JESUS BUST WITH HIS MINISTIIT OF LOTE CESSON text—Mark l;S-45. ' golden TEXT—I must work th« work! of him that sent me. whUe It U day: the nlfht cometh, when no man can work.— John 9:4. FAQK MINI Jesus said that He “must work the works of him that sent him” (John 9:4). And so we And Him go ing straightway about His Father’s business. It is a good example He has set for us. What He did and how He did it will give ua many ’ossons which we may apply to our service. We can not do exactly what He did, but in His power we may do mighty«works. He flnd» our Lord doing lour im portant things— I. Healing (w. ;’.2-34). We will do well to include verses 29*31 in our thinki-.'», lor there we find our lord tenderly sharing the sorrow of the home of a friend. One can picture the anxious hush that hovered over the home as distressed relatives and friends sought to al leviate the suffering of the one with a fever. They knew the possibility of a serious outcome of the illnesa. Many of us have gone through that dark valley. All at once there was new hope, and sooir there was Joy. Jesus had come and had brought healing. Many of us have also had that blessed experience. (Christianity is not a selfish faith. If it follows its Lord. We see in verses 32 to 84 that all the city cagie to His obor with the diseased and demon-possessed, and He healed them all. The account of the kindly and in telligent care of the sick is written large on the pages of the history of the Christian church. We 4o not have His divine touch of immediate healing, but we may have His com passion which served the multitude with tenderness and kindness. II. Praying (w. 35-37). The Son of God sought out a place and a time for prayer communionT with His Father. How often we who profess to follow Him fail to pray at all. Certainly we need the grace and power that prayer can bring far more than Jesus did. But, we say, we are so busy. So was He. We are tired. So was He. People will not let us alone. They also fol lowed Him. We make excuaaa^ but we have no real reasons for our un fortunate delinquency. An men were seeking Him (v. 37), but still He took the needed time to pray. It has been said that “if you are too busy to p^ay, you are busier than God ever / intended you to be.^ When His disciples wanted Him, they had to look for Him in the place of prayer. C!hristian workers and pastors, do people find us there? III. Preaching (w. 38, 39). Jesus said, “Let us go . . . that I may preach . . . fw therefore came I forth.” It bears repetition” that while Jesus did'many miracles (and not for a moment would we detract from their worth and glory), ye\ He repeatedly, by mord and act, empha sized the importance of preaching. Foolish though it may seem to the natural man (I Cor. 1:18-25), preach ing the gospel in 4he power ot the Holy Spirit is now, as it has been through the centuries, God’s chosen means of accomplishing His pur pose. What « pity that churches and pastors are forsaking it for book reviews, dramas, social hours, forums, and what not I God give us a Kvlval of great, humble, and fearless preach!^ of the WordI i* IV. Cleansing (w. 40-45). There is a sense to which the cleansing of the leper was another act of healing, but leprosy is such a striking type of sin that the inci dent calls for special ctmsideration. Leprosy is like sin in that it is a destructive malady that pursues its insidious way without revealing its true nature until it Is far advanced. It renders s man unclsan, lostL (omc to himself end dangerous to Dthers. At Isast such it was in ttie lays of our Leed. Was tiiere than no hope tor tha leper? Tea; Jesus had come. Tha ii^ttan man criad out, “If thou vilt, thou canst make me cleaa.**' ^d Jesus said, *1 wiU^ . . . and le was cleansed.'* So may the einner be oleaneed, 'or **whoaoevcr shall caQ upon Bkt lame of the Lord shall be saved** '.Rom. 10:13).
