I shall be glad if you will allow me to point out that Christian Science teaching distinguishes between Jesus of Nazareth and Christ. The Christ is the divine title of Jesus. The son of the Virgin-mother manifested the power of Christ, Truth, in his ministry. He called God his Father. Christian Science teaches that man is not cause, but effect, the reflection of infinite divine Love, God. On page 333 of "Science and HEalth with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes, "Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets caught glorious glimpses of the Messiah, or Christ, which baptized these seers in the divine nature, the essence of Love."

Christian Science teaches that each individual must work out his own salvation in the way Christ Jesus showed.
