Life in Christ

Alan A. Aylwin

To a student of Christian Science, life in Christ signifies a practical, usable understanding of the truth that Christ Jesus lived and taught. It is life lived in the understanding that man is inseparable from God, creative Mind. It means a great deal more than mystical communion with the ascended Jesus.

This in no way implies a lack of love and reverence for Jesus of Nazareth. His was the most important career that human history records. Christian Scientists do not worship him, but humbly accept him as their Way-shower. They strive to pattern their lives after his teaching and example.

Jesus' mission was to show mankind the way out of suffering and limitation, to demonstrate the possibilities in store for all who progressively bring their thought and conduct in line with true manhood and its innate perfection. Living thus, we blend in quality with the infinite living good that is God. We ratify our unity with divine Love, with creative intelligence.
