The records which the evangeIsts
have given US are so meager that 1t is
difficult for US TO get a proper con-
ception of all the work that Jesus did
during His brief ministry. They We're
not attempting to write a biography OF
Him. but were recording only certain
facts for very distinct purposes. Just
word now and then gives freedom
to the Imagination. For example, John
says that if all He said and did were
written he supposes the world itself
could not contain the books that should
be written. Here also Matthew gives us
hint. We have no record of any spe-
cihc things done in Chorazin and Beth
saida, and yet theset were two cities in
which most of His mighty works were
done. 1t does not take much play Of
the imagination to begin to appreciate
how intensely active His life was
But every one of the mighty works
that He did was for a distinct pur-
pose II was to reveal to those who
saw ii the fact that the Son of God
had come unto the world to seek and to
save that which was lost, 1t was to
reveal to those who witnessed il their
own need for a Saviour and to reveal
Himself to them as the Saviour they
needed. And the marvel of it all is
were only a few who had spiritual dis
cernment enough to see their need OF
Him, repent of their sins, and accept
Him as their Lord and Saviour.
II was after the inquiry Of John the
Baptist and His reply thereto by many
mighty works that Jesus seemed TO
realize how hard of understanding the
people were. BE was awfully discour-
aged, and began 10 throw it in the teeth
of those cities in which most of His
mighty works had been done. He warn
ed them of the dreadful responsibility
which the knowledge of what He had
done entailed upon them. lie Impress
ed upon them the fact that day OF
reckoning was coming and that in that
day judgment should be rendered ac-
cording to the manner of responsible
~. Tyre and Sidon were looked upon
bv them as the most wicked cities in
their knowledge, but JESUS said that II
should be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon than for themselves for these
