“If we would open their prison doors for the sick, we must first learn to bind up the broken-hearted. If we would heal by the Spirit, we must not hide the talent of spiritual healing under the napkin of its form…. This is what is meant by seeking Truth, Christ, not “for the loaves and fishes,” nor, like the Pharisee, with the arrogance of rank and display of scholarship, but like Mary Magdalene, from the summit of devout consecration, with the oil of gladness and the perfume of gratitude, with tears of repentance and with those hairs all numbered by the Father.” -Mary Baker Eddy
“Ye are the salt of the earth.” “ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.”
-the Word of the Lord
“Let us watch, work, and pray that this salt lose not its saltness, and that this light be not hid, but radiate and glow into noontide glory” –Mary Baker Eddy
This tells us that we really are all sinners as the Bible depicts Mary of Magdala to be. We must drop to our knees and serve the Lord with gladness, gratitude and repentance, knowing that God is our creator and He knows every cell that creates us, the number of hairs on our heads. We are His children and we should not hide our faith from the world. We must stand proud as a Christ loving being and introduce the world to Jesus Christ, our one and only Saviour!
