectify the mistakes of those that were in error, to warn the unruly, or to comfort the feeble-minded. … They did not do their duty to those of the flock … those that called themselves shepherds, but really they were not. … And if those that undertake to be shepherds are foolish shepherds, if they are proud and above their business, idle and do not love their business, or faithless and unconcerned about it, the case of the flock is as bad as if it were without a shepherd. Better no shepherd than such shepherds. Christ complains that his flock were as sheep having no shepherd, when yet the scribes and Pharisees sat in Moses’ seat,…” Ezekiel 34 Matthew Henry Commentary
