1. 1God’s gifts can rarely be received directly. 2Even the most advanced of God’s teachers will give way to temptation in this world. 3Would it be fair if their pupils were denied healing because of this? 4The Bible says, “Ask in the name of Jesus Christ.” 5Is this merely an appeal to magic? 6A name does not heal, nor does an invocation call forth any special power. 7What does it mean to call on Jesus Christ? 8What does calling on his name confer? 9Why is the appeal to him part of healing?

2. 1We have repeatedly said that one who has perfectly accepted the Atonement for himself can heal the world. 2Indeed, he has already done so. 3Temptation may recur to others, but never to this One. 4He has become the risen Son of God. 5He has overcome death because he has accepted life. 6He has recognized himself as God created him, and in so doing he has recognized all living things as part of him. 7There is now no limit on his power, because it is the power of God. 8So has his name become the Name of God, for he no longer sees himself as separate from Him.

3. 1What does this mean for you? 2It means that in remembering Jesus you are remembering God. 3The whole relationship of the Son to the Father lies in him. 4His part in the Sonship is also yours, and his completed learning guarantees your own success. 5Is he still available for help? 6What did he say about this? 7Remember his promises, and ask yourself honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep them. 8Can God fail His Son? 9And can one who is one with God be unlike Him? 10Who transcends the body has transcended limitation. 11Would the greatest teacher be unavailable to those who follow him?

4. 1The name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol. 2But it stands for love that is not of this world. 3It is a symbol that is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to which you pray. 4It becomes the shining symbol for the Word of God, so close to what it stands for that the little space between the two is lost, the moment that the name is called to mind. 5Remembering the name of Jesus Christ is to give thanks for all the gifts that God has given you. 6And gratitude to God becomes the way in which He is remembered, for love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind. 7God enters easily, for these are the true conditions for your homecoming.

5. 1Jesus has led the way. 2Why would you not be grateful to him? 3He has asked for love, but only that he might give it to you. 4You do not love yourself. 5But in his eyes your loveliness is so complete and flawless that he sees in it an image of his Father. 6You become the symbol of his Father here on earth. 7To you he looks for hope, because in you he sees no limit and no stain to mar your beautiful perfection. 8In his eyes Christ’s vision shines in perfect constancy. 9He has remained with you. 10Would you not learn the lesson of salvation through his learning? 11Why would you choose to start again, when he has made the journey for you?

6. 1No one on earth can grasp what Heaven is, or what its one Creator really means. 2Yet we have witnesses. 3It is to them that wisdom should appeal. 4There have been those whose learning far exceeds what we can learn. 5Nor would we teach the limitations we have laid on us. 6No one who has become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. 7Yet what he can offer them is limited by what he learns himself. 8Then turn to one who laid all limits by, and went beyond the farthest reach of learning. 9He will take you with him, for he did not go alone. 10And you were with him then, as you are now.

7. 1This course has come from him because his words have reached you in a language you can love and understand. 2Are other teachers possible, to lead the way to those who speak in different tongues and appeal to different symbols? 3Certainly there are. 4Would God leave anyone without a very present help in time of trouble; a savior who can symbolize Himself? 5Yet do we need a many-faceted curriculum, not because of content differences, but because symbols must shift and change to suit the need. 6Jesus has come to answer yours. 7In him you find God’s Answer. 8Do you, then, teach with him, for he is with you; he is always here.
