Finding answers to our most searching questions

ELAINE H. NATALE

One helpful view of the Bible is to see it as the record of mankind's search for a deeper understanding of God. In this context, it's a book of provocative questions, as well as a book of unparalleled answers to the enigmas of human experience. It contains the Word of God. And a strong spiritual inquisitiveness is necessary to understand the Bible's healing message of truth.

A search of any depth must involve questioning. "What is God?" is the question ringing through the centuries. Christian Scientists hold Christ Jesus to be the clearest demonstrator of the answer to that question. Because his life shows forth so transparently God's nature, we refer to Christ Jesus as the Way-shower.

The absolute nature of divine Love, Life, and Truth was crystal-clear to Jesus. His deep and unparalleled grasp of God's goodness and omnipotence and his conscious oneness with God as His Son enabled him to heal sin and sickness of every description. His spiritual faith and understanding were utterly unshakable, unquestionably established, enabling him to overcome death itself.
