It is often remarked by the Christians of to-day, that healing is not necessarily a part of Christianity at the present time— that healing was only for Jesus and his time. Since I have taken up the study of Christian Science, I cannot see how Christianity and healing can be separated, if we can take the definition of the word Christian from the Bible Dictionary—as our authority—which is as follows: "Christian,—Follower of the highest and best known divine laws as taught by Jesus Christ."
To be followers we would necessarily have to be doers of the law that he taught and demonstrated; for Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
We know that his work was to fulfil the law of God, which he proved was the only law— and a law that is no respecter of persons. It is a law that cannot be changed by any human reasoning, but is eternally the same, and this law includes healing the sick and the sinful.
