WATCHFULNESS

From the April 1931 issue of The Christian Science Journal


MARK records that Jesus, shortly before the completion of his earthly ministry, instructed his disciples to be watchful against evil, in the words, "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. " While recognizing the importance of such qualities as wisdom, purity, spiritual understanding, truthfulness, and love, the master Christian did not ignore or neglect alertness or watchfulness, a quality which helps to bring out the fundamentals of Christian character.
