If there is no sin, why did Jesus come to save sinners? – 2
Jesus assumed for mortals the weakness of flesh, that Spirit might be found “All-in-all.” Hence, the human cry which voiced that struggle; thence, the way he made for mortals’ escape. Our Master bore the cross to show his power over death; then relinquished his earth-task of teaching and demonstrating the nothingness of sickness, sin, and death, and rose to his native estate, man’s indestructible eternal life in God. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, p.63:30-8)
Thank God for our two witnesses on how to escape from mortality.
In Twelve Years With Mary Baker Eddy, Irving Tomlinson makes this important point:
Pg. 284
“The primal cause of all that is, we know, is God, divine Mind, eternal Truth. This primal cause, as clearly indicated, includes fatherhood and motherhood, the masculine and feminine states of consciousness which are typified by the two witnesses, Christ and Christian Science. Christ being made manifest through the manhood of Jesus and Christian Science through the womanhood of Mary Baker Eddy. It is significant that according to Hebrew law at least two witnesses were required to establish a fact. In Deuteronomy we read: “at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.” On this point Mrs. Eddy makes this comment on page 346 of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: “Science and Health makes it plain to all Christian Scientists that the manhood and womanhood of God have already been revealed in a degree through Christ Jesus and Christian Science, His two witnesses.”
