   1      While we adore Jesus, and the heart overflows with
     gratitude for what he did for mortals,--treading alone
   3  his loving pathway up to the throne of

    Individual
    experience

     glory, in speechless agony exploring the way
     for us,--yet Jesus spares us not one individual expe-
   6  rience, if we follow his commands faithfully; and all
     have the cup of sorrowful effort to drink in proportion
     to their demonstration of his love, till all are redeemed
   9  through divine Love.
         [[[The Christ was the Spirit which Jesus implied in his
     own statements: "I am the way, the truth, and the life;"
  12  "I and my Father are one." This Christ,

    Christ's
    demonstration

     or divinity of the man Jesus, was his divine
     nature, the godliness which animated him. Divine Truth,
  15  Life, and Love gave Jesus authority over sin, sickness,
     and death. His mission was to reveal the Science of
     celestial being, to prove what God is and what He does
  18  for man.]]]
         A musician demonstrates the beauty of the music he
     teaches in order to show the learner the way by prac-
  21  tice as well as precept. Jesus' teaching and

    Proof in
    practice

     practice of Truth involved such a sacrifice
     as makes us admit its Principle to be Love. This was
  24  the precious import of our Master's sinless career and
     of his demonstration of power over death. He proved
     by his deeds that Christian Science destroys sickness, sin,
  27  and death.
         Our Master taught no mere theory, doctrine, or belief.
     It was the divine Principle of all real being which he
  30  taught and practised. His proof of Christianity was no
     form or system of religion and worship, but Christian
     Science, working out the harmony of Life and Love.
