THE REDEMPTIVE FRUITS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

From the September 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


God's spiritual and indestructible creation has no need of redemption. But the human race requires to be lifted above the agelong superstition of life and intelligence in matter to the recognition of the one perfect and infinite Mind—that Mind "which was also in Christ Jesus"—that Mind through which he dealt a deathblow to tyrannical material beliefs.

Through the ceaselessly active leaven of Christ, Truth, strikingly brought into evidence by Christ Jesus, human consciousness has been prepared to receive more spiritual light, more of the revelation of divine Love. Christian Science could not have come to the consciousness of Mary Baker Eddy, and through her to humanity, unless the way had been prepared for it. Nor could this Science have failed to appear as the final sequel to the Master's teachings.

Christ Jesus gave to his contemporaries all that they were capable of grasping of divine Truth. In this he showed his wisdom as a teacher. And in his prophecy of the coming of the Holy Ghost, or Christian Science, he showed the scope of his spiritual vision. Hence his well-known utterance, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
