00:00:22Let us pray.

00:00:50Let us pray.

00:00:54And through your mercy be introduced as an adopted son into the heavenly inheritance.

00:01:01Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who in the midst of reproach and injury bore your cross

00:01:07with excessive pain on your sacred and cut shoulders.

00:01:13Wearied and panting for breath, you toiled exceedingly under its heavy weight.

00:01:19Give me grace to take hold of the cross of self-denial with ardent devotion and to imitate with the

00:01:25most fervent of charity the example of your virtues and to follow you in humility even unto death.

00:01:38Let us pray.

00:01:46Let us pray.

00:01:49Draw me after you that I may quickly follow. Grant that for your sake I may entirely deny, forsake and

00:01:57go out of myself.

00:01:59Give me grace to think of you alone and to find no joy except in you, my Redeemer.

00:02:07Grant that I may love you alone and may return love for love. May I earnestly seek after you and

00:02:14live to you alone.

00:02:18Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who when bowed down by the weight of your cross at

00:02:24length reached the place of punishment, where, quite exhausted, they offered you wine mingled with gall.

00:02:34May you extinguish in me all. May you extinguish in me all gluttonous and carnal desire, giving me grace never

00:02:40to consent to any impure or unlawful pleasure.

00:02:45But may I take my food in moderation to the glory of your name and may hunger and thirst after

00:02:51you alone and find no pleasure or gladness except in you.

00:02:58Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who was stripped before the gaze of all people on Mount

00:03:04Calvary and the soreness of your wounds being increased by the removal of your clothing.

00:03:11You did not refuse to seek the most dreadful pain. Grant that I may love the spirit of poverty and

00:03:20never be disturbed by want or scarcity.

00:03:24Give me grace to bear patiently any difficulties or troubles in this life for the glory of your name.

00:03:31Strip my heart of every vain fancy and affection and grant me a holy intent with pious desires, renewing within

00:03:41me daily a most pure love for yourself.

00:03:45Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who gave himself up to be extended naked upon the wood

00:03:53of the cross and the joints of your most holy limbs to be wrenched apart, most cruelly nailed and fastened

00:04:00thereto.

00:04:02Then, for my sake, you suffered your most delicate hands and feet to be most deeply wounded.

00:04:10Grant, O Lord, that I might remember with a faithful and grateful heart this your unspeakable charity, when you did

00:04:20of your own accord stretch out your hands to be bald and your feet to be pierced through.

00:04:26O Lord, enlarge and extend my heart by perfect love of you, pierce it and fix it to yourself with

00:04:34the nail of your sweetest love, and shut up within yourself alone all my senses, all my thoughts, and all

00:04:42my affections. Amen.

00:04:48O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:04:59O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:25O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:35O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:46O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:50O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:51O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:54O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:55O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.

00:05:55For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting,

00:06:04and his good and joy from generation to generation.

00:06:17Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,

00:06:24and to the believers, as it was in the beginning,

00:06:33is now and ever shall be, world without end.

00:06:45Amen.

00:07:04Amen.

00:07:08Amen.

00:07:10Amen.

00:09:28Amen.

00:09:32Amen.

00:09:47The Gospel according to Saint Mark, Chapter 1.

00:09:53Then they went to Capernaum.

00:09:56When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

00:10:02The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the

00:10:10experts in the law.

00:10:13Just then there was a man at the synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, Leave us alone,

00:10:21Jesus the Nazarene.

00:10:22Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.

00:10:30But Jesus rebuked him, Silence, come out of him.

00:10:35After throwing him in convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

00:10:44They were all amazed, so that they asked one another, What is this? Are you teaching with authority? He even

00:10:53commands the unclean spirits, and they obeyed him.

00:10:57And so the news about him quickly spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

00:11:06Now as they left the synagogue, they entered Simon and Andrew's house with James and John.

00:11:13Simon's mother-in-law was lying down sick with a fever, and so they spoke to Jesus at once about

00:11:20her.

00:11:21He came and raised her up, gently taking her hand.

00:11:25The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

00:11:30When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed.

00:11:37The whole town gathered by the dawn.

00:11:40So he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and drove out many demons.

00:11:47But he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.

00:11:55Then Jesus got up early in the morning, whilst it was still dark, and departed, going to a deserted place.

00:12:03And there he spent time in prayer.

00:12:06Simon and his companions searched for him.

00:12:10When they found him, they said, Everyone is looking for you.

00:12:14He replied, Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I may preach there too.

00:12:23For that is what I came out here to do.

00:12:26So he went into all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues, and casting out demons.

00:12:35Now a leper came to him, and fell to his knees, asking for help.

00:12:41If you are willing, you may make me clean, he said.

00:12:45Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying,

00:12:51I am willing, be clean.

00:12:54The leprosy left him at once, and he was clean.

00:12:59Immediately, Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning.

00:13:03He said to him, See that you do not say anything to anyone but go.

00:13:08Share yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.

00:13:17But as the man went out, he began to announce it publicly.

00:13:22And so the story spread widely, and Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly, but stayed outside

00:13:31in remote places.

00:13:33But still, they kept coming to him from everywhere.

00:13:48The worship in the synagogue, not having been instituted by Moses, but gradually developed by the public need,

00:13:57was a comparatively free and unconventional affair.

00:14:03Sometimes it would happen that a remarkable and serious-looking stranger would be invited if they had a word of

00:14:10exhortation to say,

00:14:12as we see in Acts chapter 13, verse 15.

00:14:18Sometimes one presented himself, as the custom of our Lord was, Luke 4, 16.

00:14:26Amid the dull mechanical tendencies which were then turning the hearts of Judaism to stone,

00:14:33the synagogue may often be seen as a centre of life, a rallying place of freedom.

00:14:41In Galilee, where such worship predominated over that of the remote temple and its hierarchy,

00:14:49Jesus found his trusted followers and the nucleus of the church.

00:14:55In foreign lands, St. Paul bore first to his brethren in their synagogues the strange tidings that their Messiah had

00:15:03expired upon a cross.

00:15:07Before his rupture with the chiefs of Judaism, the synagogues were fitting places for our Lord's early teaching.

00:15:16He made use of the existing system as he found it and applied it,

00:15:20just as we have seen him use the teaching of the Baptist as a starting point for his end.

00:15:29So this ought to be observed, that Jesus revolutionised the world by methods the furthest from being revolutionary.

00:15:41The institutions of his age and land were corrupt well nigh to the core,

00:15:46but he did not therefore make a clean sweep and began again.

00:15:50He did not turn his back on the temple and the synagogue, nor outrage the Sabbath, nor come to destroy

00:15:57the law and the prophets.

00:15:59But he bade his followers reverence the seat where the scribes and the Pharisees sat.

