SIMPLICITY AND TRUTH OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

From the November 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My Dear Readers: Do we comprehend these beautiful words of our Master, that ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free? and can we realize what it would be to be made free, and what that Truth is which shall make us free?

"He came unto his own, and his own received Him not." The Jews considered themselves the chosen of God; but when Jesus came, declaring the Truth, and that he came not to do his own will but the will of his Father, he was rejected, reviled, spit upon, and finally crucified, when he was giving his life to save the world from sin and its results, sickness and death. If his teachings had been in the line of their own beliefs he would have escaped persecution; and if they were in the Truth there would have been no need of The teachings and demonstrations of a Jesus to show them the way.

He says, "I am the way; and whosoever tries to climb up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." And there is no other way under heaven by which man can be saved. And these signs shall follow them,—not you, but them, all that believe: they shall heal the sick, cast out devils, drink deadly things and it shall not harm them.
