Our Relation to the Master Christian

From the May 1977 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It might be said that in a certain sense our relationship to Christ Jesus is twofold.

From the absolute or purely metaphysical standpoint, the relationship is already established in the bond of brotherhood in the divine family of ideas — the sons and daughters of God. The full discernment of this verity of spiritual brotherhood under the fatherhood and motherhood of God is one of the Christian Scientist's cherished objectives.
