LESSON 10: Transcendence of the Religion of Jesus

“The religion of Jesus transcends all our former concepts of the idea of worship in that he not
only portrays his Father as the ideal of infinite reality but positively declares that this divine
source of values and the eternal center of the universe is truly and personally attainable by every
mortal creature who chooses to enter the kingdom of heaven on earth, thereby acknowledging
the acceptance of sonship with God and brotherhood with man. That, I submit, is the highest
concept of religion the world has ever known, and I pronounce that there can never be a higher
since this gospel embraces the infinity of realities, the divinity of values, and the eternity of
universal attainments. Such a concept constitutes the achievement of the experience of the
idealism of the supreme and the ultimate.” (1781.3) 160:5.7
