Everyone is seeking what he believes to be good. The criminal believes he gets something good by his crime, and the upright man by his uprightness. The endeavor of all religion, of education, industry, and medicine, is to bring good to the human race. Yet how fleeting and changeable is mankind's concept of good! How insecure its grasp on good, how futile its effort!
Not so with the Master. Christ Jesus spoke with authority. He acted with dominion. He healed with certainty. And he said: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed"John 8:31; and "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also."14:12; Behind his work lay unvarying Principle, a mighty Science. He foretold the continuity of his ministry, the broadening of its scope, the universality of its final acceptance, and the utter destruction of evil.
He spoke of the second coming of the truth he taught and lived as the Comforter, which would bring to humanity the full revelation it was not then ready to receive; and he told people everywhere to watch. He promised that the kingdom of heaven is within humanity's ability to experience right here, and he stressed the need for strict and undeviating obedience to the Ten Commandments and to his Christly precepts.
