Jesus' promise

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!

    “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Christ Jesus

    I love this statement in the Bible. It is so encouraging. It is Jesus’ way of telling us that he is teaching us a divine Principle. It is a science, not a special gift for only a few people. Here, the word “believe” means to understand, and to understand firmly, nothing wavering. The truth that heals is something that anyone can learn and experience. Whenever life seems a little empty, this statement fills it with hope and purpose.

    I am so grateful to Mary Baker Eddy for recognizing this fact, discovering the science Jesus referred to (and practiced), and then giving it so clearly to mankind.

    Thank you for this post: His words are a wonderful promise and a compelling call to action!

    The following on page 196 of Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy speaks to this:
    The sweet, sacred sense and permanence of man’s unity with his Maker, in Science, illumines our present existence with the ever-presence and power of God, good. It opens wide the portals of salvation from sin, sickness, and death. When the Life that is God, good, shall appear, “we shall be like Him;” we shall do the works of Christ, and, in the words of David, “the stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner,” because the “I” does go unto the Father, the ego does arise to spiritual recognition of being, and is exalted, — not through death, but Life, God understood.

    What a blessing Christian Science, this church, and these lessons are. Thank you!
