"In the world ye shall have tribulation," our great Master, Christ Jesus, explained to his disciples before his crucifixion. "But," he encouraged, "be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33.
Jesus certainly did "overcome the world." Through his triumphant healing and saving ministry, he demonstrated man's dominion over matter, physical conditions, and materialistic thinking—thereby proving man and the universe to be spiritual, springing from God, the divine Mind.
But what kind of power lay behind our Way-shower's great teaching and example? What kind of power enables us to follow him as he commanded, in overcoming the world? Could the nothingness of evil possibly be demonstrated through action supposed to originate in the chimerical mortal mentality that Jesus came to uncloak and destroy? Can error destroy error? No.
