Jesus Busy With His Ministry of
Love.
Lesson for January 9: Mark
1:23—2:14.
Golden Text: John 9:4.
The many healings, the early
vigil, the tour through Galilee,
the call of Levi (Matthew) all
show that Jesus was indeed busy
in his ministry of love in the
spring of 28; all the incidents
cannot be considered in brief
space. So: with a few general ob
servations, we shall think especi
ally of the healing of the palsied
man.
Jesus had sympathy with the
suffering. He touched the leper.
And we must be sympathetic if
we would truly help needy men.
And Jesus revealed his power to
heal. This should lead us, instead
of abandoning medicine and sur
gery, to extend their ministry to
the poor, using the means at ourj
command and trusting the Great
Physician to use it.
The palsied man’s friends
showed love, cooperation, persis
tence, and faith—good things to
be imitated. Jesus said to the
palsied man: “Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee.” Critics were cor
rect in thinking that only God
could forgive sins; they erred in
failing to recognize that God was
with them. And nothing could
be worse than for men Aot to see
God in Jesus.
Whether or not the palsied
man’s condition w r as due to his
sins, he was a sinner. And the
greater cure he needed was that
of the soul. Jesus had compas
sion on men in their bodily ills
but He was chiefly concerned to
win their love and save their
souls. And the helpful ministry
of the church should be the
means to the blessed end of lead
ing men to spiritual life. In the
final incident of the lesson Jesus
went at once to the soul of a man
and called Matthew to new life
and made him a blessing to the
age.

Another faithful one is gene
From our church and from his

This so hard to understand;
Eut we ail must go at God’s

No more we hear his tender voice,
But yet we know it was God’s
choice
To toke him home to Heaven
above,
Where all is pence, joy and love.
Anywhere we meet together.
We think of him in the bright
forever.
In gentle words he seems to say,
Have thine own way Lord, have
thine own way.
Flowers may wither and decay,
But Christians lives are here to
s,tay.
In many» ways they help us
through,
Until we meet to live anew.
