Mrs. Eddy once wrote, “The Gospel of Christ was a gospel of glory that never could have been given except through a gospel of suffering.”  Mary Baker Eddy   (Carpenter, Jr., Gilbert, 500 Watching Points, #280)

Students expect more and more teaching. This is the work of the evil one. God alone teaches. He says something to us all every hour. When will they all awake to hear His voice and stop looking to me?   Mary Baker Eddy   (Carpenter Gilbert, Collectanea of Items By and About Mary Baker Eddy, p.

Reckoning ourself from the standpoint of Soul, instead of personal sense, we progress as spontaneously as light emits light: but reversing this order of science, in which man begins in the body, and looks there for both pain and pleasure, yea, for Life and for death, he retrogrades hourly, until he finally disappears in what is termed death. The evidence of personal sense, or Life in matter, is utterly reversed in science, wherein we learn there is neither a personal God nor a personal man.   (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st, ed., p.227)

There is no sin or error, to mesmerize me into seeing or feeling a
body.  Mary Baker Eddy   (Oakes, Richard, Course In Divinity and General Collectanea, p.69)

THE SAVIOUR’S MISSION – 16

Its kingdom, not apparent to material sense, never disappeared to spiritual sense, but remained forever in the Science of being. The so-called appearing, disappearing, and reappearing of ever-presence, in whom is no variableness or shadow of turning, is the false human sense of that light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Unity of Good, 63:5-11)

THE SAVIOUR’S MISSION – 15

Mary had risen to discern faintly God’s ever-presence, and that of His idea, man; but her mortal sense, reversing Science and spiritual understanding, interpreted this appearing as a risen Christ. The I am was neither buried nor resurrected. The Way, the Truth, and the Life were never absent for a moment. This trinity of Love lives and reigns forever.   (Eddy, Mary Baker, Unity of Good, 62:27-5)

THE SAVIOUR’S MISSION – 14

In Science, Christ never died. In material sense Jesus died, and lived. The fleshly Jesus seemed to die, though he did not. The Truth or Life in divine Science — undisturbed by human error, sin, and death — saith forever, “I am the living God, and man is My idea, never in matter, nor resurrected from it.” “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.” (Luke xxiv. 5, 6.) Mortal sense, confining itself to matter, is all that can be buried or resurrected.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Unity of Good, 62:18-26)

• THE SAVIOUR’S MISSION – 13

Mortals can understand this only as they reach the Life of good, and learn that there is no Life in evil. Then shall it appear that the true ideal of omnipotent and ever-present good is an ideal wherein and wherefor there is no evil. Sin exists only as a sense, and not as Soul. Destroy this sense of sin, and sin disappears. Sickness, sin, or death is a false sense of Life and good. Destroy this trinity of error, and you find Truth.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Unity of Good, 62:10-17)
