Yet, for all the remarkable healing work that Jesus did, he never once took the credit. Instead he always gave the glory and honor to God, our common Father. So sincere was Jesus in his expression of humility that he even said, "I can of my own self do nothing" (John 5:30). In other words, Christ Jesus, the Son of God, who overcame all the ugliness that the world could throw at him, said (in essence), the good that I do isn't personal to me; it's the Father working through me.
Mary Baker Eddy, the woman who founded the Christian Science church, perceived the powerful impact that Jesus' humility had on his healing and saving mission. She wrote, "Great charity and humility is necessary in this work of healing. The loving patience of Jesus, we must strive to emulate." (Miscellaneous Writings 7:7-9)
There is great need for healing in the world today, and Christ-like humility can help us to meet that demand. In this lecture, we will discuss how learning to follow the example of Christ Jesus, particularly his profound display of humility, can empower each one of us to heal and to overcome the hard problems that we face.
Free parking and childcare for children too young to attend the talk will be provided. For more information, call 617-484-3963, or see www.christiansciencebelmont.com.
