Christ Jesus’ ministry started with only a few disciples, but this work brought about profound healing. Centuries after, creed and dogma seemed to hide Christian healing, but Christ’s teachings were not forever silenced.
Today, modern Christians of the Church of Christ, Scientist, are continuing the healing practice of the early disciples. The many volumes of the Christian Science Sentinel and Journal catalog well over a hundred years of present-day Christian healings. The Leader of this Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy, devoted her life to showing all mankind how to learn and practice Christ’s healing method. In the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mrs. Eddy writes: “In our age Christianity is again demonstrating the power of divine Principle, as it did over nineteen hundred years ago, by healing the sick and triumphing over death” (p. 232).
The number of people who love Jesus’ mission and teachings is not important. To be part of this healing movement is a great privilege. I love the fact that it did not take thousands of followers for Christ Jesus’ teachings to take root. Instead, it took great dedication.
