At the program also the Future Homemakers Club of the high school gave recognition to the 4. Background Scripture: Mark 1:21-45. Devotional Reading: I Corinthians 1: 18-25. When I was a seminary students in the mid 1950's, the miracles of Jesus were a problem for a many of us. The reason: All of us were well-grounded in the basic prin ciples ot science and those prin ciples seemed utterlv unaccom modating to belief in miracles, at least, not as the Bible presented them to us. Some of us found the solution in rationalizing the miracles: Jesus didn't really multiply the loaves and fishes, he simply shamed the crowd into sharing what they had with each other. Sharing is no small miracle, we reasoned. Others of us decided that we could resolve the conflict by main taining that Jesus lived in another "dispensation," a time of super natural events, while we live in another age, the age of reason and science. Some, following the lead of theologian Bultmann, decided that the miracle stories were simply "myths," and could not be ac cepted on a literal basis. And still others avoided the conflict altogether by never thinking about it. Today, the miracles of Jesus need no longer be a stumbling block. New scientific perspectives have helped us to see that, as St. Augustine explained it, "a miracle is not contrary to science, but only to what we know of science." Some of the miracles performed by Jesus are being studied by serious scientists and many acts that at one time might have been labeled "im possible" are how regarded as simply "beyond our present knowledge." Actually, wonderful as the miracles of Jesus are, they are not really as difficult perhaps as some of Jesus' other feats ? acts not regarded as "miraculous." For ex ample, Mark tells us of Jesus' remarkable power to command "unclean spirits." "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?" they cried. "Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." And the crowds grasped the significance of this recognition and exclaimed: "With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him." The obedience of the "unclean spirits" to Jesus' command was certainly impressive. Mark gives us the impression that these spirits obeyed, not willingly, but because they could not withstand the power of Christ. He commanded and they had to obey. They could not say no. More difficult, howerver, was Jesus' ministry to people. Instead of commanding, instead of com pelling people to follow him, Jesus used the much more difficult means of persuasion. The "unclean spirits" he commanded and they had to obey. But Jesus appealed to the crowds? "Follow me and 1 will make you become fishers of men" ? and no one had to obey him. Commanding the spirits was an impressive feat, but calling disciples is always a much more difficult accomplishment. Yet Jesus possessed that power ? "they were astonished. . .for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes." club's seniors who have done outstanding service in the club.
