"THE BRIGHT LIGHT WHICH IS IN THE CLOUDS"

From the August 1931 issue of The Christian Science Journal


IN Job we read, "And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them." This verse has a wonderful significance when read in connection with the definition of "wind" on page 597 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," where Mary Baker Eddy has written, in part, "That which indicates the might of omnipotence and the movements of God's spiritual government, encompassing all things."

Christian Science brings to human consciousness the light of Christ, Truth, in which is shown forth the omnipotence of the governing, infinite, spiritual Being, God, of whom, and through whom, and to whom "are all things;" and it is mortal sense which alone forms the clouds that would hide the radiance of this glorious truth.

God's nature and government are always spiritual, never material. Often the difficulty of seeing through the enveloping atmosphere, the density of physical sense, is due to trying to make the material fit in with the spiritual. This beclouds the understanding with belief in another power than God, a life separate from God, with laws and government quite apart from the spiritual, eternal laws of divine Mind.
