New Testament
Miracles Point to
Powers of Jesus
The International Sunday School
Lesson for Jan. 30
Text: Mark 4: 35-41; 5: 35-43
* * *
'T'HE power that Jesus had was
the power to help, and He
was always using it. Some He
helped by His teaching, bringing
them the truth that they need-
ed; some He helped by His coun-
sel and criticism.
The help that Jesus gave in
the incidents in our lesson was
mostly physical, but with spirit-
ual results.
One incident is of the Mas-,
ter’s life-giving power. A ruler
of the synagogue, named Jairus,
came to Jesus in great concern
for his daughter who was at
the point of death. His pro-
found faith in Jesus was mani-
fest in his plea that if Jesus
would but come and put His
hands upon her she would be
healed. As they went to the
home a great multitude followed,,
but before they arrived messen-.
gers came announcing that the
daughter had already died.
The story of Jesus’ bringing j
her to life has some strange as-
pects. Jesus allowed only Peter,:
James, and John, the three who
later were also to share, the ex-
periences of the Transfigura-
tion, to accompany Him into
the house; and He sent out of
the house the many who were
making a tumult of weeping and
mourning. When He said that
the child was not dead, but
sleeping, they all laughed Him.
to scorn. Whether Jesus meant,
that literally or not, we do not
know; death, in view of the life-
giving power of Christ, is often
referred to as “sleep.”
After ages of investigation, |
and startling discovery in other;
fields, we still know little con-1
cerning the mysteries of life.
But the one thing that is cer-
tain is the life-giving power of
the Christ. We cannot under- j
stand the mystery of the mira- |
cles of ancient time. But this]
striking thing is true of the New j
Testament miracles—they all]
typify the higher power of the]
Master to help. ---------
