Introduction to the Lesson by REV. GORDON A. PEDDIE, follows the: apparently paradoxical in the eonfirmatioi of faith is to be observed in the case of the father Who comes to, Jesus "beseeching hien to east out of hie eon the dumb spirit, Jesus says to the Mather, "If thou canst believe all things are possible. to him that believetb," And then Lesson Text -Mark 1:29-45. Golden Text -Mark 1:34. The verse selected as Golden Text for this week's lesson gives a good indication of the verbal content of the entire,lesson text: "And he healed many that were sick." The question which we must seek to answer, how- ever, is "What is the inner meaning of this verbal content?" And this leads us to ask the general question "What place must be given to miracles in the ministry' of Jesus?" ` Do the, miracles of healing show that 'Jesus is concerned .primarily with the phy- sical needs of men? Do they show that while concerned primarily with the spiritual yet Jesus Was not neg- lectful of the physical? Or ought we to distinguish at all between primary and secondary, between spiritual and physical, needs? Ought we not rath- er say that Jesus comes to redeem man, God's fallen creation, in his, en- tirety; and that even this redemp- tion itself is but the secondary man - ward side of God's revelation which is primarily the manifestation, with- in the fallen world, of the faithful- ness of God. Primarily the miracles recorded in this first chapter of Mark are not concerned at all with man's needs, physical or spiritual, - these miracles purport to act as testimon- ies to the faithfulness of God, and to declare that "the time is indeed fulfilled, and the kingdom of GOD is et hand," (Mark 1:14,15). Conse- quently we may say, the aim of the miracles is not fundamentally to heal the body; nor is it fundamentally to create faith: the ultimate aim of the miracles is to cenfirm in the faith- ful (in those upon whom God has al- ready bestowed the gift of faith) the knowledge of the faithfulness of God. It is certain. that Jesus placed no confidence in the power of the mirac- ulous as such. He did not look to the miraculous to create faith in his people. Indeed one o£ the most pro- found meanings of the temptations which Jesus endured at the outset of his ministry is seen in that Jesus stedfastly refused. to use the mira- culous in the accomplishment of his mission. (Mark 1:12,13; Matt. 4:1-12), For Jesus any visible display of di- vinity wouici not only have been a denial of the nature of the Unseen rnd, but also it would have been a denial of his own nature as the Re- deemer whose task it was to bear in his humanity, in all its importance, our Sin. The powerlessness of the miraculous ko create faith is indicated clearly in the third chapter of the Gospel ac-. cording to St. John, Nicodemus has seen the outward visible working of the power of Jesus over the bodies ..n.ru. statement f m of theother "Lord I be lieve, help thou my unbelief" -where- upon Jesus casts out the evil spirit. 1 (Mark 9:23,24). In our lesson text the leper, having asserted his faith in the power of Semis, "if thou wilt; thou canst make me clean," finds his faith confirmed in the knowledge that Jesus is not only able, but willing also, to cleanse him:: and the 'sign' is then performed, (Maack 1:40-42). The 'lurch today has largely, uni- ted with the worldand clamours of-. ter Jesus to make among us a vie- ible manifestation of his power. "An evil and adulterous generation", un- able toendure weakness, unable to 'walk by faith alone, "seeketh after a sign" in sorne new economic security and numerical success and spiritual "revival" (some new "piety") but "there shall n. osign be given to it!" (Matt. 12:39; Mark 8:11,12). Yet it ever remains true that faith, rejoic- ing in its tribulation, deprived of visible supports, knows also that the "signs" are ever present, and because of them faith glories in the faithful- ness of God. of men, Because of these miracles which he has seen Nicodemus is inov- ed tiie,acknowledge that Jesus is in- deed 'a great man,' In his own words his testimony is this „"We know that thou art a teacher come from God: for' no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him" (John 3':2). But the knowledge that -Jesus is the Christ, the Son of 'God, and the Saviocn' of the world, Nicodemus has not learn- ed, and can not learn from miracles -such knowledge Fomes only . "from above" (John 3:3), by the work of the Spirit, in the gift of faith. If this knowledge which comes from a- bove, if this faith, be present, then the miracies speak, confirming faith: if this knowledge and this faith be absent then the miracles are empty and meaningless "signs." (Note that the word translated `miracles' in some passages in the Gospels is, in other passages, translated `signs' -see, for example the above reference in John 3:2 and compare it with John 20:30. The best passage is perhaps the one taken from Mark's Gospel foie it in- dicates, in agreement with our word above, the nature, or the purpose, of the 'miracles': the disciples "went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and con- firming the word with `sign' follow ing" (Mark 16:20), There is ample evidence to show that the miraculous in itself, so far from. furthering Jesus' mission, is constantly rising before hint as an obstacle in his path. Having fed the multitudes by the miracle of mul- tiplying the loaves they throng after him to take him by force and make hint a king (the indefinite article is of great significance of their esti- mation of Jesus', a "bread -and -fish- es" king to rule over them -that is, to feed them (John 6:15). Jesus' own attitude toward the multitude is seen in his words to them onthe day following the miracle, "Ye seek rue, not because ye saw (that is, "under- stood") the "signs", but because ye did eat the Ioaves and were filled" (John 6:26 and note carefully Y the verses which follow). Already in the first chapter of Mark the evidences are not lacking that the miracles in themselves chid not assist, but rather hindered, Jesus. Told by the disciples that his popular- 'ity is assured and that "all sten seek after thee", Jesus replies, "let us go into the next towns." And later the curious mob so throngs after the "wonder -worker" that he can "no, more openly enter into the city but' was without in desert places" (Mark! 1:37,30,45).
