Sep-LaborDay114

Section 2

John 3:17
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

19:6
Jesus aided in reconciling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divine Principle of Jesus’ teachings, and this truer sense of Love redeems man from the law of matter, sin, and death by the law of Spirit, — the law of divine Love.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 3

Matthew 16:21
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

52:19–23
The “man of sorrows” best understood the nothingness of material life and intelligence and the mighty actuality of all-inclusive God, good. These were the two cardinal points of Mind-healing, or Christian Science, which armed him with Love.

Section 4

Matthew 27:1, 2, 22
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

24:27–28
The efficacy of the crucifixion lay in the practical affection and goodness it demonstrated for mankind.

Section 5

Psalms 30:1, 5 weeping
1 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
5 weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

45:16
Glory be to God, and peace to the struggling hearts! Christ hath rolled away the stone from the door of human hope and faith, and through the revelation and demonstration of life in God, hath elevated them to possible at-one-ment with the spiritual idea of man and his divine Principle, Love.
