Memory Selection: "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they ;were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.': Matthew 9: 86. :. - Lesson Text if Matthew 9: 1-9, . '85-38. . As pointed out 'in our lesson for last weekj. Matthew follow his ac count of Jesus' Sermon on" the Mount, by giving Us, -in two chapters, ten . exhibitions of the miraculous powers exercised by Jesus, although these . miracles are not necessarily set down ' in the natural . order of : their bc- , curence. . , ; ' , Taken together, after reading the Sermon which precedes them, these examples of divine love, seeking . to relieve , the sufferings ' of humanity, reveal the eternal hostility of God to any and all forces in life which tend to degrade, afflict or oppress mankind, and show Jesus' concern for mankind in sickness, in: sin1 and in sorrow. ' " These miracles cover a wide range of power, but most of them contain : some peculiarity in the attending cir- cumstances which . make them par- tjcularly noteworthy. Borne of them are among the best-attested facta in the New Testament and have never been contradicted by any serious stu dent. Our lesson for this week opens j, -with the healing of a man stricken with palsy. . Apparently, his limbs were so deceased that he was unable : to walk and bad. to depend upon friends to bring him to -Jesus. Two other ' Gospel writers,' ; Mark (chap, 2) and Luke (chap. 61. give us de tails 6f this account,' which Matthew omits, whereas, Matthew used the term "they,? the others refer to the four who: cams to Jeaufi. brincinsr the sick man on his pallet, or mat. -iwnicn served as his bed. ' Nor does Matthew supply the de Jails of the men, unable to get 'to Jesus, who was teaching in a Pri' vate homeprobably that of Peter-- because of the crowd, were determined to present their friend to the Mas ter for his healing touch and so they cumoea? to-the roof of the house. ,made an opening in the roof and let thewkrrroannwwii iwfrdwtiof' Jesus; Audiences of that day were accus tomed to informality and interrup tions, so lowering the man down through the roof did not create a great stir among the people listening to Jesus. However. Jesus conversa tion with the palsied man did cause excitement. Jesus first words were words of encouragement, 'Be of good cheer." Jesus realized that the man was in need of encouragement and of forgiveness and that is where he .began, in healing his body. - v Through the very act of coming to Jesus, his faith in the healing power of Jesus was made manifest and, be , cause of that faith, Jesus forgave his sin. Knowing that the Phari sees, who were in the crowd, ques tioned this power, he demonstrated his invisible power in spiritual things by working a visible, physical miracle, . enabling the lame man to .walk. This was one 'of the occurrences . which caused the opposition to criticize t Jesus as a blasphemer, because ' he claimed the divine power of forgiving sms. It should be particularly noted that m nearly every,, one of the miracles recorded by Matthew, the essential element was the faith of those con cerned. The leper was healed because he came confident that, Jesus could cure him, saying, "Ij thou wilt, thou canst" The faith of the centurion has been remarked upon and, in still ing the tempest, Jesus was jrivinsr his followers an implified rebuke for their lack of faith. - .. When Jairus came, he-had faith enough to insist that Jesus ".proceed , to his house, even though Mb daughter was dead, in healing two blind men. Jesus specifically inquired as to their faith in his powers In another case, where Jbelpless men were brought to him, those, who -carried them were exhibiting their faith in Ms' healing power. - - , w , ' Foilowng these miracles, Matthew relates his own call to apostlesJu'p. 'He -was a publican, one of the hated tax gatherers for the Roman Government. ..and ceLrad his acceptance of the .call by. a great feast, at which Jesus associated with other publicans and sinners.

It was a great day in the life of primitive man when be learned to put sticks and stones together and build things. From the crude structures of humanity's infancy, the art of building has progressed to its present amazing proportions. Today we have beautiful residences, im posing churches, sprawling factories, tall skyscrapers and far-flung bridges. x - ' Life itself is a building process which begins in In fancy and runs throughout our days. All the knowledge we acquire, all our experi ences, habits, thoughts, i ideals, and emotions are laid block on block to form the pattern of our character. And-the strength of the life we build is mea sured in terms of faith- faith in God and in good. With this faith man can bind together the elements of his life in an enduring struc ture. The Church and the Bible fere the best guides in the building of a life. V. " 11 "iB CHUHCH FOB Alt nor rivii!. rh. 1" con gort ih. Chuwh T Th.Ian,,uP For hi, own ,Sk.Thgr (1) ol hi.
