Two Mighty Works. Matt. viii 1884.
Golden Text = What manner of
man is this, that even the winds and
the sea obey him. Matt. viii:27.
Verses 23-24-What is your idea az
70 whether Jesus was liable to the
same natural difficulties and diseases
as we are, such as WEAKNESS, head
ache, seasickness, etc., and did he
have to battle against wind and tide?
AS Jesus gave orders for this voyage
Wis could it result disastrously,
either to the ship or the passengers.
and is there, or not, any sort of dan
ger in the work to which God directs
US?
Why are difficulties, such as wind
and waves, and other opposing forces
permitted in the lives of all true and
good men?
Verses 25-26--Why could Jesus
sleep in the midst of such storm and
with his disciples in such distress of
mind?
Why were the fears Of the disciples
foolish and unfounded?
What reasons are there, for or
against the idea, that the ship could
not possibly sink with Jesus on board?
Did these disciples do well to re-
buke Jesus (See Mark iv:3S) for
what was one of the greatest bless
ings of thei lives, and is this a mis-
take, if not a sin, of frequent occur
renee?
Is there any reason to think that it
would have been better if they had
not awakened Jesus, and if their pray
er had never been made?
When We pray to God TO change an
experience or to alter circumstances,
which he has planned for our help,
how would you characterize such a
prayer?
Verse 81 Why did Jesus perform
this miracle?
By what power was this great mir
acle performed?
Which would be of the greater ben
eft to mankind for God to run the uni
verse, and the affairs of men, On fixed
laws Or by miracles?
Verse 28-What are the chief char,
! kcteristics Of the Devil. as illustrated
| by these two, who were possessed
with devils?
Can you give examples CT any to-,
lay possessed with devils, or which,
chow similar moral characteristics as
these two?
Verse 29-How did these devils.
! probably know Jesus?
How much virtue is there in mere
orthodoxy or in proper intellectual
estimate Of Jesus? (See Jas. ii;19D
If bad men know they are on the
road to torment" how do you &C
cunt for the fact that Iney keep right
on the same road?
On any view Of the future life, what
escape is there from the result of NOR
al law? viz, that right doing produces
happiness, wrong doing produces mis-
cry, that actions form habits, that in
turn form character, which produces
eternal destiny? (This question may
have to be answered in writing by
members of the cIub.)
Verses 30-32-Accordipg to the Jew.
ish law, how we've the keepers and
eaters of swine's flesh regarded?
Why did Jesus permit the devils to
enter this herd Of swine?
Give some examples of how God in
all ages has used the Devil to accom-.
plish his purposes, and say why he
does so.
What was the object of these devils
in wanting to enter these swine?
Why is it that bad men and devils
take a delight in causing loss and
pain. and that they are really "tor.
mented" when they are restrained
from doing evil?
Are there any to-day possessed with
devils that Jesus cannot cast out?
| Why or why not?
Verses 33-34-What action do bad
men take to-day, when their unholy
business is being overtnrown by men
of God?
