The life-saving presence of Christ

The divine power that heals life-threatening diseases

By Nathan A. Talbot

I once spoke with a medical researcher at a prestigious university. He was recounting his efforts to find a cure for cancer. As he described details of the disease, I couldn't help thinking of Mary Baker Eddy's insight that Life is not an event in matter; it is invulnerable, spiritual, and eternal. Mrs. Eddy is the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. She writes: "Life is never for a moment extinct. Therefore it is never structural nor organic, and is never absorbed nor limited by its own formations" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 309).

If you were suffering and had lived in Jesus' time, wouldn't you have reached out to Christ for healing? You still can. The Christ is still just as real, just as powerful, just as able to heal now as when Jesus was here.
