Perfect Health God's Will
Is sickness God's will? How could it be, since God is unchanging Love—Father-Mother—who provides every good gift for His children, including perfect, constant health?
We learn in Christian Science that health is not material but the ever-unfolding consciousness of well-being as an expression of unchanging Love, God. Therefore it is always sound, good, and eternal.
Before finding Christian Science, I often wondered why Jesus healed the sick if it was God's will for man to be sick. Certainly the great Way-shower, our perfect example, would not have done anything contrary to divine Principle, Love. Also he never used material medicine. Why did Jesus say in the Sermon on the Mount, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect"? Matt. 5:48: He most assuredly would not have demanded the impossible. Yet mortals seem anything but perfect. When one learns that the so-called mortal selfhood, the creature doomed to dust, is not his identity or anyone else's, he is ready to see the spiritual man, made in God's image and likeness.
