Moored PAINIg7 Harris Plumbing & Building Hertford, N.C. v 423-5578 - POWER OVER THE DEMONIC , (Mark 1:21-34) Immediately after the call of Simon, Andrew, James,' and John, our Lord and His disciples entered the synagogue at Capernaum. After the reading of the scriptures, the presiding officer Invited any who chose to do so to address the people, whereupon Christ availed Himself of the .op portunity to teach those present concerning the kingdom of God. His teaching was original, direct, novel, and fresh. He taught the Word, told the people that it meant exactly what it said, and then challenged them to believe it and obey it. This method of teaching has never been surpassed. Both the content of Christ's message and the note of authority with which He spoke made a profound impression on the people. Into the tranquility of that synagogue came a demon possessed man, but for what purpose is unknown. If Satan instigated the episode, he must have been chagrined by what followed. The presence of Christ disturbed the unclean spirit in the man and made him vocal. Despising his flat tery, and refusing to accept a testimony from him, our Lord commanded the evil spirit to hold his peace and to come out of the man. The demon threw the man into convulsions, laid him prostrate on the floor, and, much against the demon's will, as his loud cry indicated, then came out of the man. Naturally the people were amazed at Christ's power to cast outdemons. . . i If even the demon obeyed our Lord when He commanded him, how much more should we, as Christians saved by grace, render Him the unreserved obedience of loving and grateful hearts. Upon arriving home, with Christ, James and John as their guests, Peter and Andrew found Peter's mother-in-law sick with a raging fever. Naturally their first impulse was to tell Christ about the situation and need. Because of their faith in His power to heal, they did not lose any time in telling Christ CARD OF THANKS We, the family of Thomas E. Harrell, wish to take this means to express our sincere thanks to each and everyone who remembered us in any way during the illness and death of our loved one. For the beautiful flowers, cards, gifts, visits and prayers and all other acts of kindness shown, we are deeply grateful. I; . Mrs. Thomas E. Harrell DEAR FRIENDS. I wish to thank each of you for your cards, visits.' gifts, food, flowers, and especially your prayers while I was a patient in the hospital and during my convalescence at home. Thdughts and prayers of friends are so meaning ful at a time of illness. May Our Lord grant you peace, health, and happiness each day of this New Year. Zenova White. about her illness. Without suggesting what He should do, they simply told Christ about the situation and then left the matter entirely with Him. In this we have a splendid exam ple. And what a blessed privilege to tell our Lord about everything. r, . . , ; . ., Although He was there as a guest, Christ could not remain long without bringing whatever blessing might be needed.. Regardless of what the need in any home may be, there is sufficient grace and power in Christ to meet it. Out of a codk passionate heart for the woman who had succumbed to the. weaknesses of the flesh, Christ did that which no one else had the power to do. Going to her bedside, Christ took her by' the hand, raised her up, and made her well. The healing was instantaneous and nerfect. There vm nn naA fa of convalescence, for she was healed instantly and restored completely. Contrary to experience, for one who has been, desperately ill with a raging fever to arise immediately when the fever breaks and resume her ordinary household tasks, she began to minister to others. Ministering to others i', the name of Christ is the first thing that any person wild do after having been healed of the fever of sin by the G. eat Physician. Service is one proof of healine. and if one does not serve, what evidence is there that he has been healed? When one is saved, he should be anxious to begin serving immediately. Those witnessing the miracle in the synagogue had returned to their homes. During the day many heard about the miracle. The news of Christ's exercising power over demons stirred many with the hope that He would do, for their loved ones and friends who were afflicted, what they believed He could do. At sunset, which ended the Sabbath, the inhabitants of Capernaum and the surrounding area: brought the sick and demon-possessed to Christ in large numbers. Christ did something for all of them. No demon or disease was able to resist Him. He cured the ailments of all. Christ will always do something for those who come to Him, or for those who are brought to Him. Whatever the need. He is able to supply it. Isn't it interesting that Christ refused to allow the demons to declare His identity? This is another evidence of the fact that He counts on His followers to witness for Him. He ac cepts the testimony of those who follow Him, but restricts that service to them. Christ appreciates, blesses, and uses the testimony of those who follow Him , The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is written by Dr H.C.
