In the tenth chapter of the Gospel according to John, especially in the twenty-seventh verse, we find certain facts, which were not only true in the Master's day, but are verified and repeated in our own.
Jesus had been teaching the Truth, which could come only through his spiritual understanding of God the Father. He had come to the world as a proof of the mysterious ways in which God deals with His children. He knew God to be Spirit, Mind. He knew all creation to be spiritual. He knew that objective forms of life only appear something besides Spirit, because of the yet undeveloped spiritual thought of man. Jesus understood that all spiritual creation had existence only in the Mind of God the Father, or Creator; as Paul understood, when he said, "In Him we live and move and have our being."
The Master had told the other Jews, as well as his students, that of himself, as he appeared to them,—as flesh,—he could do nothing. He was Truth, spiritual man. He was one with the Father, because he existed in the Divine Mind as an idea. He taught that Mind and Idea could not be separate. He taught all men—who came to an understanding of this Science of Being, as he had done—that they were only coming into a rightful heritage, that they were adopted, by their own power of thinking aright, into the great family of Christ, Truth, God.
