THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOOD

From the December 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Among the many thought-provoking incidents in the Bible is John's brief, yet vivid, account of the two disciples of John the Baptist who followed Jesus and inquired of him (John 1:38), "Rabbi,... where dwellest thou?" The record continues: "He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day."

It is quite conceivable that as the two disciples remained with Jesus the entire day, he not only showed them where he was staying at the time, but also enlightened them regarding his mental dwelling place, the spiritual trend of his thinking, his constant consciousness of good.

To be conscious only of that which is good and never to know evil as real would indeed be a blessed state of existence. The average individual may deride such a possibility, but Christian Science teaches and maintains that the forever consciousness of good is possible and is, from God's standpoint, our present real state of being.
