The other day a friend
pointed me to a Bible Lesson on page 180 of Mary Baker Eddy’s book Miscellaneous Writings. Here she writes about John 1, verses 12 and
13 which begins (King James Version): “But as many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of God…”
Eddy writes “Here, the
apostle assures us that man has power to become the son of God. In the Hebrew text, the word “son” is defined
variously; a month is called the son of a year.”
Just think about what a month
signifies and the relationship between a month and a year, or the relationship
between each of the months. My friend pointed out that a year is not a full
year if one month is missing.
The Gospel of John is a
treasure trove for hungry seekers.
