We read in the Bible that Jesus healed “all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people” (Matthew 4:23). The world accepts the suggestion that men and women are complicated material assemblies subject to random intrusions of hostile elements and internal malfunctions that can cause pain and suffering. But by revealing the spiritual truth of man that Jesus taught and demonstrated, Christian Science shows how to claim our exemption from such injustice.
In the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy explains: “Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick” (pp. 476–477).
Let me share how I claimed my exemption from suffering one night a few years ago.
