Referring to Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 461), "Only by the illumination of the spiritual sense, can the light of understanding be thrown upon this Science, because Science reverses the evidence before the material senses and furnishes the eternal interpretation of God and man."
The student of Christian Science discerns that the key to the healing and regenerating power which Science and Health announces is to be found not in the human mind, not in intellectual appreciation or interpretation, but only in spiritual discernment of the nature of God and man. This discernment is manifested in the reflection in daily life and action of the Mind which was in Christ Jesus.
This Mind or consciousness which is God made the Saviour's mission possible. His mission is clearly discernible in the Bible, particularly in the Gospel narratives, in the epistles of John, the beloved disciple, and also in the book of Revelation.
