Questions Answered

From the June 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896:  Mis. 72:22-75:5, Mis 44:6-45:11


"And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matt. xix. 28). What is meant by regeneration?

It is the reproduction of the phenomena of Spirit in Christian Science, and the divine correspondence of noumenon and phenomenon understood. This new-born sense subdues not only the false sense of generation, but the human will, and the unnatural enmity of mortal man toward God. It quickly imparts a new apprehension of the true basis of Being, and the spiritual foundation for the affections which enthrone the Son of Man in the glory of his Father, and judges, through the stern mandate of Science, all human systems of etiology and teleology.

If God does not recognize matter, how did Jesus, who was the Way, the Truth, and the Life, cognize it?
