THE ETERNAL MIRACLE
$
We are quite unmindful of chronology in writing this story. We
are not bound by the familiar outline which begins with the song of the
angels at Bethlehem and ends with the weeping of the women at the
cross.
We shall thread our way back and forth through the rich variety
of Jesus’ life, picking up this Incident and that bit of conversation, thi^
dramatic contact and that audacious decision, and bringing them to
gether as best to illustrate our purpose. For that purpose is not to
write a biography but to paint a portrait. We pass quickly over thirty
years of Jesus’ life, nothing only that somehow, somewhere there oc
curred in those years the eternal miracle—the awakening of the inner
consciousness of power. The eternal miracle!
In New York one day a luncheon was tendered by a gathering of
distinguished gentlemen to David Lloyd George. There were per
haps two hundred at the tables. The food was good .and the speeches
were impressive. But what stirred one’s imagination warf a study
ci the men at the speakers’ table. There they were—some of the most
influential citizens of the present-day world; and who were they?
At one end of the table an international financier—the son of a
poor country parson. Beside him a great newspaper proprietor—he
came from a tiny town in Maine and landed in New York with less
than a hundred dollars. A little farther along the president of a
world-wide press association—a copy boy in a country newspaper of
fice. And, in the center, the boy who grew up in the poverty of an
obscure Welsh village, and became the commanding statesman of the
British Empire in the greatest crisis of history.
When and how and where did the eternal miracle occur in the
lives of those men? At what hour, in the morning, in the afternoon,
in the long quiet evening, did the audacious thought enter the mind
of each of them that he was larger than the limits of a country town,
that his life might be bigger than his father’s?
Likewise, when did the thought come to Jesus? Was it one
morning when he stood at the carpenter’s bench, the sun streaming
in across the hills? Was it late in the night, after the family had re
tired, and he h^d slipped out to walk and wonder under the stars?
Nobody knows. All we can be sure of is this—that the conscious
ness of his divinity must have come to him in a time of solitude, of
awe in the presence of Nature.
The western hemisphere has been fertile in material progress, but
the great religions have all come out of the East. The deserts are
a symbol of the infinite; the vast spaces that divide men from the stars
fill the human soul with wonder. Somewhere, at some unforgettable
hour, the daring filled Jesus’ heart. He knew that he was bigger
than Nazareth.
