The Healing Touch of the Christ

FLINT LEWIS TOWNSEND

Christ Jesus, the great Metaphysician, and our Way-shower to eternal Life, proved that the healing touch of the Christ, Truth, is here, practical and always available. The Bible shows that those who humbly and trustingly turn to the Christ, God's true idea, find protection, supply, guidance, and freedom.

Jesus expressed this immortal idea of God, Spirit, and proved through his works the power of divine Mind to heal the ills of the flesh. The Bible tells us, "His fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."^{Matt. 4:24;}

How can we gain and use this healing and saving Christ, Truth? Christian Science explains that as one learns to see each individual as the spiritual, whole, spotless, and eternal idea of Spirit, Love, he is expressing the Christ. He is seeing man as the true reflection of Soul, Spirit, the immortal son of the heavenly Father. Such spiritual realization enables one to reject the mortal mind suggestions of fear, ignorance, sin, or pain as any part of one's spiritual being. As a result one's consciousness is being spiritualized; he accepts into his experience a higher sense of purity, wisdom, health, and mercy and a more active love for God and His perfect expression, man.
