"We think we are healed when a disease disappears, though it is liable to reappear." "No man is healed in sin, or by it, any more than he is morally saved in sin or by it. To be every whit whole, he must he better spiritually, as well as physically."
Science and Health, pp. 108, 322.
Jesus spoke and acted in the one consciousness, and yet his every word and act was apprehensible to men buried in beliefs of materiality, or his mission would not have been to them. Because he spake and acted in spiritual consciousness, his smallest act or word was representative and universal. He was always type, and therefore represented to each consciousness, an aspect of universal Truth. To each that follows on his footsteps his every act and word is reproduced in realization. This is involved in Jesus the Christ, "the way, the Truth, and the Life." Because he was thus universal and type, what he exhibited to the senses, is to be repeated impersonally, in every individual, and thus in the universal, consciousness.
It is recorded in Luke,
Luke iv. 16-30: Rotherham's literal translation. that Jesus after his baptism and temptation, "came into Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, during the Sabbath day, into the synagogue, and stood up to read."
