"The two largest words in the vocabulary of thought are 'Christian' and 'Science.' The former is the highest style of man; the latter reveals and interprets God and man; it aggregates, amplifies, unfolds, and expresses the All-God." Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, gives us the above thought-provoking statement on page 10 of "No and Yes."
The Bible tells us that those persons who believed in and expounded the doctrines taught by Christ Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch. What were the virtues and teachings of the Master which made his followers, both in Biblical times and today, proud to be called Christians?
First of all Jesus recognized his oneness, or unity, with the Father. He said (John 10:30). "I and my Father are one." Christian Science reveals that he did not mean to imply that he was God but that his relationship to the Father was like that of a ray of light to the sun. For his teaching and demonstration of man's inseparability from God his followers owe him continuous homage.
