Christian Scientists do not claim to have any miraculous or supernatural power. They know that in every case of healing it is God "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;" and they know also that when they understand and obey His law as Christ Jesus did, they will have no failures. On page 271 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes, "In Latin the word rendered disciple signifies student; and the word indicates that the power of healing was not a supernatural gift to those learners, but the result of their cultivated spiritual understanding of the divine Science which their Master demonstrated by healing the sick and sinning. Hence the universal application of his staying: 'Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me [understand me] through their word.'"
