Healing the Lunatic

What majesty and might do we see in the calm words of Jesus!

"Bring him hither to me."

No doubt is here, no sense of approaching failure, no lack of trust in the perfect law which governs all.

"And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him."

Surely this lesson should teach us that evil is but an obsession and, from the standpoint of eternal Reality, a complete illusion. Could we cast out evil from our thought if evil were a real entity or had actual power?

(page 96)

The answer is self-evident, we could not. Evil flees before Reality and to the mind which knows it, evil is not.

Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, until seventy times seven.
