Today I ran across this statement, "Out of reach of the barbarity of his enemies, he was acting under spiritual law in defiance of matter and mortality, and that spiritual law sustained him." (S&H 43:24). Just before this, I had been asserting the knowledge that my recent experiences had shown the appearance of mortality 'getting the better of me', but in reality, what was really going on were some of the highest blessings afforded to man.
Then, I quickly realized that the statement perfectly demonstrated that Jesus let them believe they had taken his life, but in reality, he would demonstrate to all of mankind forever that life is not in matter, but wholly spiritual, as he arose from the grave. "And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him." (Luke 22:43). So we know that when Jesus said Thy will be done, before the crucifixion, and God's response was to send him angels who strengthened him, we have that same protection as we face life's obstacles, no matter how large they seem, or how impossible they seem to ever heal.
And what I've found really beautiful is that we have evidence of the works of Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy to be our light, or guide, in the darkness, along with the ever-present Love of our Father.
