I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. John xvii: 23.
MIND, God, is the author of the universe and mankind. The author, the universe, or mankind, we never saw as the one Mind sees it. We see only the phenomenal or the material and unreal side of all things; and except we have our sense corrected by the reversal of all that seems true on this material plane, we cannot reflect what Jesus reflected.
He had a true sense of the origin and destiny of mankind. He "came forth from the Father, and he came into the world: again he left the world, and returned to the Father." His mission was to tell men the Truth, to correct their sense of cause and effect in the mystery of existence. He was the incarnation of Love, and he preached to those who in belief were the incarnation of hatred. He came as an embassador of a King and a Kingdom of Good to a prince who claimed the same origin, but manifested the opposite character and is known in Scripture as the prince of this world; mortal mind, satan, devil, one evil, darkness, ignorance, sin.
