deadness of consciousness. He was the first of heaven's
children, to know who and what he is -- the Son of God.
Paul speaks of this when he speaks of Jesus as "The first-born from the dead." -- Col. 1:18. "The first-born of
every creature." -- Col. 1:15. Into his consciousness shall every soul follow, as fast as it awakens from its dream of
ignorance.
By what Power did Jesus know and manifest the
Divine Life and Truth? There is but One Power, One
Presence, One Mind or Intelligence. Jesus recognized
the One as All. He said, "Of myself I can do nothing."
He claimed no individual power, no power but that
which is universal, therefore is for all.
One says, "We must not try to imitate Jesus in his
self-confidence." But was Jesus' reliance upon himself,
or was it upon the One Divine Power and Presence, and
shall we not imitate him in this?
Jesus' sole dependence was upon the Divine Nature
which he was manifesting, the Christ or Expression of
God, his own spiritual Being and Life. The same must
be the strength and moving power of every living soul.
Each one may say as truly as could Jesus. "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me." -- Phil.4:13.
This Christ is the Whole Divine Nature, always with
us, of which each soul is a partaker.
"Christ is all in all." -- Col. 3:11. We need to accept
this in its fullest sense, for then shall we come to see
Christ Only; Begotten of God: Divine Self-hood; Divine
Man, as all Self-hood, as the Only Man. Not seen "After the flesh," but in the understanding of God's Divine
Idea of Man. All personality is lost sight of.
This is the Foundation and Substance of every living soul. Christ is God's complete Idea for all men.
