What better way to begin
This year brand new
Than to read our Master's words
Marked in red --
Words of Christ Jesus who said:
"Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my words
shall not pass away."
(Luke 22:23)
Of all the things one
Can plan to carry through,
The blessings that come
To me and you
As we discover and review
These heaven-sent words,
Trust me,
Will top them all.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science writes:
"In no other one thing seemed Jesus of Nazareth
more divine than in his faith in the immortality
of his words. He said, 'Heaven; ;and earth shall
pass away, but my words shall not pass away"; and
they have not. The winds of time may sweep clean
the centuries, but they can never bear into oblivion
his words. They still live, and to-morrow speak
more loudly than to-day."
