THE MIGHTY WORKS OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 8:23-34. GOLDEN TEXT—What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!—Matthew 8:27. The mighty works of Jesus de clared Him to be the Son of God— yes, very God Himself. Unbeliev ing men who would discredit the Word of God and deny the Godhood of the Son are at much labor and trouble to explain away the mira cles, but without any success. In our lesson for today we have Christ showing His divine power over the forces of nature, and over the demons of the evil spirit world. We find the disciples in the storm— I. Fearful—but Not in Danger (w. 23-27). The Son oj God—who had become Son of man—showed His true hu manity by that weariness which made Him sleep through a tempes tuous storm such as often came upon Lake Galilee. “Like a general in time of war Jesus slept when He could.” As He calmly slept, fear of de struction laid its deadly grip upon the hearts of the disciples. For the moment they saw only the angry waves, the smallness of their craft, the hopelessness of their situation, apparently forgetting that with Christ in the boat they were in no danger, in spite of the fearfulness of their surroundings and circum stances. Is this not clearly a lesson for us in this day so full of alarms and fears? If we think of circumstances and conditions round about us we shall be overcome with fear—and well we' may, if we do not have Christ with us in the boat of life. But if He is there—if we are His in the kinship of regenerating grace —we are in no danger. Shall we not accept the tender rebuke, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" (v. 26). The majestic scene of Christ still ing the tempest, reminds us not only that He can control any force of nature, but also that there is no storm of heart or mind or life to which He cannot authoritatively say, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39). Will you trust Him with your prob lem? On the other side of the lake Christ met another kind of need— and cared for it. He there deliv ered two men who were— II. Demon-dominated, but Not Hopeless (vv. 28-34). There is only one devil, but he has many demons who do his bid ding. The evidence is clear that these demons were able to enter into the personality of a human be ing and take control of the life. This was not insanity or a sickness of the body, but devil domination. These two men (Mark and Luke speak only of one—perhaps the more violent of the two) were so strong and wicked because of the demon in them, that their relatives and friends had given them up as hope less and had sent them out to live in the wilderness. How horrible is the power of the devil in the life of any man or wom an. But let us never forget that while no man can control such a sit uation (Mark 5:4), God is able. “With God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26). We have not done all we can for our devil dominated friends and relatives until we have brought them to Jesus. Notice that the demons recognized Christ as the Son of God (v. 29). They knew that He had the power to control them and that the day was to come when He would judge them. The men were completely cured (Mark 5:15) as the demons were permitted to enter the herd of swine. Those poor beasts, appar ently not content to harbor the evil spirits, cast themselves into the sea. When the people of the land heard what had taken place they asked Jesus to leave. They evidently weighed the relative value of two men in their right mind over against a herd of swine and decided that they could not afford to have men delivered from the devil at such expense. Unfortunately the “descendants” cf those people seem to be in some of our churches today. They can afford anything in the way of lux ury for themselves, but they are sure it costs too much to keep the church open — or to provide a preacher—or suitable equipment for the Lord’s work. How unspeakably sad!
