Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness;
. . . brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Thank you for this comment clarifying the topic Probabion After Death. Tying in MBE's statement on reaction gives some real relevance to how to approach this on a daily basis.
Thank you TMC youth for your great work in bringing the ideas in Christian Science to a broader, youthful audience. The Canadian Spiritual Summit was great.
Thank you Ethel for your clear explanations which always inspire - especially the recent Reading Room workshop in Seattle.
This is such a useful explanation. Thank you!
I'll be replacing the impositions of inaction, over-action, diseased action & reaction with the right thoughts and actions based on God-like thoughts.
Thanks again for the fresh inspiration!
I try and put into practice the wise counsel of my CS Teacher and that is to tag onto each thought the words "says God". This way you can easily tell which thoughts are from God.
Patient obedience to a patient God. I really try to always stop and see if the Christ is going in before me. Am I making a decision based on reaction or habit or am I considering if this decision is inspired. It may be as simple as, "Love/Truth/Mind, you got this one yea?" And wait for the answer which is pretty always YES if I am listening.
see good,God,Love, in all you do.
I was asked by a student in Sunday School the other day "Why only 26 Bible Lesson subjects?" The implication of the question being why were these subjects chosen and only these. Its one of those questions to which I thought i knew the answer until I found that I didn't really have the information available. Can you help? (Thanks for all you do!)
Thank you SO much for the idea of death as in what Mrs. Eddy says about any action other than God's action! That was powerful!
