Be a disciple! Learn to demonstrate the healing power of Truth!!
July 20, 2009The disciples of Jesus were students of Truth. The word disciple comes from two Latin words, discipulus which means pupil and discere which means to learn. (American Heritage Dictionary) Jesus taught the disciples the truth of being through his spoken words many of which are recorded in the Bible and also by showing the disciples how an understanding and application of Truth brings healing. The disciples of Jesus learned to be healers themselves. They were regular people just like you are. They didnt have any supernatural powers, but they did have a sincere desire to understand what was true about God and man. Once they understood what was true, they were very naturally able to be Christian healers by being a witness to the reality of this Truth in their lives and in the lives of others. Would you like to understand what is true about God and man and learn to be a healer? Mary Baker Eddy is convinced that you can do this. She says, It is possible, yea, it is the duty and privilege of every child, man, and woman, to follow in some degree the example of the Master by the demonstration of Truth and Life, of health and holiness. (Science and Health, 37:22) As you study the Lesson, pay particular attention to the Bible passages that mention Peter. Peter was an excellent student and a successful Christian healer. His example will encourage you and guide you as you learn about the Truth and about how to become a Christian healer yourself.
