Healing and Joyousness
A Beautiful verse, the tenth, in the thirty-fifth chapter of Isaiah reads, "And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." "The ransomed of the Lord"—what gladness awaits them as they lose the false sense of affliction! Isaiah's words were prophetic. Students of Christian Science know that the fulfillment of his promise is made possible through the revelation of the truth contained in the teachings of Christ Jesus and Christian Science.
In conformity with the teaching of Jesus, Christian Science is showing mankind how scientifically to lose its sickness and sin; to forsake its loneliness, its sorrow, and its weariness, by making known to them the truths of spiritual being. These truths, long hid "from the wise and prudent," are displacing the erroneous beliefs entertained in human consciousness, which are responsible for all human woe, and are bringing about freedom from every inharmonious condition. Jesus had a profound understanding of God, a profound knowledge of His unlimited love and goodness; and it was this understanding which gave him power over error in all its forms.
It is certain that the Master was not deceived by the sugestions of evil, for he knew evil to be unreal. He declared the devil—evil—to be a liar. His words to the Jews were (John 8:44): "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. ... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." And he demonstrated what he taught. He was tempted as we are by the suggestions of evil, but he yielded not to them. Through Christ, or Truth, he mastered animality; and this overcoming, attained through spirituality, was the secret of his marvelous healing power.
