Mark
MARK 2:27,
• Spectre of Freedom, chapter: Religion.
Your everyday life can show whether the teaching to which your heart is faithful is taking you towards true freedom or whether you are a servant to a teaching which dazzles you, so that you do not see that it is only a spectre pretending to be ‘freedom’! – –
“The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath!”
Only when teaching becomes part of life can it prove itself!

MARK 12:10,
• More Light, chapter: The architects of the cathedral of mankind:
They knew nothing of the fact that in him ‘the kingdom of heaven’ in which he spiritually lived, – had come into their presence, in the midst of this life on earth, and the recognition of Cephas-Peter was foreign to them: “Lord, to whom shall we go? – You have the words of life!”
Yet the ‘Son of God’ of the Gospels never thought of regarding his human personality as the only bearer of this filial status on earth.
