The Sign of Immanuel

Naomi Price

How can we know when the Messiah, or Christ, has come? The Bible promises we will see signs that are undoubted proof of God's presence—signs of healing.

Christ is the true idea of God, and Jesus typified this perfect spiritual idea on earth. The Master not only spoke of the divine nature of the creator of the universe, who made man in His image, but he lived in accord with it. Through his sinless, gracious, loving nature he represented on earth God's ideal reflection as fully as any human being can. He set an example for mankind and promised that if others followed him they would overcome, as he did, the limitations and discords of the world. They would be able to prove the presence of harmony and well-being for others as well as for themselves.

Jesus' whole life was a sign of Immanuel, "God with us"; and so may ours be if we follow his example. A natural outcome of such proof as he gave of the presence of God is, in all ages, healing —healing of character faults, mental and physical discords, lack, and despair. Any condition other than that produced by God, good, is destroyed when the divine nature is recognized as present. When evil is dissolved through the Christly consciousness and expression of divine Life and Love, the power of eternal Principle to correct mortal injustice and lawlessness is proved supreme.
