Spiritual healing is seen in the spontaneity and power of Christ Jesus' ministry among men. His healing works demonstrated the loftiness of his teachings, and Christian Science explains the basis of both with irrefutable clarity. It declares that since God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, the time for purely spiritual healing is now, just as it was in Jesus' day.
Unwearied in her search for the secret of healing such as the Master accomplished, and the laws underlying it, Mary Baker Eddy found it through her inspired and exclusive study of the Bible, carried on unremittingly for three years after she herself had experienced spiritual healing. When she had demonstrated the truth of her discovery by numerous cases of healing, many of them instantaneous, she published the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and for over sixty years this book has been bringing spiritual illumination and healing within the range of all seekers.
Of the genuine Christian Scientist our Leader says (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 12), "Above all, he keeps unbroken the Ten Commandments, and practises Christ's Sermon on the Mount." What a practice! Are we all familiar with this Sermon, running through three chapters of Matthew's Gospel? Does its heavenly spirit permeate our consciousness? When this is so, nothing will veil our understanding of the presence and power of divine Love or limit its healing evidence in our midst.
