Susan Jostyn, C.S. - Christian Science Practitioner I’m dedicated to helping you find God-given love, peace, inspiration, health, harmony, freedom. Prayer communing with our Father-Mother moves me.

Sources: Bible, writings of Mary Baker Eddy, others. Education: Masters’ at MIT and BU School of Theology. The whole Bible, and especially the love, healing, and teachings of Jesus Christ, are a light to those seeking to understand more about how God, Love, is expressed in our lives. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy turns readers confidently toward Scripture–the timeless and freshly inspiring spiritual meaning of the Bible–and encourages the practical application of its teachings. Eddy’s book affirms that the all-embracing power of Christ and the Holy Spirit are here and everywhere, now and forever, and explains how they can bring inspiration, healing, peace, and harmony to anyone, despite the most challenging circumstances. For more information about the Science of Christ, refer to ChristianScience.com and other resources on the links page of my website, visit a Christian Science church or Reading Room near you, or contact me.

The Lord’s Prayer begins with “Our Father…”. All of us have one Father and are brothers and sisters in one family. And yes, we are our siblings’ keeper.

Pride attempting to build a homogeneous, towering-wealth-centered nation is ultimately twarted by God (see the story of Babel, Gen. 11:1-9). God’s people are of many languages, nations, body types, and dwellings.

The Hebrew Bible contains wisdom literature. “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance…” (Proverbs 1:5). There’s a difference between God-given, spiritual wisdom and materialistic, personal smarts, so learn to discrrn between the two and beware of those who mock, refuse, or shut down wisdom and education altogether. Ignorant, self-righteous religiosity is not holiness.

Have a consciousness like a rock! The rains may descend, floods come, winds blow, and beat on our “house” or consciousness, but we won’t fall or fail when following the teachings of Christ. (See Matt. 7:24-29)

God made you, gave you your voice, empowers you to speak, and hears you.

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

I Corinthians 13

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, taught followers to serve others, not to dominate them. He embraced and blessed all in his spiritual-mindedness, though he happened to be dark-skinned. Yes, let’s get faithful and moral and go wash some feet, feed the hungry, and mercifully visit those in prison together, and have dominion over the suggestion that other methods are justified by Christ.

Christianity as Jesus taught it is a spiritual teaching and “…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23).

No person, place, or thing can separate you from God’s love: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38, 39)

One of God’s signs to humanity is a virgin birth - a woman operating and contributing to the world independently of a man. Then it can’t be God’s will for men to silence, confine, monopolize, or exclude women. God’s sign highlights how women can accomplish things in a way that no man can replicate. Joseph was led to yield his own plans, and to support and protect Mary, Jesus’ mother. Men and women are equally needed and empowered, and can be collaborative in serving God.

Posted with gratitude for those who authentically include and comfort all of humanity. “Whatever inspires with wisdom, Truth, or Love — be it song, sermon, or Science — blesses the human family with crumbs of comfort from Christ’s table, feeding the hungry and giving living waters to the thirsty” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriotures by Mary Baker Eddy, p.234).

Jesus affirmed the worthiness and honored the faith of a brown-skinned, female outsider as an example for his followers, including us today. His disciples wanted to send her away. She intelligetly defended herself. Jesus praised her faith and healed her daughter. “Behold…

“…a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.’ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she cries out after us.’ But He answered and said, ‘I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ But He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.’ And she said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered and said to her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed from that very hour.”
