"That they might know thee"

ROSALIA SEELAU

Throughout his healing ministry, Jesus gave evidence of the extent of his spirituality and of his great desire that all might spiritualize their thinking. He knew that spiritualized thought finds God, recognizes the Christ, and enters upon life eternal. The Master knew God better than anyone had ever done. The Christ, whom he so fully expressed, he understood to be the true idea of God—God's beloved Son. Thinking of his followers, he said, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

The importance of individual enlightenment should be recognized and pondered. It might, however, be asked how one can experience this bliss of divine knowing. Christian Science, through its teachings, answers this question correctly, for it is the Science of Christ, the exact Science which the Way-shower taught and demonstrated. It is as eternal as God. None wish to deny that, when understood and applied, the unchanging truth, Christ's healing message to humanity, has always set mortals free from the errors of sense—has always proved good to be the reality, and evil the unreality, and has glorified God as the only creator. Then, shall not we seek to understand more of Christ's healing truth, and go forward in true ambition and with high desire?

That the true idea of God should come to the individual consciousness is surely according to God's purpose, for the Bible says, "They shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord." Through Christian Science we learn to know God. This Science brings healing and enlightenment to every seeker for Truth. It is God's "perfect gift," which "cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