00:16:08He drew the line of their false lives and perilous examples.

00:16:13Amid that evil generation, he found soil wherein his seed might germinate,

00:16:19and was content to hide his limb in the lump where it would gradually work out its destiny.

00:16:27In so doing, he was at one with providence,

00:16:31which had slowly evolved the convictions of the Old Testament,

00:16:35spending centuries in the process.

00:16:39Now the power which belongs to such moderation

00:16:42has scarcely been recognised until these latter days.

00:16:48But who taught the carpenter?

00:16:51It is therefore significant that all the Gospels of the Galilean ministry

00:16:55connect our Lord's early teaching with the synagogue.

00:17:02St Mark is by no means the evangelist of the discourses.

00:17:06This adds to the interest with which we find him indicates with precise exactitude

00:17:13the first great difference that would strike the hearers of Christ

00:17:17between his teaching and that of others.

00:17:21He taught with authority, not as scribes.

00:17:25Their doctrine was built with dreary and irrational ingenuity

00:17:30upon perverted views of the old law.

00:17:35The shape of a Hebrew letter,

00:17:37words whereof the initials would spell some important name.

00:17:41Wire-drawn inferences,

00:17:43astounding illusions, ingenuity such as men waste

00:17:46now upon the number of the beast

00:17:49and the measurement of the pyramid.

00:17:51These were the doctrine of the scribes of the time of Jesus.

00:17:59An acute observer might remark

00:18:02that the authority of Christ's teaching

00:18:04was peculiar in a further-reaching sense.

00:18:08If, as it seems clear, Jesus said,

00:18:12you have heard that it has been said,

00:18:14not by, but, but,

00:18:17to the old time,

00:18:19but I say to you.

00:18:22Then he claimed a place,

00:18:24not of Moses, who heard the divine voice,

00:18:26but of him who spoke.

00:18:29Even if this could be doubted,

00:18:31the same spirit is elsewhere unmistakable.

00:18:35The tables which Moses brought

00:18:37were inscribed by the finger of another.

00:18:41No one could make him the supreme arbitrator,

00:18:45while overhead the trumpet waxed louder and louder,

00:18:49while the fiery pillar marshaled their journey,

00:18:52while the mysterious presence

00:18:54consecrated the mysterious shrine.

00:18:58Prophet after prophet opened and closed their message

00:19:02with the words,

00:19:03Thus says the Lord,

00:19:05for the mouth of the Lord spoke it.

00:19:09Jesus, however, was content with,

00:19:13Verily I say to you,

00:19:15blessed as a wise builder was the hearer

00:19:18and doer of these words of mine.

00:19:22Everywhere in his teaching,

00:19:24the centre of authority is personal.

00:19:27He distinctly recognises the facts

00:19:30that he is adding to the range

00:19:31of the ancient law of respect

00:19:33for human life,

00:19:35for purity,

00:19:36veracity,

00:19:37and kindness.

00:19:39But he assigns no authority

00:19:42for these additions beyond his own.

00:19:46Persecution by all men

00:19:47is a blessed thing to endure,

00:19:50if it be for his sake

00:19:52and for the gospel.

00:19:54Now this is unique.

00:19:57Moses,

00:19:58or Isaiah,

00:19:59never dreamt

00:20:00that devotion to himself

00:20:02took rank with devotion

00:20:04to his message.

00:20:05And nor did St. Paul.

00:20:08But Christ opens his ministry

00:20:10with the same pretensions

00:20:12as at the close.

00:20:14When no other

00:20:15may be called rabbi

00:20:17nor master

00:20:18because these titles

00:20:20belong solely to him.

00:20:24The lapse of ages

00:20:26renders this authority of Christ

00:20:29more wonderful than at first.

00:20:32The world bows down

00:20:34before something other

00:20:35than his clearness of logic

00:20:38or subtlety of inference.

00:20:41He still announces

00:20:42where others argue.

00:20:44He reveals,

00:20:46imposes on us

00:20:47his supremacy,

00:20:48bids us take

00:20:49his yoke

00:20:50and learn.

00:20:53We still discover

00:20:54in his teaching

00:20:55a freshness

00:20:56and depth,

00:20:57a universal reach

00:20:58of application

00:20:59and yet

00:21:00an unearthliness

00:21:01of aspect

00:21:02which suit

00:21:04so unparalleled

00:21:05a claim.

00:21:07Others

00:21:08have constructed

00:21:09cisterns

00:21:10in which

00:21:10to store truth

00:21:11or aqueducts

00:21:12to convey it

00:21:13from higher levels.

00:21:16Christ himself

00:21:17is a fountain

00:21:18and not only so

00:21:19but the water

00:21:21which he gives

00:21:22when received correctly

00:21:24becomes in the faithful hearts

00:21:26a well of water

00:21:26springing up

00:21:27in new

00:21:28inexhaustible

00:21:29developments.

00:21:34We have recently

00:21:36read

00:21:37that Christ's

00:21:38teaching

00:21:39astonished

00:21:40the hearers.

00:21:42He was about

00:21:43to astonish

00:21:43them further

00:21:44for we have reached

00:21:46the first miracle

00:21:46which St Mark

00:21:47records.

00:21:49With what sentiments

00:21:50should such a narrative

00:21:52be approached?

00:21:54The evangelist

00:21:56connects it

00:21:57emphatically

00:21:58with Christ's

00:21:59assertion

00:22:00of authority.

00:22:03Immediately

00:22:04upon the impression

00:22:05which his manner

00:22:05of teaching

00:22:06produced

00:22:06straight away

00:22:08there was

00:22:08in the synagogue

00:22:09a man

00:22:10with an unclean

00:22:11spirit.

00:22:13Upon its

00:22:14expulsion

00:22:14what impressed

00:22:16the people

00:22:16was that

00:22:17he talked

00:22:17with authority

00:22:18so

00:22:19with authority

00:22:21he commands

00:22:21even the unclean

00:22:23spirits

00:22:23and they

00:22:24obey him.

00:22:26Let us try

00:22:27whether

00:22:28this may not

00:22:30be a providential

00:22:31clue

00:22:31to guide us

00:22:33amid the

00:22:34embarrassment

00:22:34which beset

00:22:35in our day

00:22:37the whole subject

00:22:38of miracles.

00:22:42A miracle

00:22:43we are told

00:22:44is an interference

00:22:46with the basic

00:22:47laws of nature.

00:22:48It is impossible

00:22:50because they

00:22:51are fixed

00:22:51and their

00:22:52operation

00:22:53is uniform.

00:22:55But these

00:22:56bold words

00:22:57do not

00:22:57need

00:22:58disconcert

00:22:59anyone

00:22:59who has

00:23:00learned to

00:23:00ask

00:23:01in what

00:23:02sense

00:23:02are the

00:23:03operations

00:23:03of nature

00:23:04uniform?

