Some day! How often we have used this expression in voicing a fond hope or cherished desire! Some day, when we have worked out our problem, we shall have better health or better business. Some day our spiritual understanding may increase to the point where we shall experience release from the myriad forms of discord that present themselves. Some day the good we see available in another's experience may also be ours.
But should we look for all that is good in a future day? No! And why not? Because now, at this moment, man as the image and likeness of God exists in spiritual perfection. Thus our inheritance from our Father, as His reflection, is the constant availability of spiritual ideas, which, when understandingly utilized, supply our daily needs. Christ Jesus is the authority for this fact. "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him," he compassionately assures us (Matt. 6:8). Jesus' recognition of man's conscious, eternal oneness with the Father enabled him to demonstrate man's inseparability from the goodness of his perfect governing Principle, and thus to prove false the beliefs of lack, sin, sickness, and death.
A significant statement by Mary Baker Eddy succinctly reveals the method of Jesus' healing ministry. On pages 476 and 477 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" she says: "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick."
