I'D Verse 1S-How do you account
Tor this mans extraordinary faith?
t2o Would it be possible, or not for
a man who is not follower of Jesus
to have such faith as this?
49, What is faith caused by, or
based upon? Is it matter of evil
dence, or result of deep reasoning,
or is it divine importation possible
only to those who are spiritual, or
what? (This question may have to be
answered in writing by members of
the club.)
CD Verse 19-Did Jesus, while in
the flesh, ever refuse any request for
help, and how is he today in that
particular?
cd Give your views as to whether
it is possible for person to be true
Christian, who is not as willing to
help those in need as Jesus was.
(6) Verses 2G21-How do you
harmonic with the goodness of God
the fact that there are so many with
incurable diseases, in great pain all the
time, dying living death, much like
this poor woman?
CD If all such sufferers would come
to Jesus now, in faith, like this poor
woman did, would it be his will to
always cure them, as he did then?
60 1t was a noble faith that this
woman had in believing she would be
cured by touching his garment, but,
is there reason to believe that, she
could have been cured without touch
ing him at all?
CD Was it the touch that cured
her. or the conscious consent and
power Of Jesus?
(10) Verse 22-Jesus knows and
sees all who would come to him for
help, and always welcomes and helps
each one who comes, why then do so
many hesitate, Or neglect to come to
him?
(11.) Verses 23-24-It appears it was
custom to play mournful music
when death entered a home, and for
the friends to make great lamen-
tation, please say whether this har-
monies with the teaching of Jesus,
and whether in this case his words
were meant for q rebuke.
(12) Why are not mournful music.
the wearing of mourning, the giving
away to violent grief, and other SINH
lar heathenish customs, when friends
Gle. displeasing to God?
OBJ Can you give any examples of
9esus using words with two or more
meanings, and in such a way, that
only those who were honest hearted
could understand what he meant?
(14) Verse 25-Why did Jesus put
the people out before he raised this
young woman to life?
15D Was it possible for Jesus, and
is it possible for any follower of Jesus,
to work effectually in the presence of
scorners?
(16) Verse 26-Why did the world
reject Jesus, Notwithstanding his
great fame as a loving teacher with
marvellous woodworking power?
17) Verses 27-29-How did these
two blind men know that Jesus was
the son Of David?
(1S.) Do ALL men need to cry for
mercy, and why?
(19.) Would Jesus have healed these
blind men if they did not have faith
that he could do SO?
(20) What part does faith play in
the temporal and spiritual progress
of men tu-day?
OLD Verses 30-31-Why did Jesus
forbid them from telling of this mir
| acle?
(22) Did they do right to tell it
seeing Jesus had requested them no
| to do so?
(23.) Which is the right thing tt
do, follow our good impulses, or obey
! God. when these are contrary the one
to the other as in this case?
(24.) Verses 32-34-Jesus spent hi:
life in one continuous work of healin:
| all manner of diseases and doins
good; in what measure are we to fol
low his example?
(25) Why was it that the mort
good he did and the more clearly ht
! demonstrated his claim as the son o
God, the more the Pharisees hatet
| him?
