We often hear the expression “saluting the Christ in him,” or “seeing the Christ in him,” and we may well ask ourselves what that phrase really means. It is simply the practical application of the rule of Jesus Christ.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment (John 7:24).
Each of us has a divine Self that is spiritual and perfect but that is never seen on this plane. That is the true man, God’s man, and is what we sometimes call “the Christ within.” Now whenever you dwell upon or realize the presence of the Christ within yourself or within anyone else, outer appearances begin at once to improve. If somebody displeases you, silently salute the Christ in him. If someone says something against John Smith’s character, salute the Christ in him, refuse to discuss the matter, and of course do not repeat it.
The more often you salute the Christ in others, the sooner you will find Him in yourself.
When we look for the Christ in others, we manifest the Christ in us. When we treat others as Christ would we demonstrate Christ in the world. When we create Edens for those we touch, we live in Eden with them.
Seeing and demonstrating Christ in the world,
