Q: When it comes to following Christ Jesus, sometimes I think I must be a “tough cookie” because I’m so rebellious! How can I do a better job at being obedient to what Jesus taught?
A: Journal readers join you, dear friend, in being alert to this tendency in ourselves, and we’re grateful for your honesty in asking this question.
What I love about the Science of Christ—which Jesus demonstrated for us—is that the saving law of God cannot forever be ignored. As much as aggressive materialism seems to assert itself every hour, the only real life we have is discovered through our communion with God. The nature of Christ as God’s manifestation, His healing message of truth to us, is to cause us to admit, and to love, our oneness with God.
