"Truth - Healing"


“The Spiritual elevator of the human race, physically, morally, and Christianly, is the truism that Truth demonstrates good, and is natural; while error, or evil, is really non-existent, and must have produced its own illusion, -for it belongs not to nature nor to God.  Truth is the power of God which heals the sick and the sinner, and is applicable to all the needs of man.  It is the universal, intelligent Christ-idea illustrated by the life of Jesus, through whose ‘stripes we are healed.’ By conflicts, defeats, and triumphs, Christian Science has been reduced to the understanding of mortals, and found able to heal them”  Miscellaneous Writings. 259

The word natural associated with Truth is refreshing, inspiring and comforting.  To often in our day-to-day activites and conversation, the suggestion that Truth is something other than the right way or natural way tempts us to move in a direction opposite of our spritiual good and growth.  Rather than accept any belief contrary to Truth, as I align my thought wtih this truism, I am rewarded with clear and uplifted thought in living my day.

Weekly Bible Lesson, mybiblelesson.com, God the Preserver of Man


“Shook off  the dust
of their feet” comes from Jesus’ advice to his disciples when he sent them out to heal (see Luke 9:5). He said that if they encountered opposition and felt unwelcome anywhere, they should
simply shake the dust off their feet and leave. So that’s what Paul and Barnabus did when they left Antioch— and immediately started healing in Iconium, which was a political and economic hub in south-central Turkey.”
