Too often the world offers a gloomy scene—about our own well-being or that of others. In identifying who most experienced the depths of gloom, Christ Jesus would be a good candidate. And the Last Supper provided an occasion where that gloom tried to take permanent root in human history. But then there's what has been called "his last spiritual breakfast" that illustrates an unmatched joy.
Those two events—the supper and the breakfast—might be thought of as profound symbols. The supper as the night came on. The breakfast as the day was dawning. Individually and collectively we’re sometimes challenged with the gloom of the supper, and yet, there's a very real power that moves human experience into the glory of a spiritual breakfast.
When you feel pulled down by any kind of gloom about yourself or anyone, open your thought to the breakfast.
When you feel pulled down by any kind of gloom about yourself or anyone, open your thought to the breakfast. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 34) reminds us, "What a contrast between our Lord's last supper and his last spiritual breakfast. . . .His gloom had passed into glory."
Whatever would claim to defeat good and instill gloom, turn your thought to a "spiritual breakfast." Think of the spiritual nature of being nourished by the Christ. Be grateful there's a God-given law that requires any kind of human gloom to give way to every kind of divine glory. Christ Jesus proved this law. He left this proof to strengthen us, especially during the most difficult times. Remember the divine law. Gloom must finally pass into glory.
