MANY sincere and honest people who read and love the Bible are not entirely clear as to the distinction between Jesus and Christ. Not a few individuals look for another appearance of the personal Jesus, and speak of this appearing as "the second coming of Christ." Frequently, religiously-minded persons speak of the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension of Christ.
Christian Science makes it clear to all that Jesus, Mary's son, and not Christ, the divine idea of God, endured the experience of the cross, overcame death for himself, and later, ascended.
In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the author, Mary Baker Eddy, has included a unique chapter entitled "Glossary," wherein is found the spiritual and scientific definition of many words, as well as much practical instruction relative to terms and names found in the Holy Scriptures. Any sincere student who will study the definitions of "Christ" and "Jesus," as given in this chapter, will soon ascertain the distinction between Jesus and Christ, which this Science reveals.
