In the spiritual universe of God’s creating, the law of divine Love governs all. Because God is infinite and fills all space, there is no place for anything to exist outside of God’s authority. His entire creation, including each one of us, is held within divine Love’s jurisdiction, where all operates in perfect harmony.
This law of Love was the basis of Christ Jesus’ healing ministry. Through his understanding of God’s omnipotence, he fed the hungry, redeemed the wayward, restored the sick. Jesus did not manipulate the physical body or material conditions to bring about harmony. Instead, he turned humbly and expectantly to God, the source of all good, to correct whatever was wrong. Jesus honored the law of Love in all that he said and did, and he expected to witness the operation of this law.
Mary Baker Eddy, a lifelong student of the Bible and especially of Jesus’ teachings, states in her book No and Yes, “God’s law is in three words, ‘I am All;’ and this perfect law is ever present to rebuke any claim of another law” (p. 30).
