Laying On of Hands

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!

    This week’s lesson contains several wonderful scriptures referring to the hand of God.

    Throughout the Bible, any scripture that speaks of the hand of God is making note of God’s omnipotence and omni-activity. In watching and praying over any need, individual or collective, it is essential that I understand my way into the knowing place that I am graven on the palms of God’s hands (Isaiah 49:16). This means abiding the knowing place that I am at one with the Principle of the universe that creates worlds. And this was the main point of Jesus’ prayer at the Last Supper: that each of his disciples be one with the Father just as he was one with the Father — which he prayed out loud in the presence of his disciples, for their sake, to make sure that they heard it. (John 17:21.)

    “They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” — this was the very last sentence that Jesus spoke to his disciples before ascending into heaven to be seated at “the right hand of Power”. While watching and praying in the knowing state of being engraved on the palms of God’s hands, of being firmly, securely, and steadfastly bound to Him, identified with Him, I am, in effect, resting God’s right hand of Power — not my hands or my power — upon the person, place, or thing that I am treating. (Mark 16:18, Mark 14:62, Matt. 26:64.)

    “When I have most clearly seen and most sensibly felt that the infinite recognizes no disease, this has not separated me from God, but has so bound me to Him as to enable me instantaneously to heal a cancer which had eaten its way to the jugular vein.” (Un. 7:6.)
