I’m sharing with you today an excerpt from Divine Science Its Principle and Practice:
Jesus’ disciples accepted the fact that Jesus knew that what was true for him was also true for all mankind, for it was John who said, “As he is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17. The indwelling Christ is the same creative channel and quality of Spirit working in us which worked in and through Jesus. The same Christ principle which evolved in Jesus is in each of us and as wholly capable of guiding our unfoldment to its destined goal.
We now see that Jesus is our wayshower because his clear realization of the Fatherhood of God and the Sonship of man demonstrated how the Christ manifests in the flesh, when given opportunity, until the man, the effect, becomes the true embodiment of the Christ, the indwelling Cause. In Jesus the inner and the outer became one and indivisible – Jesus Christ!
Jesus is the perfect example of man’s potentiality. Paul assures us that we may accomplish our Christhood, when he says, “For if the first fruit (Jesus) be holy, the lump (mankind) is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.” Rom. 11:16. Our work is to find and prove our own divinity, to unfold our own latent powers, and to bring forth our own indwelling Christ as the second coming.
Meditation
We shall now move into meditation on “Christ.” Let us turn inward to our holy temple, breathe deeply and slowly, and quiet our thoughts. As I speak to take these words within.
God is right here, right now, and everywhere present as a living Divine Presence and intelligence. This Divine Presence lives me, and lives everyone and all life everywhere. It is the living light within my very being. This living Presence is love is the true one and only power. This very same power of love is within and lives through my being. This living Presence is the Christ within me. Christ is the living Presence of God that is guiding me this very moment.
The Christ of me is my hope and glory. (Repeat)
Divine Spirit unfolding through me, is the Christ light that is awakening my soul this very moment to the truth of my being. I am the activity of the power of light in action. I am the activity of love in action. I am the activity of goodness in action. I am the activity of knowledge and understanding in action. I am the activity of wisdom in action. I am the activity of life in action. I am the activity of joy in action.
I am a witness to this activity of Christ through every answered prayer, healing, and inspiration. In everyone I see regardless of age, status or intelligence, I am witnessing the Christ. I bless and praise the action of God, the activity of Christ. I behold the Christ... (Silence)
As we bring our attention back, let us give thanks for these sacred moments in communion. We are grateful for this truth and in our expanded awareness of Oneness. Thank you, Divine Presence. Amen.
