[Manna - July 12]
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36
THE true disciples heeding the Word of the Great
Teacher, and continuing in all things to be His pupils,
are not only set free from superstitions and ignorance,
but also from the service of sin; and receive instead
a correct appreciation of their own natural weaknesses
and blemishes, and of the divine mind—the Truth.
In consequence, their freedom is one which blesses
instead of injuring them; one which brings humility
instead of pride and boastfulness; one which brings
patience instead of anger; one which brings generosity
and benevolence instead of spitefulness and selfishness;
one which brings joy and peace instead of discontent
and bitterness of spirit.
Truly, the Son alone
can make us free indeed. Z.'99-57 R2440:2
