The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Thank you, Jeremy. This is a major step in our spiritual growth, — to appreciate that the power behind the works that Jesus is referring to is divine Mind, not a human being. Jesus didn’t do the healing, and neither can we! Jesus saw clearly the perfection of God’s creation. The healings followed as a result of his refusal to accept any false beliefs about God’s creation, and that is all that we can (and must) do. This is why humility is essential to follow in his footsteps. If I think that I have any power other than God, then I am on the wrong foot to begin with and will accomplish nothing. When I realize that God is the only power, and that power is my life, and I have nothing without the power of God, then I am able to see Him in control and my consciousness becomes more clear. Jesus refused to accept anything other than the perfection of God’s creation, and those who were receptive to that truth were healed. This shows the power of Truth to correct all errors.
Our job is to have this line of demarcation in our own consciousness, and not let anything cross it. I am so grateful to be catching a glimpse of this powerful truth.
