Throughout Christian history resurrection has been associated exclusively with Jesus of Nazareth. For nearly two thousand years Christendom has benefited from the Way-shower's resurrection without understanding its full significance. Today Christian Science teaches the true sense of resurrection, whereby all mankind may benefit from understanding the secret of his Christly achievements.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." I Cor. 2:7, 8; Christian Science, or divine Science, speaks the wisdom of God without mystery.
Helping to dispel this mystery is Mrs. Eddy's definition of "resurrection," "spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding." Science and Health, p. 593; Such terms as redemption, resurrection, transfiguration signify what Jesus' followers experience and accomplish through being Christlike.
