"Behold the Lamb of God," said John the Baptist to two of his disciples, as they saw Jesus walking by. They, therefore, followed Jesus, asking him where he dwelt. He invited them to "come and see." It is recorded that "they came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day."
How fundamental, how cardinal was the question put to Jesus by the disciples of John; how all-essential that they who accepted his invitation should discern spiritually where it was that he dwelt—should learn from him how to abide there in a like serene consistency!
On page 36 of "No and Yes" Mrs. Eddy has stated where it was that Jesus dwelt. "Jesus' true and conscious being never left heaven for earth. It abode forever above, even while mortals believed it was here," she writes. In this eternal abiding place, man is preserved from birth and death, from immaturity and decay, from chance and change. From here there is neither coming nor going; neither retreat nor emergence. Here he abides, whatever the danger or vicissitude of mortal existence, supremely conscious that the dwelling place of Spirit can neither be invaded nor disturbed.
