THE OPEN DOOR—IT'S YOU!

From the September 2009 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"I AM THE DOOR" (John 10:9).

What an unusual way for Christ Jesus to describe himself to his disciples. Why "door"? We go in and out of doors. Was Jesus saying that through his teaching and life-example, you and I can enter in and then live the divine Life as he did? Mary Baker Eddy, a preeminent Christian healer, wrote of Jesus as "... that life-link forming the connection through which the real reaches the unreal, Soul rebukes sense, and Truth destroys error" (Science and Health, p. 350). Now that's some door!

What if it became your mission and mine to be a life-link where "the real reaches the unreal, Soul rebukes sense, and Truth destroys error"? The Bible says God made all of us in His own image, in His own likeness (see Gen. 1:26, 27). Aren't we meant to live as the self-revealing activity of God, as an open door through which the divine nature shines?
