welcome to our Christmas edition of the Unity Weekend Message. Today, we're going to review an address by Charles Fillmore given in 1912 at the Tracy Auditorium. 

"The one aim and object of man's existence is to put on Christ, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." This hasn't always been rightly understood because the true concept of man has not entered into his consciousness.

We have separated Jesus Christ from ourselves and talked about him as a man when he represents the universal principle, the supreme ideal man, which we are all seeking to put on to manifest to be. It is a question of how shall we go about it. We all admit that we would like to be better men, better women, have a higher standard of life in all of its details, but seem to be in darkness as to the method of attaining this.

Now the way is plain and very simple, but it requires some little persistence in following it out, in going that way. And the first step is always to accept that one supreme proposition, that I was, in my original inception, in divine mind, supreme ideal, the very highest that God could imagine was born into me, created in me, and it is my privilege to express it.

Let Christ be formed in you. Now, do you accept that proposition? If you do, you have taken the first step to the forming of Christ. Then the next step is to affirm that all of the Christ attributes Whatever they may be, are now forming themselves in my character. You follow that out day after day, and you put on Christ.

You put on Christ just to the extent that you accept these fundamental propositions and make them yours. So a simple direct demonstration of putting on Christ is to affirm that Christ is now being formed in my consciousness. Praise the Father, the Christ, that God may be formed in you. Say to Him right now, Father, Let thy Christ, thy supreme ideal man, be formed in me.

Let us all join in that prayer.
