September 1 to September 7 – “Man” refers to the spiritual reflection of God—whole, pure, and eternal. This includes women and children—created in the image and likeness of divine Spirit, expressing His qualities like love, intelligence, and goodness.
This week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson dives into the spiritual meaning of Man—the reflection of God, not made of matter but created by Spirit. That includes everyone—man, woman, and child—made whole, pure, and good.
“So God created man in his own image… and, behold, it was very good.”
Genesis 1:27, 31
“God is the creator of man, and, the divine Principle of man remaining perfect, the divine idea or reflection, man, remains perfect.”
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 470:21–23
