Christ in our lives

 I recently ran across the following words from Martin Luther's hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is our God":

"Did we in or own strength confide
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man at our side,
The man of God's own choosing;
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He"

And as a friend in Scotland says often,

With Christ we shall prevail;
Without Christ we're bound to fail

The religion I study and practice endorses all this and more. Through Christian Science which was established by Mary Baker Eddy to reinstate the words and works of Christ Jesus, we not only are taught to revere and follow Jesus; as He did with healing through God's power alone, we are inspired to do likewise.  And the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" gives us the tools with which to do this.
