At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus’ birth because of this amazing truth: The Christ, which Jesus embodied, is the healing and saving power of God. And as Jesus himself taught, this power is unlimited by time or space, so Christ’s appearance isn’t confined to just one period in history. It is available anywhere, anytime, to anyone willing to seek it with an honest, humble heart. 

In the December issue of The Christian Science Journal, you’ll hear from writers who have experienced the healing influence of the Christ in our own time through their study of Christian Science. In their articles and testimonies, they share what they’ve learned from practicing the method of healing Christ Jesus taught, and how that has transformed their experience.

The lead feature by Ingrid Peschke, “The light of the Christ can’t be hidden,” shows how love triumphs over the enmity that has followed the appearance of Christ down through the ages, and what we can do to cherish and protect the babe of Christian healing. In “Wealth gap, or God’s perfect provision?” Neera Kapur talks about proving the impartiality of God’s love in meeting human needs. Elaina Simpson’s “What it means to be good” shares what she learned about the true nature of God’s creatures from training her puppy. Keith Collins observes in “Seeking ‘a better country’ ” that we’re all refugees in search of our real, spiritual home, and he explains what it takes to get there. And the editorial by Barbara Vining reminds us that “the biggest gift,” the gift of divine Love, can’t be wrapped in a package. It’s there for everyone, every day of the year. 

Happy holidays, and happy reading!
