Divine Science, the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus, has come to this age revealing the truth of being—illustrating with concrete evidence that God is supreme good; that man expresses God's perfection. This reality, advanced by the Christ and loved by the individual, transforms consciousness. God's message of perfection lifts us above the sea of mortality.
But certain attitudes would, if they could, interfere with the message of the Comforter. One is a particular view toward material medicine. Outsiders sometimes view the primary purpose of Christian Science as encouraging the avoidance of medicine. When confronted with illness, have we ever, in actual practice, let Science mean something so simplistic as this to us?
The Comforter has come to nourish us with the truths of reality. As we drink in these truths, they become our medicine, constituting a thorough and effective method of healing. Spiritual truths do remove the symptoms of discord; but they also initiate a fundamental transformation of consciousness. Those truths Christianize our lives.
