Note that this clause that fixes the nature of God, at the same time fixes the nature of man. It is a cosmic law that like begets like. It is not possible that a rosebush should produce lilies, or that a cow should give birth to a colt. The offspring must be of the same nature as the parent; and so, since God is divine Spirit, man must essentially be divine Spirit too, whatever appearance may say to the contrary.
At a single blow this teaching of Jesus swept away 99 percent of all the old theology, with its avenging God, its chosen and favored individuals, its eternal hell fire, and all the other horrible paraphernalia of man’s diseased and terrified imagination. God exists—and the Eternal, All-Powerful, All-Present God is the loving Father of mankind.
If you would meditate upon this fact, until you had some degree of understanding of what it really means, most of your difficulties and physical ailments would disappear, for they are rooted in fear. If only you could realize to some extent that Omnipotent Wisdom is your living, loving Father, most of your fears would go. If you could realize it completely, every negative thing in your life would vanish away. Now you see the object that Jesus had in mind when he placed this clause first.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him (Genesis 1:27).
Just think, we are essentially the same type of being that God is. When we are able to peer through the veil of our sensory-limited perceptions and their false reality, and see our true nature, and experience existence through our spiritual awareness, then we will be living in the Garden. Then we will know true peace, free from fear and filled with hope, confidence an d joy.
Lord, let us live this day in your presence, fully aware of our true nature as children of God in love, faith and gladness.
In the true spirit,
