The glory of the tomb

Reprinted from The Christian Science Journal, August 1960.

From the April 1993 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes of the ever resurrection dawn:

"This glad Easter morning witnesseth a risen Saviour, a higher human sense of Life and Love, which wipes away all tears. With grave-clothes laid aside, Christ, Truth, has come forth from the tomb of the past, clad in immortality. The sepulchres give up their dead. Spirit is saying unto matter: I am not there, am not within you. Behold the place where they laid me; but human thought has risen!

"Mortality's thick gloom is pierced. The stone is rolled away. Death has lost its sting, and the grave its victory Immortal courage fills the human breast and lights the living way of Life" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 191).
