The Christ Transforms Lives

A few of us here in Plainfield have been re-watching “The Chosen,” which is an independent series about the ministry of Christ Jesus. In the last episode of the first season, it shows how he meets the woman from Samaria at Jacob’s well. The way that it portrays this woman, who was trapped in the life she made, and then how she reacts when Jesus tells her she is not rejected by the Messiah, although others have rejected her, was beautiful. It culminates in such joy and freedom in her, as she runs to tell the people in the town that the Messiah has come. It was so well done, that it really moved me.

It was an excellent reminder of how I felt when I first came to Plainfield. God had worked this humanly impossible transition for me to come here; and, once I was here, it felt like the light was turned on. I found a whole new life that I could not have imagined.

I am grateful that the support of my practitioner and my years of studying Christian Science here have steadily increased the hope, purpose, place, and love that I feel. I am also grateful to know that Christian Science will give this to all who God brings here. It is so wonderful to be a part of this mission.
