Description: If we were to venture on some great journey, how would we prepare ourselves? Wouldn’t we study the route, become aware of the conditions and acquire supplies needed for our trip? Wouldn’t we want to be outfitted with everything necessary for success? Otherwise, our journey would be difficult and haphazard.

All mankind must make a spiritual journey. We must leave the false belief of life in matter to the realization of life in Spirit. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science, writes,

“As the children of Israel were guided triumphantly through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides of human fear,--as they were led through the wilderness, walking wearily through the great desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised joy,--so shall the spiritual idea guide all right desires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for them who love God.” (S&H 566:1-9)

In the Christian Science Sunday School, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer and the Beatitudes are designated as the student’s First Lessons and form a basis for understanding Christian Science. All three lessons present clear examples of man’s passage from sense to Soul.
