The Enduring Word
Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." With every Christian Science treatment these words should be fulfilled, for until the thoughts of a material earth and a material heaven do pass from our consciousness, scientific healing cannot be realized. It is the absolute knowledge of God, without a taint of materiality, that heals; it is dwelling in consciousness "in the secret place of the most High," that reaches out in love toward the needy one and lifts thought into the new heaven and the new earth where spiritual harmony reigns.
Jesus also declared that if he were to be lifted up from the earth, he would draw all men unto him. If his thoughts were lifted so high that only the real universe appeared,—that only one power, the power of God, harmonious and eternal, appeared,—then he would be lifted so far above material belief that he would make his wonderful demonstration over death and the grave; ascend even higher in thought,—to his Father and our Father, to his God and our God,—and through this understanding draw all who followed him in word and in deed up to Christ, Truth, so wonderfully revealed to us in this age through "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
The more we understand God and His idea, the more grateful we are to the dear Leader who went through the Red Sea and the wilderness of mortal beliefs to show us how to be lifted up out of sensuality and sin into "the glorious liberty of the children of God." All of us have the wrestling with the fleshly thought, until we are lifted so far above it that we can truly say with the Master, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." Then follows transformation, through putting off the "old man with his deeds," and his beliefs, and putting on the "new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
