RECEPTIVITY

GORDON V. COMER

The student of Christian Science recognizes his need for greater receptivity to the Christ, Truth. He sees that as he actually accepts the Christ as his own true nature and being, he embraces reality, and step by step all that is unreal will cease to influence him. When error is deprived of its false claim to place, power, or influence, it can no longer manifest itself either as a bodily condition, or as any other material thing or experience.

When two blind men asked Jesus to have mercy and to heal them, he asked if they believed that he was able to do the work. After they had said they believed, they were healed, and Jesus said that it was their faith which had made them whole (see Matt. 9:27-30).

In this experience is it not evident that their thoughts were opened to the power and presence of the Christ, which dispels the darkness of error? Jesus recognized this truth; and as the blind men responded, they saw for themselves the power of the Word made manifest in their healing.
