The world needs the discipleship of a practical Christianity which heals disease and overcomes sin. Christian Science supplies it.
Being a disciple of Christ Jesus is being his faithful follower. In order to follow him better we need a better understanding of his teachings.

It was the Christ, the true idea of God, that enabled Jesus to prove null and void the so-called laws of negative, mortal mind and matter and to demonstrate the supremacy of God's spiritual law, which heals every ill of the flesh. It is the Christ, God's true idea, that enables us to be present-day disciples.
