Given thee from above

When Jesus was being taunted by Pilate’s remarks claiming he had the power to crucify or to release him, his reply was vehement, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” And even though it seemed for a short time Pilate had exercised this imaginary power - Jesus proved it all to be totally false! Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health, “Those who slew him to stay his influence perpetuated and extended it…” How often does error tempt us to give a power to something or someone which has no power over us at all!? It is then well to remember Mrs. Eddy’s statement, “”Error comes to you for life, and YOU give it all the life it has.”
