I think this is why Mrs. Eddy asks the question, “Why are the words of Jesus more frequently cited for our instruction than are his remarkable works? Is it not because there are few who have gained a true knowledge of the great import to Christianity of those works?”

Every one of his works illustrated divine Principle, or law. So many then, and even today, regard his works as “miracles” that are beyond most of us, and therefore do not contain a useful lesson for us. However, thanks to Mrs. Eddy, we can see that these miracles illustrate divine Principle, and, as she did, if we strive to put into practice the Science of Christianity, we, too, can experience healing and progress in every way.

The drug industry sees disease as physical, and tries to cure matter with matter. Jesus understood disease to be a product of wrong human thinking (“mortal” or “carnal” mind) and taught us that God alone (divine Mind) corrects that wrong thinking, and thus destroys disease. The drug industry is aggressive, but its premise is wrong, so it can only disappoint. And that disappointment can only serve to turn us to God – the mind of Christ (Mind).
