announcement of the voice from
heaven.
A. The Early Ministry of Jesus. -
This lesson dates from the end of the
Judean ministry of one year, and be-
gins the record of His nearly two
years ministry in Galilee. The
scene is an exciting and pathetic one.
1t is His first public appearance before
a home audience at Nazareth, and
furnishes us an illustration of the mat
ter and of His preaching. The
text from Isaiah was an epitome of
His mission on earth, and His use of
it shows His familiarity with the
Jewish Scriptures, and the conscious
ness of His Messianic mission. The
result was a sad prophecy of what He
might expect as to His acceptance
among men.
D.. The Power Of Jesus. In this
lesson His power is shown in the
miracle of healing, and the greater
miracle of the forgiveness of sin. The
case of the paralytic furnishes a fine
illustration of cooperative effort in
getting to Christ. and His recognition
of cooperative work and faith. In
answering the charge Of blasphemy,
He demonstrates His power to forgive
sin, a miracle cognizable only by the
pardoned one, by commanding and en-
abling the paralytic to take up his bed
and walk, a miracle c%ognizable by
| the senses of all.
O. Sermon on the Mount. This il
the lesson of the "Mote and the Beam, -
the good and corrupt "Tree," the
Rock and the Sand" The sin OF
consciousness is condemned; the test
Of goodness is shown to be bearing
| good fruit the wisdom of hearing and
| doing the word of God is likened unto
the man who builds his house upon O
rock the folly of hearing and not
doing is likened unto a man who
builds upon the sand.
z. The Great Helper. I'm this we
have the cure of the Centurion's serv.
ant and the raising Of the only son OF
the widow of Main. In the first case,
a miracle in response to the strongest
faith in the second, an unsolicited
miracle, out of profound sympathy fol-
a heart-broken widow. This Roman
C~enturion's character blossomed in the
beautiful traits of faith, affection, gen.
crosby, and humility. He was worthy
of the Immortality Christ gave him.
We have not q recorded word as passing
between the widow and Jesus. The
eloquence of tears moved His sympa.
thetic heart The silent look of love
and gratitude was more expressive thar
words.
8. Faith Encouraged. This lessor
is an illustration of the truth that
Jesus delays were not denials. Jairus'
faith was not equal to that of the Ger
turion, but 1t was genuine, and Christ
developed 1t until he could finally be
lieve though his daughter were dead.
By this delay, not only was the rulers
faith enlarged. hut the glory Of Goo
was much more manifest. The cur,
on the way Of the woman with al
issue of blood, Is another beautiful
illustration Of Christ's method of de
yeloping faith. He honored her partia
and socTet faith but by Bringing hel
