IDENTIFY working toward an important
end, one which may have been speclal-
ly desirable at that period of his min
istry. He wished to be known in His
true nature and mission. Many
thought of Him merely as a wonderful
teacher. John Ill: 2.l Hence lie
sought to convert this incident into
evidence Of His deity. The logic Of
the case had already been stated In
His question to the scribes. God only
forgives sin. He had wrought miracles
and that had entitled Him to forgive
Sins. Therefore He was not a BIAS
phemer, but a Divine person. But
that they might know this, and that
the last doubt might be removed from
their minds, He determined to give
immediate proof. Arise and 60 thy
way" was His authoritative word to
the paralytic. Bold and blasphemous
language that was If he were only q
man. And yet lest the opinion of those
present should rest upon some per-
sonal claim He called Himself the Son
of man.
RESULT (verse 1O.-On that COM
mand hung the future both Of Jesus
wrought the one Is a pretender, and
the other Is doomed to helplessness for
life. But II the word Ia obeyed then
the Saviour and Teacher passes into
history as Lord, and a man is restored
to health and usefulness. Amidst pro-
found silence, while many witnesses
behele, the man arose, took up his bed
and walked away. He had heard the
nf Ia ,tut
healed, soul and body in a moment
made new. There were none to criti-
else or doubt. An ocular demonstra-
ton had removed all ground for de-
bate All were amazed. and all had
| wisdom to see that God was in the
deed in some way. They therefore
glorifled God-praised Him and re-
joiced. And the company dispersed
| with thorough conviction and un-
bounded enthusiasm. They declared
that they had never seen anything like
| this.
CONCLUSION.-Wh shall we say
| to this incident. There are bat two
things that may be said. First, that
| the miracle was never wrought. Some
| have so asserted. sweeping away all
the miraculous from the gospel history.
Then must we reject the books as
worthless. This record is so circum-
stantial made with such evidence sim
cerity, that to ascribe it to the sabu-
lous is to prove the writer's unworthy
| of any confidence. To do that Is to
| reject the whole system of Christiani-
| ty, result for which few are pre-
!! pared. Second. that the passage is to
be taken as reliable history. Then are
we forced to place Jesus upon the
| throne. We must take Him at His
own word. He entered first into the
| spiritual and afterward into the phy-
sical and did what only God could do.
| He was therefore God in human flesh.
| (John 4: 14) AS such He is worthy to
receive the love, reverence and service
| Of men.

CONTEXT.-The evangelists have
made very brief record mark 1,
35-45; Luke ", AZ to v16), of what
transpired between last lesson and
this. On the morning after the busy
day in Capernaum jesus departed into
a solitary place TO pray. Shortly af-
ter His disciples followed and reported
that men were earnestly seeking Him.
On hearing this the Master. doubtless
to avoid the crowd, visited the adjoin-
ing towns and preached in the syna.
gogues. While on tha, journey He
healed leper who came beseeching
Him, and who went forth, contrary
to the direction of Jesus, publishing
abroad the wonderful deed, SO that
the multitude crowded about the Saw
iour to His great enibar rassment.
For time therefore, He limited His
ministry to the rural sections. And
still the people gathered to HIN from
every quarter.
AUDIENCE (verses / and 2).-After
awhile Jesus re-entered Capernaum,
His home city (Matt. tx, y, having
done great work during His alb
sencc. His presence was quickly
noised abroad, resulting in a large con-
course Of people and even crowded
the street. 1t was magnificent dis
play of popular enthusiasm for nota-
BILE parsonage. That fame is leglti-
mate and most desired that promotes
ones usefulness. On this occasion q
splendid opportunity was offered, and
Jesus improved it by delivering a SER
mon. We may picture to ourselves the
great Preacher addressing that vast
audience upon the stupendous themes
Of the gospel. 1t is said that "Hc
preached the word" 1t was probably
an exposition of Scripture U.uke xiv,
2O, after His usual custom.
PATIENT Oversees 5 and D.--Whils,
the chief appeal TO men is to their
intellects and, consciencec they are
more concerned for their physical conf
fort. The truth, the one instrument
Of spiritual elevation John xvii, 10,
Is often rejected, while material good
is eagerly sought. The sermon that
day was suddenly interrupted by some
men who sought to bring 4 paralytic
under the power of Christ. At FIRST
they made attempts 70 enter by the
ordinary way, but We're prevented by
the crowds who blocked the passage.
AS a last resort they mounted the roof
and removed the tiling and the tim
ber:, which they nigh. easily do, as
the coverings of the dwellings, were
constructed in a loose way. And then
by means of ropes they let down the
helpless; man as he lay upon mis- cot.
so that he came into the very midst
of the open court where Jesus was
standing. The patient was thus with
in reach of the Physician.
