How did Christian Science interpret Jesus’ healings and resurrection?

In Christian Science, founded by Mary Baker Eddy, the healings and resurrection of Jesus Christ are interpreted as demonstrations of spiritual reality over material illusion.12

Healing as Spiritual Demonstration

Christian Science views Jesus’ healing works not as supernatural miracles, but as proof that the limitations of the mortal state can be overcome by gaining the "mind of Christ"—a deeper understanding of humanity's true spiritual status. Eddy taught that disease is rooted in the human mind and that matter is a subjective state of mortal thought, rather than a creation of God. Consequently, healing through prayer is considered a necessary element of redemption, demonstrating that life is in and of Spirit, which is the sole reality of existence.21

The Significance of the Resurrection

The crucifixion and resurrection are viewed as indispensable to human redemption. According to the tenets of the church, these events served to uplift faith, helping humanity understand the "allness of Soul" and the "nothingness of matter". By overcoming sin and death, Jesus is seen as the "Way-shower," demonstrating that eternal Life is a spiritual fact rather than a physical one.21
