It's interesting to note that some of the largest oil discoveries had been drilled previously. The workers just hadn't drilled deep enough the first time!
This can be a valuable lesson to the student of Christian Science who is seeking healing. We cannot skim along the surface if we wish to demonstrate the spiritual power of Christhealing discovered by Mary Baker Eddy. This method of healing is tapped into only as we dig deep into the spiritual understanding of God and find the spiritual relationship we have with God, as His idea.
Christ Jesus showed what is required for spiritual healing when he said to Nicodemus, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. The Master expected his followers to cultivate the necessary spirituality of thinking and living that redeems and heals. This means gaining a deeper understanding of God and His nature, which is wholly good. Understanding God's nature is essential, because as we learn the true nature of God, we better understand our true nature as His likeness.
