This lesson is filled with the concept of LIGHT!
Miscellaneous ideas on Light:
From the Editors: “No Darkness at All” August 27, 2012, CSS
Section 2:
Research: Gen. Jacob wrestles with angel
“Face to Face” biblically means the relationship of ‘original’ to ‘image.’
Perfect God, perfect man.
Original = God, “I AM”
Image = man, “I am
Articles to read on this subject: (Both articles are very inspiring. I’ve just given you a bit from each).
“Face to Face” by Gladys A. M. O’Connor, CSJ, October 1931
“It is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew that after Jesus had gone up into a high mountain—an exalted state of spiritual thinking—he was transfigured before three of his disciples whom he had taken with him. They, too, then saw the spiritual identity as a son of God, whose face shone as the sun with his exalted understanding of Life and Love, and whose purity was as a white raiment about him.
This spotless purity, into which no shadow of animality had ever entered, enabled Jesus to come into radiant communion with his Father. He was so conscious of divine Love's omnipotence, perfection, and nearness that he, as it were, saw God "face to face," and reflected in his countenance the matchless holiness, purity, and love which dwell forever in the divine Mind, and which had always been his as a son of God.”
“Face to face with God,” Mary Bretz Reed, CSJ, March 1987
"I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." 1 What a wonderful experience Jacob must have had to so glimpse what God is in His perfection, goodness, and omnipresence that he could see something of the unreality of the error he was struggling with—"a mortal sense," Mrs. Eddy explains, "of life, substance, and intelligence as existent in matter with its false pleasures and pains . . . ." 2 He was so spiritually uplifted that he called the place "Peniel" or "Face of God."

Section 2:
it's not uncommon for individuals to overlook delving into the context of the Bible, and why it is relevant in our modern livess.
With our online course, you'll gain the tools and knowledge to confidently address these inquiries to further a productive discussion with any age. Explore the significance of what constitutes the Bible, uncovering its relevance and impact on our modern lives and deepening our spiritual understanding with its relationship to Christian Science. We will delve deeper into the debate over the King James Version and why it might be particularly still valuable in not only addressing its historical significance but also the translation discrepancies that continue to be a hot topic within the Christian and academic communities.

“To love means to identify the object of your love with its divine source.” Ralph Wagers
What is it to love? It is always to see the man of God’s creation and nothing else, and to separate from our thought of man any belief of fear or disease; this is Love. MBE to a student
Quote from Lecture “Living to Love” by Grace Bemis Curtis
“With only a little love, we live meager, meaningless lives. With the wrong concept of love, we live dissolute, even criminal lives.With normal human affection, we live good lives.With unselfish love for our fellow men, we live great lives.With true spiritual love, we live glorified lives. When our life expresses divine Love, we live eternally. Divine Love and eternal Life are one.” (If you want a copy of this lecture, just email me and ask.)
