Christian Science is what's coming, not what's going

From the September 1987 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In our family there is a story of a favorite great aunt's singular comment about an acquaintance in a hurry: "She was going just as fast as she could come." And sometimes you hear the comment about someone who was confused: "He didn't know whether he was coming or going."

It's useful to know the difference!

From the beginning, mortal mind has forecast the demise of Christian Science. Even at the outset the prediction was made that Christian Science was "going." But clearly the truth was then, in terms of human experience, that the Science of Christ was "coming." It is still the truth. However, we need the same spiritual discernment now as people did then, to perceive God's purpose appearing in the midst of the carnal mind's deception and darkness.
