Christian Science is a restatement of Jesus' teachings in terms of an exact, demonstrable Science. It is so simple that little children can understand and prove it, and yet so profound that human thought never fully penetrates its depths. This practical religion meets all our present needs, reveals the spiritual fact about every human situation in which we may be involved, and provides definite rules for expressing more and more of our real selfhood until the human shall have been put off for the divine.
Spiritually-minded men and women have always been supported by their faith in a power above the limitations of material sense, but until Mary Baker Eddy's great discovery, Christians had come either to consider the practical demonstration of spiritual power as the attainment of a bygone age or to explain the Bible miracles by explaining them away. Christian Science reveals the eternality of God's power, its naturalness and present availability in all phases of human experience. God is the only creator, and creation is, and must forever be, as perfect as the Mind that conceives it.
Evil is a lie, and its only claim to existence is in self-deceived mortal thought. Denial of evil and acknowledgement of the omnipotence and all-inclusiveness of God bring the manifestation of good into present human experience. And so, considered in the light of Christian Science, the Biblical accounts of the operation of divine power in human affairs cease to seem like marvelous infractions of law and become, instead, models for present-day emulation.