00:23:06Is the

00:23:07operation

00:23:07of the

00:23:08law

00:23:08which

00:23:08governed

00:23:09the wind

00:23:09uniform?

00:23:11Whether

00:23:11am I

00:23:12held

00:23:12Mr.

00:23:12Port

00:23:13or

00:23:13Starbord?

00:23:14Can I

00:23:15not modify

00:23:16the

00:23:16operation

00:23:17of sanitary

00:23:18laws

00:23:18by using

00:23:19a deodorant

00:23:20by drainage

00:23:22by a

00:23:22thousand

00:23:23resources

00:23:24of

00:23:24civilization?

00:23:27The truth

00:23:27is clearly

00:23:28that while

00:23:29natural laws

00:23:30remain fixed

00:23:30human

00:23:31intelligence

00:23:32profoundly

00:23:33modifies

00:23:34their

00:23:34operation.

00:23:36How then

00:23:37can an

00:23:38objector

00:23:39prove that

00:23:39a higher

00:23:40being

00:23:40can also

00:23:41as naturally

00:23:42do the

00:23:42same?

00:23:44He might

00:23:45answer us

00:23:46because the

00:23:47sum total

00:23:47of the

00:23:48forces of

00:23:48nature

00:23:48is a

00:23:49fixed

00:23:49quantity.

00:23:50Nothing

00:23:51can be

00:23:51added to

00:23:52that sum

00:23:52neither

00:23:53can anything

00:23:54be taken

00:23:54away from

00:23:55it.

00:23:57The

00:23:58energy of

00:23:59all our

00:23:59machines

00:23:59existed

00:24:01ages ago

00:24:02in the

00:24:02heat of

00:24:03the tropical

00:24:03sun,

00:24:04then in

00:24:05vegetation

00:24:06and ever

00:24:07since,

00:24:07though latent

00:24:08in our

00:24:09coal beds

00:24:10and oil

00:24:11and gas

00:24:11reserves.

00:24:13The claim

00:24:14to add

00:24:14anything to

00:24:15that total

00:24:16is subversive

00:24:17of modern

00:24:18science.

00:24:20But again

00:24:21we might

00:24:22ask,

00:24:23if a doctor

00:24:24adds nothing

00:24:25to the

00:24:25sum of

00:24:25forces

00:24:26when he

00:24:27rids us

00:24:27of one

00:24:28disease

00:24:28by vaccination

00:24:29and another

00:24:30by draining

00:24:31a marsh,

00:24:32why must

00:24:33Jesus have

00:24:34added to

00:24:35the sum of

00:24:36forces in

00:24:37order to

00:24:38expel a

00:24:39demon

00:24:39or cool

00:24:41a fever?

00:24:43It will

00:24:43not suffice

00:24:44to answer

00:24:45because his

00:24:46methods are

00:24:46contrary to

00:24:47experience.

00:24:49Surely

00:24:50they are

00:24:50beyond our

00:24:51experience.

00:24:54But so

00:24:55were the

00:24:55marvels of

00:24:56computers to

00:24:57our parents

00:24:58and of

00:24:59electricity to

00:25:00their parents.

00:25:01The chemistry

00:25:03which analyses

00:25:04the stars

00:25:04is not

00:25:05incredible,

00:25:06although a

00:25:07century ago

00:25:08its methods

00:25:09were contrary

00:25:10to the

00:25:11universal

00:25:11experience of

00:25:12humanity.

00:25:14Man can

00:25:15now do

00:25:15what he

00:25:16never did

00:25:16before,

00:25:17because he

00:25:17is a more

00:25:18skilful and

00:25:19better informed

00:25:19agent than

00:25:20he ever was

00:25:21even 50

00:25:23years ago.

00:25:25Perhaps at

00:25:26this moment,

00:25:26in a laboratory

00:25:27of some

00:25:28unknown

00:25:28student,

00:25:29some new

00:25:30force is

00:25:30preparing to

00:25:32amaze the

00:25:32world.

00:25:34But the

00:25:35sum of the

00:25:35forces of

00:25:36nature will

00:25:37remain unchanged.

00:25:39So why

00:25:40is it assumed

00:25:41that a

00:25:42miracle must

00:25:42change them?

00:25:44Simply

00:25:45because men

00:25:46have already

00:25:47denied God,

00:25:48or at least

00:25:48denied that

00:25:49he is present

00:25:50within his

00:25:52world,

00:25:52just as the

00:25:54chemist is

00:25:54within it.

00:25:56If we think

00:25:57of him as

00:25:57interrupting its

00:25:58processes from

00:26:00without,

00:26:01laying upon the

00:26:02vast machine so

00:26:03powerful the

00:26:04grasp as to

00:26:05arrest its

00:26:06working,

00:26:07then indeed

00:26:08the sum of

00:26:08forces is

00:26:09disturbed,

00:26:10and the

00:26:11complaints of

00:26:11science are

00:26:12justified.

00:26:15This may,

00:26:16or it may not,

00:26:17have been the

00:26:17case in our

00:26:18creative epoch,

00:26:20in which science

00:26:21knows no more

00:26:22than of the

00:26:23beginning of

00:26:24life and of

00:26:24consciousness.

00:26:25consciousness.

00:26:26But it has

00:26:27nothing to say

00:26:28against the

00:26:29doctrine of the

00:26:30miracles of

00:26:30Christ.

00:26:32For this

00:26:33doctrine assumes

00:26:34that God is

00:26:34ever-present in

00:26:35the universe,

00:26:36that by him

00:26:38all things

00:26:39consist,

00:26:40that he is not

00:26:41far from any

00:26:42one of us,

00:26:43for in him we

00:26:44live, move,

00:26:45and have our

00:26:46being,

00:26:47though we may

00:26:48be as

00:26:49unconscious of

00:26:50him, as of

00:26:51gravity and of

00:26:52electrical impulses.

00:26:55When these

00:26:56became known to

00:26:57man, the

00:26:58stability of

00:26:59law was

00:26:59unaffected.

00:27:02It is a

00:27:03wild assumption

00:27:04that if a

00:27:05supreme and

00:27:06vital force

00:27:07exists, a

00:27:08living God,

00:27:10he cannot make

00:27:10his energies

00:27:11visible without

00:27:12affecting the

00:27:13stability of

00:27:14law.

00:27:18Christ himself

00:27:19appeals expressly

00:27:21and repeatedly

00:27:22to this

00:27:23imminent presence

00:27:24of God as

00:27:26the explanation

00:27:26of all his

00:27:28works.

