May 5 to May 11 – Adam and Eve show what happens when people think they are separate from God. We learn that we are not fallen—we are God’s children, made to be good and spiritual. God’s Love helps us see who we really are.
This week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson: Adam and Fallen Man. There is a different lesson each week, where we share an excerpt from the Bible and Christian Science healing textbook.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:4, 5
“In old Scriptural pictures we see a serpent coiled around the tree of knowledge and speaking to Adam and Eve. This represents the serpent in the act of commending to our first parents the knowledge of good and evil, a knowledge gained from matter, or evil, instead of from Spirit.”
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 92:11–16
