Express Faith
In Divinity.
In Jesus was only an ordinary man
we ought to be able to produce bet
ter man today with all that we pos
sess. / think it can be accounted for
upon no other suggested hypothesis
than His own Divinity.
A famous man after travelling the
world over, returned home and a
friend of his said: What was it that
you saw in your journeys that i'm
pressed you the most He thought
he'd speak of the pyramids. What
, was it that you saw in your journeys
that impressed you the most?"
He instantly replied, Nazareth"

To think that such country, such a
people and such community could

gone there before, not believing,
would have believed, for it couldn't
have been explained on any other
grounds than that He was the son of
God That is what impressed me the

such surroundings, such people, such
country, that convinced me He was
/ Divine
Life Was
Wonderful
His life was wonderful in its sin
lessness, and usefulness and IN
selfishness. His enemies could bring
no graver charges against Him than
that he claimed God was His father.
He let sinful women come close
enough to touch Him, and He would

/! body was in distress it made no diff
ference to Jesus Christ whether it
was Thursday or Sabbath, He'd help
| them just the same.
Jesus Christ was always helping
others and not once did He ever do
anything to help Himself. He had
power to turn stones into bread, and
yet he tasted for forty days in the
wilderness, and when He was escap.

heard He was going by, and cried
"Thou son Of David, have mercy upor
me-" and Jesus stopped to help him
Never did He seek for His own, but
He lived for others that He might
alleviate their misery and suffering.
The first miracle that He perform
ed was not before a gaping, wonder
ing crowd to satisfy their curiosity
but to save a peasants wife from
humiliation when at the wedding
feast He turned the water into wine

Let's see if anything that He die
justifies the prophet in saying 20(
years before His mother gave Hin
birth in the manger, "His name shall
be called Wonderful"
His Teachings
Were Wonderful.
And his teaching was wonderful

adaptation of His teachings to thu
