Can We Heal the Sick?

GRANT C. BUTLER

Centuries ago the greatest healer who ever lived, Christ Jesus, told his followers to go into the world and "heal the sick." Luke 10:9; And with Mrs. Eddy's discovery of Christian Science over a hundred years ago, mankind was given further practical proof that Christianity and healing are inseparable. There is no longer reason to doubt that, even today, metaphysical healing can bring out the full power and potential of Christianity.

How does one become a Christian healer? Jesus claimed no healing power of his own. He made it quite clear he could do nothing of himself: "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." John 14:10;

The Master proved the power of love in his healing work. Love was the vital quality in his words, in his life itself. It was his ability to love, to perceive the perfect man of God's creating, that enabled him to restore the sick and sinning. "God is love," I John 4:8; the Bible states. Jesus knew he could never, for an instant, be separated from God, Love, and that neither could those who required healing. "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man," Mrs. Eddy writes, "who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick." Science and Health, pp. 476-477;
