Many people devote time and attention to maintaining physical health. Yet despite these efforts, individuals often find themselves still saddled with health problems, sometimes the very problems they were deliberately trying to prevent. And many seek healing that continues to be elusive.
To be able to maintain health in the body is a natural desire that we all have. Mary Baker Eddy had the same desire, as she sought release from many years of ill health. She felt there must be a remedy for all physical suffering, and she wanted to find this remedy, not only for herself, but for the sake of all humanity as well. She searched in many directions for an answer, but her search kept coming back to the Bible, particularly Christ Jesus’ teachings and healings.
Jesus certainly knew how to govern the body. The Bible says he healed “all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people” (Matthew 4:23).
