Testimony of Healing April 3, 2017 Issue

Joy dissolves cold symptoms

Elisabeth Schwartz

One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned as a student of Christian Science is that God made us very different from the way we may see ourselves. Right where there seems to be a struggling or sick human being, there is, in reality, God’s perfect child—His perfect spiritual reflection—now and always. 

Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “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). It’s natural that when we, too, see with this same spiritual vision, healing is the result.

A number of years ago, I had been struggling for a couple of days with symptoms of a bad cold. I’d stayed home from work on Tuesday and Wednesday and spent the time praying, reading articles and testimonies from the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal, and studying passages in the Bible and Science and Health and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy.