00:27:29My father

00:27:30works, and

00:27:31therefore I

00:27:32work.

00:27:33The father

00:27:34loves the

00:27:34son and

00:27:35shows him

00:27:36all the

00:27:36things that

00:27:37he does

00:27:37himself.

00:27:38I, by

00:27:40the finger

00:27:40of God,

00:27:42cast out

00:27:42devils.

00:27:46Thus, a

00:27:47miracle, even

00:27:48in the Old

00:27:49Testament, is

00:27:49not an

00:27:50interruption of

00:27:51law by

00:27:51God, but

00:27:52a manifestation

00:27:53of God, who

00:27:55is within

00:27:55nature always.

00:27:58To common

00:27:59events, it is

00:28:00comparable to

00:28:02the lightning

00:28:02and the

00:28:03cloud, a

00:28:04revelation of

00:28:05the electricity

00:28:06which was

00:28:06already there.

00:28:09God was

00:28:10made known

00:28:10when invoked

00:28:11by his

00:28:12agents inside

00:28:13signs from

00:28:14heaven, in

00:28:15fire, in

00:28:15tempest, drought

00:28:17and pestilence, a

00:28:18God who judges.

00:28:20These are the

00:28:21miracles of God

00:28:22interposing for

00:28:23his people against

00:28:24their foes.

00:28:26But the

00:28:27miracles of

00:28:28Christ are those

00:28:28of God carrying

00:28:29forward to the

00:28:30uttermost his

00:28:31presence in the

00:28:32world, God

00:28:34in the flesh.

00:28:36They are the

00:28:36works of him

00:28:37in whom dwells

00:28:38the fullness of

00:28:39the Godhead

00:28:40bodily.

00:28:43this explains

00:28:44what might

00:28:45otherwise be so

00:28:46perplexing, the

00:28:47essentially different

00:28:48nature of his

00:28:49miracles from

00:28:50those recorded

00:28:51in the Old

00:28:52Testament.

00:28:56Infidelity

00:28:56pretends that

00:28:58those are the

00:28:58models on which

00:28:59the myth or

00:29:00legend formed

00:29:01the miracles of

00:29:02Jesus.

00:29:03But the plain

00:29:04answer is that

00:29:05they are built

00:29:06on their model

00:29:07of the kind.

00:29:09The difference

00:29:09is so great

00:29:10as to be

00:29:11startling.

00:29:14Tremendous

00:29:14convulsions and

00:29:16visitations of

00:29:17wrath are now

00:29:18unknown because

00:29:20God is now

00:29:21reconciling the

00:29:22world to himself

00:29:22and exhibiting in

00:29:24miracles the

00:29:25presence of him

00:29:25who is so not

00:29:27very far from

00:29:28every one of us.

00:29:29His presence in

00:29:30love to redeem

00:29:31the common life

00:29:32of man and to

00:29:33bless by sharing

00:29:35it, and

00:29:36therefore his

00:29:37gifts are

00:29:37homely.

00:29:38They deal with

00:29:39the average life

00:29:40and its

00:29:41necessities.

00:29:42Bread, wine

00:29:43and fish are

00:29:45more to the

00:29:45purpose than

00:29:46that man should

00:29:47eat angels'

00:29:48food, the

00:29:49rescue of the

00:29:49storm-tossed

00:29:50fishermen than

00:29:51the engulfment

00:29:52of pursuing

00:29:53armies, the

00:29:55healing of the

00:29:55prevalent disease

00:29:57than the

00:29:57plaguing of

00:29:58Egypt or the

00:30:00destruction of

00:30:01Sennacherib.

00:30:03Surely such

00:30:04a presence

00:30:05thus shown is

00:30:07the consistent

00:30:08doctrine of

00:30:09the church.

00:30:10It is a

00:30:11theory which

00:30:11men may reject

00:30:12at their own

00:30:13peril if they

00:30:14please, but

00:30:16they must not

00:30:16pretend to

00:30:17refute it by

00:30:18any appeal to

00:30:19either the

00:30:20uniformity of

00:30:21the law or

00:30:22the stability

00:30:23of force.

00:30:28Men tell us

00:30:29that the divinity

00:30:30of Jesus was

00:30:31an afterthought.

00:30:33what shall we

00:30:34say then to

00:30:34this fact,

00:30:35that men

00:30:36observed from

00:30:37the very first

00:30:38a difference

00:30:39between the

00:30:39manner of his

00:30:40miracles and

00:30:41those recorded

00:30:42in their

00:30:43scriptures, or

00:30:45that they could

00:30:45have deemed

00:30:46fit.

00:30:47It is exactly

00:30:49the same

00:30:49peculiarity carried

00:30:51to the highest

00:30:52pitch as they

00:30:53already felt in

00:30:54his discourses.

00:30:56They are

00:30:56brought without

00:30:57any reference

00:30:58whatsoever to a

00:30:59superior will.

00:31:01Moses cried out

00:31:03to the Lord

00:31:03saying,

00:31:04what shall I

00:31:05do?

00:31:07Elijah said,

00:31:09hear me,

00:31:10O Lord,

00:31:10hear me.

00:31:12But Jesus

00:31:13said,

00:31:14I will.

00:31:15I charge you,

00:31:17come out.

00:31:18I am able

00:31:19to do this.

00:31:24So marked is

00:31:25this change

00:31:26that even

00:31:27his followers

00:31:28cast out

00:31:28devils in

00:31:29his name

00:31:29and say

00:31:30not,

00:31:31where is

00:31:31the Lord

00:31:31God of

00:31:32Israel,

00:31:32but in

00:31:33the name

00:31:34of Jesus

00:31:34Christ of

00:31:35Nazareth.

00:31:37His power

00:31:38is inherent,

00:31:39it is

00:31:40self-possessed,

00:31:41and his

00:31:42acts in

00:31:42the synoptics

00:31:43are only

00:31:44explained by

00:31:45his words

00:31:46in St.

00:31:46John.

00:31:49Whatever

00:31:49things the

00:31:50father does,

00:31:51these also

00:31:52the son

00:31:52does in

00:31:53a similar

00:31:54manner.

00:31:57No wonder

00:31:58then that

00:31:58St.

00:31:59Mark's

00:31:59had to

00:31:59his very

00:32:00first

00:32:00record of

00:32:01a miracle

00:32:01that the

00:32:02people were

00:32:03amazed and

00:32:03asked,

00:32:04what is

00:32:04this,

00:32:05this new

00:32:06teaching?

00:32:07With

00:32:07authority he

00:32:08commands even

00:32:09the unclean

00:32:10spirits,

00:32:10and they

00:32:11obey him.

00:32:13It was at

00:32:14a divinity

00:32:15which,

00:32:16without

00:32:16recognizing it,

00:32:18they felt

00:32:18implicit in

00:32:19his bearing.

