What Do You Mean: "There is no problem"?

ROBERT W. JEFFERY

Those who haven't had the opportunity to experience personally the revelation of the Christ as divine Truth expressed on the human scene are sometimes startled at a Christian Scientist's statement such as, "There's no sickness, no evil, no discord of any kind." Bold? Yes. Revolutionary? Yes. Impractical or beyond demonstration by everyone? No.

A few years ago while reading the newspaper one Sunday afternoon, I suddenly had an overwhelming sense of nausea and dizziness. Recognizing the symptoms of the flu, I thought, upon first impulse, that I should go to bed. But then fortunately at this point I decided to hold to the Christ, the spiritual idea of man's perfect sonship in God. This helped to dispel the fuzzy notion that a period of unconsciousness would help.

Then this thought came as clearly as a thunderclap: "Well, is there a problem, or isn't there?" The reply was equally clear: "Of course there is no problem! This is God's kingdom, and I reflect Him and nothing but Him. He is good and all-powerful, and no evil suggestion can separate me from Him."
