Have you ever been on a ways and means committee when everybody agreed about the objective but everybody had his own way of achieving it; and everybody was quite sure that his particular way was best?
There is a way that supersedes all the different approaches of personal sense— a way that can satisfy everybody. It isn't my way or your way or any humanly willful way. It may not be the way we've always done things before or the way everyone else has done them. It isn't a material way to get spiritual things, or a spiritual way to get material things. It's quite simply the way Christ Jesus taught his disciples. The way of spiritual thinking prompted by prayer is the best— the only—way truly to unify ways and means, and achieve lasting effects from our deliberations.
Jesus was literally the Way-shower. He brought hope and promise and help to the people of his time, meeting their needs, settling their differences, healing their diseases. How did he do this? By changing and spiritualizing their thought about themselves and about their problems, through the Christ-power he embodied. And he promised that those who followed him could use this way too.
