'Two Miracles of Mercy" j
John 5:2-0; 6:S-15. i
By diligent study of this lesson we
should discover one great fundamen-j
tal truth that what Christ said he
v as and what Christ proved himself
to be by his miracles, compel every
man to either believe in Christ as
the Son of God, or reject him. as
again raid again in this lesson man
did. It is imperative for man to
make and come to a decision some
time in life where he is confronted
with the question: "What think ye
of Christ? Whose son is he?" (Matt.
The first part of our lessen occur
red in Jerusalem, while the second
part took place at Bethsadia, on the
shores of the sea of Galilee; the dis
courses following were given in the
Synagogue in Capernaum The mir
acle at the pool of Bethesda "house
of mercy" should prove very interest
ing A description and location of
this pool, mentioned only by John, is
time well spent. We find Jesus
on a Sabbath visiting the sick- a
laudable occupation to be imitated.
How that great conipasionute heart
of Jesus must have been stirred
when he saw the many sick, blind,
halt and withered the work of that
dreadful disease sin. Passing along
lie beholds a very unfortunate, im
potent mar., the i icture cf 'Hopeless
ness; -a ho having su fined for 3S
years from a disease caused by sins
of his youth. As a last resort he will
try the healing waters of a pool of
which he had heard, also of the mir
aculous cures; but lie tar.not move
fast enough when an angel stirs up
the water (when it gave its healing
powers to enter the pool and an
other enters and is healed; and an
other futile effort sends him Lack to
his bed. The sympathizing Jesus slops
at his bed listen to the loving voice:
"Wouldst thou be made whole?"
"Yes, indeed! But -what's the use
trying; I am too slow end have no
one to help me." Here the Son of
God shows his knowledge of men and
manifests his power: "Arise, take up
thy bed .and walk." Jeous does not
ask faith of the man only obedience,
and with the effort comes strength
and health is restored. That is the
wonder working Jesus! He's just the
same today. No one need despair.
"There is power in the blood" to heal
all diseases; "Sin hath lelt its crim
boii stain, he washed it white as
snow." A good Sabbath day's work
for Jesus "go thou and do like
wise" and cheer up the sick and the
ehut-ins, the despondent.; and the un
Buved. But another result follows: The

devil got busy and drove Jesus out
cf Jerusalem (because his hour had
not come) (John 2:1); and he leaves
the environs of Judea (the end of his
first year's ministry), and we find
Jesus next in Galilee. Here a great
work awaits him.
Crossing the sea of Galilee, seek
ing retirement with his disciples the
multitude followed him on foot. See
ing the masses, who were gathering
for their pilgrimage to the passover
feast, he had compassion on them.
(All four evangelists report this mir
acle .
Asking one disciple a test ques
tion: "Where can we buy bread to
feed the people?" Philip finds the
treasurer, ascertain: how much it
contains and finds there are only two
hundred pennies, and that would not
buy sufficient bread. In the mean
while Andrew searching for a sup
ply has poor luck, but he reports
what he found: "There is a lad here,
whose mother packed in his lunch
kit, live barley loaves and two small
fish (knowing that boys are always
hungry) but what is that among so
many?" (See Numbers 11:21, 22 for
a parallel). Here the Son of God re
veals his power (as he does every day
feeding 1,600,000,000 three times a
day). Our Cod can do great things!
j Order is heaven's first law; let the
people come to order.
Five thousand men are seated in
companies by fifties and hundreds.
(Women and children' form another
group, probably live thousand more.)
The lad gives up his lunch (or did
he sell it?). It is brought to Jesus,
who, having given thanks (grace be
fore meals) distributes the bread and
iishe3 and the twelve .va iters got
very busy; so did Jesus, filling their
baskets, who returned for more when
empty. By this time all eyes are
fixed on Jesus, and the thought en
ters the mind of some, when they
saw the "cigii" whether this was not
the "prophet ' that should come into
the world. (See Deut. 18:15). The
people even were willing to make
Jesus their king; (yes, who would not
live under tho rule or a king who
could feed his subjects in such a
"marvelous and easy way; that would
even be better than being on relief).
As a king, they thought lie could de
liver them from the Roman govern
ment. They did not accept him as
Messiah and Saviour.
This miracle cannot be explained.
, All attempts to escape the miraculous
nature of this event violate all the
canons of historical evidence, and are
on the face of them, irrational and
foolish. John was there and John
