[Ability to demonstrate Christian Science comes with study and practice of the truth taught by Christ Jesus and revealed in Science and Health. This series touches upon some ways in which this truth can be applied.]

Healing through acknowledging Christ Jesus' place and mission

When one is sick, his suffering is as real to him as his belief in the material sense of life. When he recognizes the true idea of Life, the material belief is broken, and healing follows.

God is Life, and Christ is the true idea of God. Christ Jesus' virgin birth, his healing works, his own resurrection after being crucified and entombed, and his ascension tell us, as no event in history tells us, of the divine Life which is infinite Spirit. Spirit, not matter, governs the universe including man. Jesus' teachings, furthermore, tell us that Spirit, God, is divine Love. Love is the Father of all. We are His children.

Jesus showed us how to live as God's children. He is our Exemplar and our Way-shower. When we acknowledge his place and mission, we lose our belief in matter and recognize the possibility of the Christ-healing here and now.
