"We live in an age of Love's divine adventure to be All-in-all." Thus, on page 158 of her work "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," Mary Baker Eddy gives enlightening evidence of the age in which we live.
One dictionary definition of "adventure" is, "A remarkable experience." Did not Christ Jesus show the age in which he lived how one may share in "Love's divine adventure"? The feeding of the multitudes, the raising of the dead, and the many healings of sin and disease were remarkable experiences indeed.
In later centuries mankind became involved in creed, dogma, pomp, and ceremony, and the power of God was largely lost sight of. During the Dark Ages, so called, which followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, mankind was as spiritually limited as Jesus had been free. But during the Reformation, the power of Christ, Truth, again began to be more widely recognized. It gradually lifted thought out of the abyss of mortal beliefs, and leaders of men adventured in many phases of freedom.
