UNSELFED LOVE, THE PROOF OF DISCIPLESHIP

From the September 1958 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Students of Christian Science, like all Christians, love and revere Christ Jesus. They honor him as the great Metaphysician, Teacher, Way-shower, and Exemplar, and they strive to follow him in his ministry of love.

To be followers of the Master demands willing and humble self-discipline. It requires that we show forth the healing power of the Christ through our exemplification of the Master's words and works, through presenting our bodies free of sickness, our lives free of sin, and our love of our brother pure and selfless.

In tender love and goodness, the Master's affections flowed out to all. So must ours if we would follow him in practical proof of our discipleship. In his own life and for others Jesus proved the power of God and of His Christ. He rebuked and destroyed error and brought healing and blessing wherever he went. Surely he expected us to do the same, for he left the command to all his followers to heal the sick and cast out devils.
