To me, active support of the Wednesday testimony meetings in Churches of Christ, Scientist, includes a state of alertness.
“Testimony in regard to the healing of the sick is highly important,” writes Mary Baker Eddy in the Church Manual (p. 47). “More than a mere rehearsal of blessings,” she continues, “it scales the pinnacle of praise and illustrates the demonstration of Christ, ‘who healeth all thy diseases’ (Psalm 103:3).” When I strive to stay spiritually focused throughout each Wednesday—and reject temptations not to support or attend this vital, inspiring midweek meeting—I’m actively making myself ready to share in the good news of healing.
Our willingness to give unselfishly brings healing and light to others and ourselves.
