And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12-32.
Even as Jesus was lifted up from the earth, so must we be raised above this material condition, before we can draw others away from the belief that bodily conditions are real, and that Life is subject to change and decay, ending in death.
It is useless for us to try to demonstrate the Truth of Being for others, while we are more at one with this mortal self, than we are with the purity and love, which alone disclose our Father and Mother God. We must pray with Jesus: "Not my will but Thine be done," and then live it, for this is Christian Science, wherein self has no place.
