Healing through divine Mind-reading

NATHAN A. TALBOT

Christ Jesus was an extraordinary healer. What gave him this capacity? Many people evade a truly direct answer to such a question by suggesting either that Jesus was God or that God reserved the gift of healing primarily for the Master.

Christ Jesus was not God, but he embodied the Christ, the divine idea of God. He understood more clearly than anyone else ever has that man is the perfect child of God. This glowing realization put his whole life in a context entirely apart from those who assumed that man is the child of a mortal. In the final analysis it was Jesus' recognition of his, and every individual's, unblemished relationship to God that enabled him to heal. But simply to state the truth that Jesus knew God to be perfect and man to be His perfect expression provides only a very broad generalization.

What are some specifics? Christian Science opens up the Bible and shows how it brings to light not only why Jesus was able to overturn disease and sin but also his basis for teaching others this capacity to practice Christian healing. One of the many ways to better understand the activity of the Christ would be to learn more of Jesus' capacity to heal through Mind-reading.
