Who Was Jesus? He It Was Who Had Power
Over Death, Nature Sin. Devils and Life

Asking the question Who Was
Jesus" Mr.. Sunday in his sermon
this afternoon answered the ques-
| ton by relating the experiences OF
the bible characters whom he
healed. He said:
Now, today, I have no text espe-
cially. Some time ago I was
startled by these words staring at
me from the pages of the newspa-
per, Who Was Jesus?"
Let's try and find out from those
who lived with Him while He was
here in the flesh, although I might
ask people today and get just as
thorough answers. But let's go
back with those who knew Him,
and shook hands with Him, heard
/ His words, received the gracious
benefit by associating with Him.
From countless homes there has
come testimony that when Jesus
Christ wanted to be their guest.
they refused Him the privilege, and
the bitter waters of affliction He
would have turned into joy, if He
had been given the right to do it.
From countless thousands has
come the bitter cry. that Jesus
wanted to bless them and He would
have been a blessing to them, but
they frowned upon Him, and slam
med the door in His face. Then
darkness and discomfort and ran
cor and resentment. and enmity
and spite and venom shattered
their hearts, and wrecked their

ilege of being the honOred guest

man well along in years. and his
hair is gray and his step is quick
and strong, his face is full of hap
piness and his cheek is rudy with
the glow of health. | hail him and
/ say, who was Jesus?" and at
the name, gladness seems to kindle
in his eyes, and with joy in his
tones. he cries out:
why. it was Jesus who made
me what | am today. For 3S years
I'd lain on the porch by the pool of
Bethesda through storm and
through cold, through sunshine
and through rain, through the long
wakeful nights waiting for the an
gel to come down at a certain sea-
son and trouble the waters, that l
might creep in and be healed of
my disease.
He Healed the Leper.
1T was Jesus who made me well
after SO years of hopeless suffer-
ing. Now l am telling others"
The next fellow I see is strong,
robust sort of a fellow He seems
never to have been sick at all. and
his flesh is as clear and rudy as
could be, and he had look on his
face as sweet and wholesome as a
little baby. ask this fellow,
"Who was Jesus?" and his face is
instantly radiant as if you'd turn
ed on an electric search light.
"'Why," he said, at was Jesus
that made life all that it is to me,
and without Jesus, I wouldn't want
to be alive. had long been lep-

The next man meet shows glad
ness in every step. Let's see if |
can get any help from this fine
looking fellow. I say, How do you
do? l am a stranger here in Jeru-
salem. l am a asking, Who was
jesus"
Why" he said, He opened my