00:32:21No wonder

00:32:22also that

00:32:23his enemies

00:32:23strove so

00:32:25hard to

00:32:25make him

00:32:26say,

00:32:27who gave

00:32:28you this

00:32:28authority?

00:32:30Nor could

00:32:31they succeed

00:32:31in drawing

00:32:32from him

00:32:32any sign

00:32:33from heaven.

00:32:36The center

00:32:37and source

00:32:37of the

00:32:38supernatural

00:32:38for human

00:32:40apprehension

00:32:40has shifted

00:32:42itself.

00:32:42the vision

00:32:44of Jesus

00:32:44is the

00:32:45vision

00:32:46of the

00:32:46Father

00:32:46also.

00:32:51So we

00:32:52have seen

00:32:53that belief

00:32:53in the

00:32:54stability

00:32:54of natural

00:32:55law

00:32:55does not

00:32:56forbid us

00:32:57believing

00:32:57in miracles.

00:33:02But there

00:33:03are special

00:33:04objections,

00:33:05however,

00:33:06against the

00:33:06belief in

00:33:07demonic

00:33:08possession.

00:33:10the very

00:33:11existence of

00:33:12demons is

00:33:12declared to

00:33:13be inconsistent

00:33:14with the

00:33:15omnipotence of

00:33:16God, or

00:33:17else with

00:33:18his goodness.

00:33:20It may be

00:33:21granted that

00:33:22an abstract

00:33:23reasoning in

00:33:24an ideal

00:33:24world,

00:33:26thoughts moving

00:33:27in a vacuum,

00:33:29would scarcely

00:33:29evolve the

00:33:30state of

00:33:30things so far

00:33:31removed from

00:33:32this ideal.

00:33:35this, however,

00:33:36is an argument

00:33:37against the

00:33:37existence, not

00:33:39of demons, but

00:33:40of evil in

00:33:41any shape.

00:33:43It is the

00:33:43familiar,

00:33:44insoluble

00:33:45problem of

00:33:46all religion.

00:33:48How might

00:33:49evil exist in

00:33:50the universe

00:33:51of God?

00:33:53And is it

00:33:54balanced by

00:33:55the insoluble

00:33:56problem of

00:33:56all irreligious

00:33:58systems?

00:33:59If the

00:34:00universe is

00:34:01without God,

00:34:02then how can

00:34:03either good

00:34:04or evil

00:34:04exist, as

00:34:06distinguished from

00:34:08the advantageous

00:34:09and the

00:34:10unprofitable?

00:34:12Where does

00:34:13this unquestionable

00:34:14difference between

00:34:15a lie and

00:34:16bad?

00:34:19But the

00:34:20argument against

00:34:22evil spirits

00:34:22professes to

00:34:24be something

00:34:24more than

00:34:25the disguised

00:34:26reproduction of

00:34:27this abstract

00:34:28problem.

00:34:30So what

00:34:31more is it?

00:34:32What is

00:34:32gained by

00:34:33denying the

00:34:34fiends?

00:34:35As long as

00:34:36we cannot

00:34:36deny the

00:34:37fiends

00:34:37incarnate,

00:34:40the men

00:34:41who take

00:34:42pleasure in

00:34:43unrighteousness,

00:34:44in the

00:34:45seduction and

00:34:46ruin of

00:34:46their fellows,

00:34:47in the

00:34:48infliction of

00:34:48torture and

00:34:49outrage, in

00:34:50the ravage and

00:34:51desolation of

00:34:52nations.

00:34:54Such freedom

00:34:55has been

00:34:56granted to

00:34:57the human

00:34:58will, for

00:34:59even these

00:35:00ghastly issues

00:35:00have not been

00:35:01judged so

00:35:02deadly as

00:35:03coercion and

00:35:04moral fatalism.

00:35:07What

00:35:08presumption

00:35:08could possibly

00:35:09remain against

00:35:10the existence

00:35:11of other

00:35:11beings than

00:35:12men, who

00:35:13have fallen

00:35:14yet further?

00:35:16if indeed

00:35:17it be

00:35:18certainly so

00:35:19much further.

00:35:20For we

00:35:21know that

00:35:21men have

00:35:22lived, not

00:35:22outcast from

00:35:23society, but

00:35:25boastful sons

00:35:26of Abraham, who

00:35:28willed to

00:35:29perform the

00:35:29lusts of

00:35:31their father, the

00:35:31devil.

00:35:33Now, since we

00:35:34are not told

00:35:35that the

00:35:35wickedness of

00:35:36demons is

00:35:37infinite, but

00:35:39only that it

00:35:40is abysmal, and

00:35:41since we know

00:35:42that the

00:35:43abysses of

00:35:44wickedness do

00:35:45actually exist, but

00:35:48only that it

00:35:48is abysmal, and

00:35:50since we know

00:35:51that abysses of

00:35:52wickedness do

00:35:53actually exist, what

00:35:55sort of vindication

00:35:56of deity is

00:35:57this, which

00:35:58will believe that

00:35:59such gulfs are

00:36:00yawning only in

00:36:02the bosom of

00:36:03man?

00:36:07It alarms and

00:36:09shocks us to

00:36:09think that

00:36:10evil spirits

00:36:11have power

00:36:12over the

00:36:13human mind, and

00:36:14still more that

00:36:15such power

00:36:15should extend

00:36:16as in the

00:36:17case of a

00:36:17possession, even

00:36:19to the body.

00:36:21Evil men,

00:36:22however, manifestly

00:36:24wield such

00:36:25power.

00:36:28Social and

00:36:30intellectual

00:36:30charm, high

00:36:32rank, the

00:36:33mysterious

00:36:33attraction of

00:36:34a strong

00:36:35individuality, are

00:36:36all employed from

00:36:38time to time to

00:36:39mislead and

00:36:39debase the

00:36:41shuddering,

00:36:42reluctant, mesmerized

00:36:44wills of weak

00:36:45men and

00:36:46women.

00:36:47The mind

00:36:48acts upon the

00:36:49body, as

00:36:50perhaps it

00:36:51always does.

00:36:53Drunkenness and

00:36:53debauchery undermine

00:36:55the nerves.

00:36:57Paralysis and

00:36:58lunacy tread

00:37:00hard on the

00:37:01footsteps of

00:37:02excess.

00:37:03Experience knows

00:37:05of no reason

00:37:05for denying

00:37:06that when

00:37:08wickedness conquers

00:37:09the soul, it

00:37:10will also deal

00:37:11harshly with

00:37:12the body.

