A life-changing experience

From The Christian Science Journal - June 30, 2014


As a child, I thought I had a clear understanding of sin. Fighting with my brother, disobeying my parents, and not doing all my household chores topped the list of sins to which I would confess at church every week.. 

By the time I was a young adult, I hungered to know more about God, but felt confused about sin and what bearing, if any, it had on my life. This uncertainty changed dramatically when two things occurred: I began studying the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and I had a life-changing experience in regard to the healing of sin and sickness.

I was in my first year of law school at the time, and awoke one morning feeling very weak. When I finally made it to the bathroom and peered in the mirror, I was frightened by what I saw. My face was swollen beyond recognition.
