Seeing ‘the perfect man’

Paige Pearson

Working with children who have been labelled as having special needs has allowed me to apply Christian Science to my daily life. I have learned to expect that barriers can be broken and to practice patience while working to see beyond physical limitations. 

In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes: “Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick” (pp. 476–477). This lesson of beholding the perfect man has guided me through my life, especially through times where circumstances have seemed overwhelming.
