Spirit is radical

NICOLLE G. TORDA

What do we mean by the term "radical"? An extremist agitating to change a political system? In Christian Science the term is often thought of in an entirely different sense. One who realizes the spiritual facts of being and lives in strict accord with them might be called a radical.

Christ Jesus was the world's most radical thinker and teacher. Because he lived in the consciousness of Spirit always, he rejected any material explanation of existence. He was able instantly and unhesitatingly to cast out sin and disease and to raise the dead, illustrating the reign of divine Spirit.

Jesus abolished material laws of health, healing a woman bowed down for eighteen years. He showed that there are no legitimate laws limiting our capacities, that only the laws of Spirit govern man's life, the fruits of which are health and harmony.
