"Discerning the rights of man, we cannot fail to foresee the doom of all oppression." This inspiring statement by Mary Baker Eddy on page 227 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," carries the encouragement that surely there is a way to overcome limitations and impositions of present experience.
The message of Christ Jesus, as the Gospels show, includes "the rights of man." He taught the freedom and liberty of the sons of God, and he proved the truth of his teaching by healing sickness and sin, and overcoming many other appearances of evil, no matter how real they seemed to be.
Patiently and lovingly his message shows the life which reflects Life, God, to be something other than precarious, uncertain material existence, the continual struggle against difficulties small and great. His life purpose is summarized in his own words, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
