If there is any one lesson that the world should learn from the life and works of Christ Jesus, it should be that of God's universal control. Wherever he was, whatever condition confronted him, the Master was ready to prove the supreme control of the Father. Every healing he performed illustrated that control, every instance of his dominion over material limitations confirmed it. He said (John 10:29), "My Father ... is greater than all."
It is scientific logic that the greater controls the lesser, and our Exemplar never lost sight of that logic. He gave scientific proof that this kind of logic is effective when understood. Mary Baker Eddy, speaking of what Jesus would do if he were present, says (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 294), "He would mightily rebuke a single doubt of the ever-present power of divine Spirit to control all the conditions of man and the universe."
If God does not seem to be in control, it is because dull humanity is asleep to the actual order of existence, unaware of the nearness of God and His power. Jesus was always awake to true being. He was clearly conscious of God and His control. He possessed the pure spirituality that can penetrate the obscuring fog of materialism and perceive what is going on in Science: the one divine Being governing its own creation.
