NEVER FAIL TO FACE ERROR

Jesus never failed to face error. He saw the claim of sin, and rebuked it, which unfolded God's redeeming love, His healing presence and power. "He overcame the world, the flesh, and all error, thus proving their nothingness." (S&H 39:4) His prayer was consistent and persistent, he was ever conscious of man's unity with God, and he acknowledged God as the only power and presence." We must have trials and self-denials, as well as joys and victories, until all error is destroyed." (S&H 39:8) As we understand Christian Science, it enables us to look through and beyond the mists of mortal mind and reject the testimony of the physical senses.

"The radiant sun of virtue and truth coexists with being." (S&H 246:11) Christian Science teaches us to see man as God's reflection, the radiance of Spirit, and each individual, in his true selfhood, as abiding now in the sanctuary "of the most High" in the peace and harmony of God's universe of ideas. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Ps 133:3)
