How many times during the course of our daily activity do we find ourselves facing complicated and sometimes confusing situations that would defy immediate solution. How often have we wished for simple, direct ways in which to master them. In the complexity of modern society are we turning to material or to spiritual means for help with which to solve problems?
Paul said (II Cor. 11:3), "I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." This statement of the apostle to the Corinthians, although written about nineteen centuries ago, has lost none of its timeliness, wisdom, or practical Christianity for those who seek the truth.
Christ Jesus perceived clearly the simplicity of the Christ, as his words (John 10:30), "I and my Father are one," attest. Jesus understood the Christ to be the ideal and idea of Love, the one Mind, God. He realized that man, made in the image and likeness of God, good, is found in Christ, that he is spiritual, perfect, complete. Jesus proved that because man exists with the Father, there can be no life apart from God, good, that all being is harmonious, immortal, spiritual.