00:37:18But we

00:37:19cannot stop

00:37:20here, for

00:37:22the Gospels do

00:37:22not countenance

00:37:23the popular

00:37:24notion that

00:37:25the special

00:37:25wickedness was

00:37:26the cause of

00:37:28the fearful

00:37:28wretchedness of

00:37:29the possessed.

00:37:31Young children

00:37:32suffered.

00:37:33Jesus often

00:37:34cautioned a

00:37:35sufferer to

00:37:36sin no more,

00:37:37lest worst

00:37:38results should

00:37:39follow than

00:37:40those that he

00:37:41had removed.

00:37:43but he

00:37:44never said such

00:37:45a warning to

00:37:46demoniacs.

00:37:47They suffered

00:37:48from the

00:37:49tyranny of

00:37:49Satan rather

00:37:51than from

00:37:51his seduction.

00:37:53And the

00:37:54analogies which

00:37:55make credible

00:37:55so frightful and

00:37:57outrage upon

00:37:58human nature

00:37:59are the wrongs

00:38:01done by

00:38:01despots and

00:38:02mobs, by

00:38:03invading armies

00:38:04and persecuting

00:38:05religions.

00:38:07Yet the

00:38:08people who

00:38:08cannot believe

00:38:09that a demon

00:38:10could throw a

00:38:11child upon

00:38:12the fire

00:38:12are not

00:38:14incredulous

00:38:14of Attila,

00:38:16Napoleon or

00:38:17the Inquisition.

00:38:20Thus it

00:38:22appears that

00:38:22such a

00:38:23narrative

00:38:23need startle

00:38:25no believer

00:38:25in God

00:38:26and in

00:38:27moral good

00:38:28and evil

00:38:28who considers

00:38:30the unquestionable

00:38:31facts of

00:38:32life.

00:38:33How often

00:38:34will the

00:38:35observant

00:38:35Christian be

00:38:36startled at

00:38:37the wild

00:38:38insurrection

00:38:38and surging

00:38:40up of evil

00:38:40thought and

00:38:41dark suggestions

00:38:42which he

00:38:44cannot believe

00:38:44to be his

00:38:45own, which

00:38:46will not be

00:38:46gainsaid or

00:38:47repulsed?

00:38:49How easily

00:38:50do such

00:38:51experiences fall

00:38:52in with the

00:38:53plain words of

00:38:54scripture, by

00:38:56which the

00:38:56veil is drawn

00:38:57aside and

00:38:58the mystery of

00:38:59the spiritual

00:39:00world laid

00:39:01bare?

00:39:02Then we

00:39:03learn that man

00:39:04is not only

00:39:05fallen, but

00:39:06assaulted, not

00:39:07only feeble, but

00:39:09enslaved, not

00:39:10only a wandering

00:39:11sheep, but

00:39:13under the power

00:39:14of Satan at

00:39:15his will.

00:39:24So let us

00:39:25turn to the

00:39:26narrative

00:39:27read today.

00:39:30They are

00:39:31still wondering

00:39:32at our

00:39:32Lord's

00:39:33authority

00:39:33manner, when

00:39:34straight away

00:39:35for opportunities

00:39:37were countless

00:39:38until unbelief

00:39:40arose.

00:39:40a man with

00:39:42an unclean

00:39:43spirit attracted

00:39:44his attention.

00:39:46We can

00:39:47only speculate

00:39:49as to the

00:39:50special meaning

00:39:51of this

00:39:51description.

00:39:54One might

00:39:54say, like the

00:39:55rest, he had

00:39:56his dwelling

00:39:57place among

00:39:57the tombs, and

00:39:59overpowering

00:40:00influence had

00:40:01driven him

00:40:01away from the

00:40:02haunts of

00:40:03men.

00:40:04To others,

00:40:05perhaps,

00:40:06feature the

00:40:06wretchedness of

00:40:07the gathering

00:40:08may perhaps

00:40:09seem rather

00:40:09too exceptional,

00:40:11the last touch

00:40:12in the appalling

00:40:13picture of his

00:40:15misery.

00:40:16It could very

00:40:17well be that

00:40:17nothing more

00:40:18outrageous than

00:40:19morbid gloom

00:40:20or sullen

00:40:21mutterings had

00:40:22so far made

00:40:23it necessary to

00:40:24exclude this

00:40:25sufferer from

00:40:26the synagogue.

00:40:29Or the

00:40:30language, perhaps,

00:40:31suggests even

00:40:32that he rushed

00:40:33in, driven by

00:40:35the frantic

00:40:36hostility of

00:40:37the fiend, or

00:40:38impelled by

00:40:39some mysterious

00:40:40and lingering

00:40:41hope, as in

00:40:43the same way

00:40:44the man of

00:40:45Gadara ran

00:40:46to Christ.

00:40:50What we do

00:40:51know is that

00:40:52the sacred

00:40:53presence provoked

00:40:55a crisis.

00:40:57There is an

00:40:58unbelief which

00:40:59can never be

00:40:59silent, never

00:41:02wearies, railing

00:41:03at the faith, and

00:41:05there is a

00:41:05corruption which

00:41:06resents goodness

00:41:07and hates it

00:41:08as a personal

00:41:09wrong.

00:41:11So the demons

00:41:12who possessed

00:41:13men were never

00:41:13able to

00:41:14confront Jesus

00:41:15calmly.

00:41:17They resent

00:41:18bitterly his

00:41:19interference.

00:41:20They cry out.

00:41:22They disclaim

00:41:22having anything to

00:41:23do with him.

00:41:25They seem

00:41:26indignant that

00:41:27he should come

00:41:27to destroy them

00:41:28who have destroyed

00:41:30so many.

00:41:32but there is

00:41:33something weird

00:41:34and unearthly in

00:41:35this complaint.

00:41:36Men are

00:41:37wont to forget

00:41:38their wrong

00:41:39doing when

00:41:40they themselves

00:41:40come to

00:41:41suffer, and

00:41:42it is recorded

00:41:43that even

00:41:44Nero had an

00:41:45abundance of

00:41:45compassion upon

00:41:46himself.

00:41:48Weird also

00:41:49and terrible it

00:41:51is that this

00:41:52unclean spirit

00:41:53should choose

00:41:53for his

00:41:54confession,

00:41:56that pure and

00:41:57exquisite epithet,

00:41:59the Holy

00:42:00One of

00:42:00God.

00:42:04The only

00:42:05other time

00:42:05this phrase

00:42:07appears is

00:42:09as spoken

00:42:10by St.

00:42:10Peter.

00:42:11We believe

00:42:12and know

00:42:13that you are

00:42:13the Holy

00:42:14One of

00:42:14God,

00:42:14John 6

00:42:1569.

