The resurrection symbolizes to Christian Scientists the overcoming of the belief in materiality through the understanding that the spiritual is the only real.
Christian Science teaches that Jesus, through his death, resurrection, and ascension, demonstrated certain facts concerning the Science of being which are necessary to be understood in order that mortals may follow the Scriptural injunction, "Work out your own salvation;" and the plan of salvation involves—first, repentance, that is, the recognition that sin is wrong; second, the absolute abandonment of that which is discovered to be wrong, in order that sin may be eliminated from the life of the individual and he may attain to spiritual and Christlike manhood.

About seven years ago my little boy, then nearly three years old, was terribly reduced in flesh, as he had suffered all of his life from stomach trouble.
Hoping that this testimony will be a help to others who suffer as I did, I wish to tell in a few words what Christian Science has done for me, although it seems impossible for me to express my gratitude to God, and to Mrs.
