THE SAVIOUR’S MISSION – 3
Salvation is as eternal as God. To mortal thought Jesus appeared as a child, and grew to manhood, to suffer before Pilate and on Calvary, because he could reach and teach mankind only through this conformity to mortal conditions; but Soul never saw the Saviour come and go, because the divine idea is always present. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Unity of Good, 59:13-18)
