The ceaseless activity of Christ

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
– Romans 16:24

The advent of Jesus of Nazareth marked the first century of the Christian era, but the Christ is without beginning of years or end of days. Throughout all generations both before and after the Christian era, the Christ, as the spiritual idea, – the reflection of God, – has come with some measure of power and grace to all prepared to receive Christ, Truth.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 333

Christ comes, with succor speedy,
     To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
     And bid the weak be strong;
Christ comes to break oppression,
     To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
     And rule in equity.
