"Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy."

- Science & Health, with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 476

This excerpt from Science and Health explains how Jesus healed and is an example of how we can heal, too. He saw "God's own likeness." That's what the truth about you is - you are God's own likeness. You are intact, not subject to deterioration or decay. By striving to see yourself as God's likeness, you are praying in the same way that Jesus did and healing will result.
