"One thing I know...."

Spiritual resource to share: miracles




The quote from the title is from an incident recorded in the Bible (in John 9: 25) which continues: "...that, whereas I was blind, now I see."

A man had been born blind and Jesus totally restored his sight.  When the man was pressed with questions about this incident, he held his ground on what he knew to be true and said "One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."


Today, people are still being healed by the same Principle that Christ Jesus proved so many years ago.  And they are giving different versions of that same story:  whereas before I was blind, in pain, disfigured, grieved, sick, etc, now I am free.

Today, there are thousands of accounts of healings that came about by praying with the principles Christ Jesus taught:  healings in which eyesight was restored ( click here to read), healings of abdominal pains (click here to read), of severe facial burns (click here to read ) and other healings of physical, financial, and relationship discords (click here to read more stories).

Through the study of Christian Science, I have found that what are normally called miracles aren't a one-of-a-kind phenomenom, but actually repeatable and provable today.  The textbook that explains Christ's healing work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, gives this definition of miracles:
MIRACLE: That which is divinely natural, but must be learned humanly; a phenomenon of Science.

Yes!  This makes sense.  God, who is all good and all powerful, would naturally be expressed in our bodies and our lives as wholeness and as harmonious.  It is natural that health trumps illness and love dissolves hate and intelligent care defeat ignorance.  That is what is normal.

I thought how decades ago, it would have been thought miraculous to be walkng on the moon, to talk to friends in real time on the other side of the world.  But today, these things are not seen as miraculous, but simply as an outgrowth of our understanding of the unlimited possibilities we all have.

Likewise, we are closing in on that day where we see the miracles that were written in the Bible have a certain and provable basis that we can work with on an everyday basis.  This is natural and possible.  More and more, healings like these will simply be a result of our understanding of the unlimited possibilities we all have now.
