Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated man's full perfection. His ascension gave conclusive proof that man is the unflawed expression of God.
Reaching this final demonstration of perfection requires profound spiritual growth. Jesus expected each of us to outgrow mortality just as he did. While his actions, even his whole life, did provide evidence of the ultimate Science of being, they also give us a powerful example of what it means today to be genuinely moral. Jesus' life, in fact, illustrates the morality that is indispensable for the demonstration of pure spirituality.
The Christ does reveal the final nature of existence, man's eternal and unbroken relationship with God, immortal Soul. But the Christ does more than point humanity toward ultimate reality; it fosters such moral characteristics as chastity, virtue, integrity—attributes that establish a stable framework for outgrowing material limitations. Sometimes when people want to be moral, but have surrendered to what may seem an unrelenting temptation, they may need to better understand the action of the Christ; to recognize its overpowering influence for good. The Christ strengthens, supports, compels moral thinking, moral action.
