The heart grown weary of its search for health or happiness often turns at last to God for an understanding of His will. This turning from matter to Spirit, God, is the working of the divine influence, which causes human consciousness to accept the rule of healing that the Apostle Paul practiced and left for us (Phil. 2:5): "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
Jesus knew that God, the Father of man, is Love. Infinite Love can do no less than bless its offspring infinitely. And how can the offspring receive the infinitude of Love's blessing unless it is created in Love's own image? Jesus beheld the eternal order of being, in which man coexists with God and expresses the sum of God's goodness forever.
Because the Master knew that man is always being blessed by almighty Love in keeping with Love's law, the powerlessness of evil was obvious to him. This true knowledge was made visible to human comprehension as Jesus' dominion over sickness, sin, want, and death. Those who turned to him for help found that this Christly understanding of man as God created him—Godlike, spiritual, and free—dispelled the mental delusions of mortality which they had come to regard as stubborn physical conditions. Jesus demonstrated for all time that the Christ, Truth, is always present to destroy mental misconceptions and reveal man's immortal substance.
