Some Steps Toward International Peace

From the December 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Jesus proved the unbroken continuity of Life. Through his own individual living and healing, he revealed that Life is God and that the spiritual laws of Life are forever expressed in continuity, perfection, and unimpaired activity. Christian Science brings out the universal applicability of the Exemplar's pattern, making it possible for all mankind to demonstrate the laws of Life.

There is no other way to collective peace throughout the world than by such individual realization, whereby men, women, and children come to recognize their real selfhood as sons and daughters of the living God. To the degree that they accept their divine inheritance, reflecting the impartial love of the Father by seeing as true of others what they wish others to see as true of them, more than their individual experience is affected. They begin to glimpse the uninterrupted and unimpaired coexistence of God's creation under His rule.

However, the appearing of the God directed government depends upon men's own better identification with the Life that is God, and on their expression of it in their daily experience. For genuine peace to appear, the truth must be more generally accepted that God's laws, the laws of all harmonious Life, are omnipotent on earth as they are in heaven.
