THE APPROACH THAT HEALS

From the March 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


AT times everyone finds himself confronted with evil and realizes that he must overcome it. Christian Science provides a healing approach in every situation, great or small, universal or individual. Because this Science is strictly Christian, its approach is tenderly compassionate. Because it is strictly scientific, its approach is exact and orderly. The concern of the Christian Scientist, like that of the Master, Christ Jesus, is to heal what needs to be healed. This calls for the awakening of the individual to the presence of the kingdom of God. Jesus defined his purpose and the means of accomplishing it when he said (Matt. 12:28), "If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you."

Anyone who has caught a glimpse of God's kingdom, when Science has parted the obscuring mist of the material sense of life, knows that heaven is as tangible to spiritual sense as matter is to the physical senses. It is this tangible evidence of the real universe, a realm of light and peace and joy, so near at hand, that convinces the Scientist of the existence of eternal harmony.

Before this evidence, sin and sickness— the "devils" of Jesus' remark—lose their claim to existence and fade from thought. Then the victim of evil is mercifully healed.