00:42:18Was it

00:42:19not a

00:42:19mournful

00:42:19association

00:42:20of ideas

00:42:21which then

00:42:22led Jesus

00:42:23to reply,

00:42:24have I not

00:42:25chosen you

00:42:26the twelve

00:42:26and one

00:42:27of you

00:42:27is a

00:42:28devil?

00:42:30But

00:42:31although the

00:42:31phrase is

00:42:32beautiful and

00:42:33perhaps wild

00:42:35with regret,

00:42:36there is no

00:42:37relenting, no

00:42:38better desire

00:42:39than to be

00:42:40let alone.

00:42:42And so

00:42:42Jesus, so

00:42:44gentle with

00:42:44sinful men,

00:42:46yet sometimes

00:42:47to be their

00:42:47judge also,

00:42:49is stern

00:42:50and cold.

00:42:52Hold

00:42:52your peace,

00:42:54be muzzled,

00:42:55he answers

00:42:56as if

00:42:57to a wild

00:42:58beast

00:42:58and come

00:43:00out of

00:43:00him,

00:43:02whereupon

00:43:03the evil

00:43:03spirit at

00:43:04once

00:43:04exhibits

00:43:05his

00:43:05ferocity

00:43:06and his

00:43:07capitulation.

00:43:11Cheering

00:43:12and screaming

00:43:13he came

00:43:13out,

00:43:14but we

00:43:15read in

00:43:15St.

00:43:16Luke

00:43:16that he

00:43:16did the

00:43:17man

00:43:17no

00:43:17harm.

00:43:22The

00:43:22spectators

00:43:23drew

00:43:24the

00:43:24correct

00:43:24inference.

00:43:26A new

00:43:27power

00:43:27implied a

00:43:28new

00:43:29revelation.

00:43:31Something

00:43:31far-reaching

00:43:32and profound

00:43:33might be

00:43:34expected from

00:43:35the one who

00:43:36commanded

00:43:36even an

00:43:37evil spirit

00:43:38with authority

00:43:39and was

00:43:40obeyed.

00:43:46it was

00:43:47the

00:43:47custom

00:43:47of

00:43:48unbelievers

00:43:48to speak

00:43:49as if

00:43:50the

00:43:50heir of

00:43:50Palestine

00:43:51were then

00:43:52surcharged

00:43:53with the

00:43:53belief in

00:43:54the

00:43:54supernatural.

00:43:56Miracles

00:43:56happened

00:43:57everywhere

00:43:57and so

00:43:58they would

00:43:58explain the

00:43:59way the

00:43:59significance

00:44:00of the

00:44:00popular

00:44:01belief

00:44:02that our

00:44:02Lord

00:44:02wrought

00:44:03signs and

00:44:03wonders.

00:44:05But in

00:44:06so doing

00:44:06they set

00:44:07themselves

00:44:07up with

00:44:08a worse

00:44:09problem

00:44:09than the

00:44:10one they

00:44:10chose to

00:44:10avoid.

00:44:12If

00:44:12miracles

00:44:12were so

00:44:13very common

00:44:13it would

00:44:14be as

00:44:15easy to

00:44:15believe

00:44:16that Jesus

00:44:17wrought

00:44:18them as

00:44:19he that

00:44:20worked at

00:44:21his father's

00:44:21bench.

00:44:22But also

00:44:23it would be

00:44:24inconclusive.

00:44:25How then

00:44:26might we

00:44:27explain the

00:44:27astonishment

00:44:28which all

00:44:30the evangelists

00:44:30so

00:44:31constantly

00:44:32recalled?

00:44:34On any

00:44:35conceivable

00:44:36theory these

00:44:37writers shared

00:44:38the beliefs

00:44:39of their

00:44:40age.

00:44:40and so

00:44:41did the

00:44:42readers who

00:44:43accepted their

00:44:44assurance that

00:44:44all were

00:44:45amazed and

00:44:47that his

00:44:47report went

00:44:48out straight

00:44:49away everywhere

00:44:50throughout the

00:44:51region of

00:44:51Galilee.

00:44:53These are

00:44:54emphatic

00:44:55words and

00:44:58both author

00:44:58and reader

00:44:59must have

00:45:00considered the

00:45:01miracle to be

00:45:02more surprising

00:45:03than modern

00:45:04critics believe

00:45:05they did.

00:45:08and yet we

00:45:09do not

00:45:10read that

00:45:10anyone was

00:45:11converted by

00:45:12this miracle.

00:45:14They were

00:45:14amazed

00:45:15certainly

00:45:16but wonder

00:45:17is not the

00:45:18same as

00:45:19surrender.

00:45:19they were

00:45:21contented to

00:45:22let their

00:45:22excitement

00:45:23die out

00:45:24as every

00:45:25violent

00:45:25emotion

00:45:26must

00:45:26but without

00:45:28any change

00:45:29of life

00:45:29any permanent

00:45:31devotion to

00:45:32this new

00:45:33teacher and

00:45:34his doctrine.

00:45:40St. Matthew

00:45:41tells us that

00:45:42on leaving

00:45:42the synagogue

00:45:43they entered

00:45:44into Peter's

00:45:45house.

00:45:47St. Mark

00:45:48with his

00:45:49peculiar

00:45:50source of

00:45:51information

00:45:51mentions that

00:45:53Andrew shared

00:45:55the house

00:45:55with his

00:45:56brother.

00:45:58A special

00:45:59interest attaches

00:46:00to the mention

00:46:01of the

00:46:01mother-in-law

00:46:02of Peter

00:46:03as proving

00:46:04that Jesus

00:46:05chose a

00:46:06married man

00:46:07to be an

00:46:08apostle.

00:46:09The very

00:46:10apostle from

00:46:11whom the

00:46:11celibate

00:46:12ministry of

00:46:13Rome

00:46:13professes to

00:46:14have received

00:46:15the keys.

00:46:19The evidence

00:46:20does not

00:46:21stand alone.

00:46:22When St. Paul's

00:46:23apostolic authority

00:46:25was impugned

00:46:26he insisted

00:46:27that he had

00:46:28the same right

00:46:28to bring with

00:46:29him in his

00:46:30travels a

00:46:30believing wife

00:46:31as Peter

00:46:32exercised.

00:46:34St. Clement

00:46:35of Alexandria

00:46:36tells us

00:46:37that Peter's

00:46:38wife acted

00:46:39as his

00:46:40co-adjudica

00:46:42ministering to

00:46:43women in

00:46:44their own

00:46:44homes by

00:46:45which means

00:46:46the gospel

00:46:46of Christ

00:46:47penetrated

00:46:48without scandal

00:46:49the privacy

00:46:50of women's

00:46:50apartments.

00:46:52Thus the

00:46:53notion of a

00:46:54woman's mission

00:46:55is by no

00:46:56means modern.

