Christian Science one becomes conscious of "the new man," or the truth about man, in proportion as "the old man" with his deeds is "put off," as false sense is put out of consciousness.
THE
Master of Christianity, on an occasion of a successful demonstration of Truth's power over error, said to his disciples: "Rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven;" meaning undoubtedly that whatever of joy may be afforded the disciple of Truth through any triumph, should rest upon the eternal Science of being which has brought about the result.
Until
such time as humanity understands more of the eternality of Truth, Life, and Love, its belief in a "future" had best be utilized for the expectation of good, rather than spent in dread of what that unknown future may bring and take away.
When
mankind realizes that all its needs are primarily mental, it will no longer offer any opposition to the metaphysical teaching of Christian Science.
While healing is not by any means the main purpose of Christian Science, it is demonstrating that it is possible to heal the sick today in the same manner as the sick were healed by Jesus and his immediate followers.
