You and the Christ

CARL J. WELZ

Do you need to feel loved? Do you need to feel stronger, healthier, more sure of your place in life? If we could understand the Christ, we would see that all these needs are already met. And we can.

The traditional Christian view of Christ as Jesus, when accepted in faith, brings comfort, and sometimes transformation of the soul. It makes us feel good, and if our faith is enough to cause us to surrender ourselves to Christ, it makes us be good. But there is much more to the Christ than this. Christ is the healing and saving Truth of all that is—the true idea of the Principle that forms and governs the universe, including man. Christian Science defines God as this Principle, infinite, divine Love, the ever-present, all-knowing Mind.

If you do not see your needs being met, even though you have looked to Jesus for an answer to your prayer, do not be discouraged. There is more to be learned of the Christ, and with the learning comes understanding—and healing.
