313:9 With this agrees another passage in the same chapter, which refers to the Son as "the brightness of His [God's] glory, and the express [expressed] image of His person 313:12 [infinite Mind]." It is noteworthy that the phrase "ex- press image" in the Common Version is, in the Greek Testament, /character/. Using this word in its higher mean- 313:15 ing, we may assume that the author of this remarkable epistle regarded Christ as the Son of God, the royal reflection of the infinite; and the cause given for the ex- 313:18 altation of Jesus, Mary's son, was that he "loved right- eousness and hated iniquity." The passage is made even clearer in the translation of the late George R. 313:21 Noyes, D.D.: "Who, being a brightness from His glory, and an image of His being." Jesus the Scientist Jesus of Nazareth was the most scientific man that 313:24 ever trod the globe. He plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found the spiritual cause. To accommodate himself to imma- 313:27 ture ideas of spiritual power, - for spirituality was pos sessed only in a limited degree even by his disciples, - Jesus called the body, which by spiritual power he 313:30 raised from the grave, "flesh and bones." To show that the substance of himself was Spirit and the body 314:1 no more perfect because of death and no less material until the ascension (his further spiritual exaltation), 314:3 Jesus waited until the mortal or fleshly sense had re- linquished the belief of substance-matter, and spiritual sense had quenched all earthly yearnings. Thus he found 314:6 the eternal Ego, and proved that he and the Father were inseparable as God and His reflection or spiritual man. Our Master gained the solution of being, demonstrating 314:9 the existence of but one Mind without a second or equal. The bodily resurrection The Jews, who sought to kill this man of God, showed plainly that their material views were the parents of their 314:12 wicked deeds. When Jesus spoke of repro- ducing his body, - knowing, as he did, that Mind was the builder, - and said, "Destroy this temple, 314:15 and in three days I will raise it up," they thought that he meant their material temple instead of his body. To such materialists, the real man seemed a spectre, unseen and 314:18 unfamiliar, and the body, which they laid in a sepulchre, seemed to be substance. This materialism lost sight of the true Jesus; but the faithful Mary saw him, and he 314:21 presented to her, more than ever before, the true idea of Life and substance. Opposition of materialists