00:47:00mother of

00:47:02such a wife

00:47:02has been

00:47:03afflicted by

00:47:04a fever

00:47:04of the

00:47:05kind which

00:47:05still haunts

00:47:06us every

00:47:07day and

00:47:09they tell

00:47:09him about

00:47:10her.

00:47:13Doubtless

00:47:13there was

00:47:14hope in

00:47:14their voices

00:47:15even if

00:47:16desire did

00:47:16not take

00:47:17the shape

00:47:17of a

00:47:18formal

00:47:18prayer.

00:47:20For we

00:47:20are just

00:47:21emerging from

00:47:22that early

00:47:22period when

00:47:23belief in

00:47:24his power

00:47:24to heal

00:47:25might still

00:47:26be united

00:47:26with some

00:47:27doubt

00:47:28whether free

00:47:29application

00:47:29might be

00:47:30made to

00:47:31him.

00:47:32His

00:47:33disciples

00:47:34might still

00:47:35be as

00:47:35unwise as

00:47:36those modern

00:47:37theologians

00:47:38who were so

00:47:38busy studying

00:47:39the miracles

00:47:40as a sign

00:47:41that they

00:47:41forget to

00:47:42think of

00:47:43them as

00:47:43works of

00:47:44love.

00:47:46Any such

00:47:47hesitation

00:47:48was now

00:47:49to be

00:47:50dispelled

00:47:50however.

00:47:54It is

00:47:55possible that

00:47:56such is the

00:47:56meaning of

00:47:57the expression

00:47:57and if so

00:47:59it has a

00:48:00useful lesson

00:48:01for us.

00:48:03Sometimes

00:48:03there are

00:48:04temporal

00:48:05gifts which

00:48:05we scarce

00:48:06know of

00:48:07whether we

00:48:08should pray

00:48:08for or

00:48:10so complex

00:48:11are our

00:48:11feelings.

00:48:12So entangled

00:48:13are interests

00:48:14with those

00:48:15of others

00:48:15so obscure

00:48:16and dubious

00:48:17the springs

00:48:18which move

00:48:19our desire.

00:48:19is it

00:48:21presumptuous

00:48:22to ask?

00:48:27Indeed

00:48:28can it be

00:48:29right to

00:48:30keep anything

00:48:30back in

00:48:31our communion

00:48:32with our

00:48:34Father?

00:48:38Now there

00:48:39is a

00:48:40curious

00:48:40similarity

00:48:41between the

00:48:42expression

00:48:43they tell

00:48:44Jesus of

00:48:45her

00:48:45and that

00:48:46phrase which

00:48:47is applied

00:48:47only to

00:48:47prayer when

00:48:48St Paul

00:48:49bids us

00:48:49pray for

00:48:50all the

00:48:51things that

00:48:52are in

00:48:52our hearts.

00:48:55In

00:48:56nothing be

00:48:56anxious but

00:48:58in everything

00:48:58by prayer

00:48:59and supplication

00:49:01with

00:49:02thanksgiving

00:49:03let your

00:49:03requests be

00:49:04made known

00:49:05unto God

00:49:07and so

00:49:08shall the

00:49:08great benediction

00:49:09be fulfilled.

00:49:11The peace

00:49:11of God

00:49:12which passes

00:49:13all understanding

00:49:13guard your

00:49:15hearts and

00:49:16your thoughts

00:49:18for the

00:49:19pains

00:49:19four

00:49:19six

00:49:20and

00:49:20seven

00:49:22all that

00:49:23is unholy

00:49:23shall be

00:49:24purified

00:49:24all that

00:49:25is unwise

00:49:26subdued

00:49:27all that

00:49:28is expedient

00:49:30granted.

00:49:36If this

00:49:37be indeed

00:49:38the force

00:49:38of St Mark's

00:49:39phrase

00:49:40Jesus felt

00:49:41the modest

00:49:42reticence

00:49:42to be a

00:49:43strong appeal

00:49:44for St Luke

00:49:46says they

00:49:47besought him

00:49:48while St Matthew

00:49:49really writes

00:49:50that he saw

00:49:51her lying.

00:49:53The

00:49:54interpreter

00:49:54of St Peter

00:49:55is most

00:49:56likely to

00:49:57have caught

00:49:57the exact

00:49:58shade of

00:49:58anxiety

00:49:59and appeal

00:50:00by which

00:50:01her friends

00:50:01drew his

00:50:02attention

00:50:02and which

00:50:04was indeed

00:50:04a prayer.

00:50:08The

00:50:09gentle

00:50:09courtesy

00:50:10of our

00:50:11Lord's

00:50:11healings

00:50:12cannot be

00:50:13too much

00:50:13studied

00:50:14by those

00:50:14who would

00:50:15know his

00:50:15mind

00:50:16and love

00:50:17him

00:50:19for he

00:50:19never throws

00:50:20a careless

00:50:21blessing

00:50:22as

00:50:23coarse

00:50:23benefactors

00:50:24fling their

00:50:24arms.

00:50:26We shall

00:50:27see

00:50:27hereafter

00:50:28how far

00:50:29he was

00:50:30from leaving

00:50:31fallen bread

00:50:32to be

00:50:32snatched

00:50:33as by a

00:50:34dog

00:50:34even by

00:50:35the one

00:50:35who would

00:50:36have

00:50:36welcomed

00:50:36the boon

00:50:37thus

00:50:38contemptuously

00:50:39given to

00:50:39her.

00:50:41And in

00:50:41the hour

00:50:42of his

00:50:42arrest

00:50:43when he

00:50:44would heal

00:50:44the ear

00:50:45of a

00:50:45persecutor

00:50:46his

00:50:47courtesy

00:50:48appeals

00:50:49to those

00:50:49who had

00:50:50laid

00:50:50hold

00:50:50on him

00:50:52suffer

00:50:53you

00:50:53thus

00:50:54far.

00:50:55And so

00:50:56he went

00:50:57to this

00:50:57woman

00:50:58and took

00:50:59her by

00:50:59the hand

00:50:59and raised

00:51:00her up

00:51:01laying a

00:51:02cool touch

00:51:03on her

00:51:03fevered

00:51:04palm

00:51:04bestowing

00:51:05his strength

00:51:06on her

00:51:07weakness

00:51:07healing her

00:51:08as he

00:51:09would heal

00:51:10humanity

00:51:11for at

00:51:13his touch

00:51:13the disease

00:51:14was banished

00:51:15with his

00:51:16impulse

00:51:17her strength

00:51:18returned.

00:51:22we do

00:51:23not read

00:51:24that she

00:51:24felt

00:51:25bound

00:51:25immediately

00:51:27to become

00:56:00from him

00:56:01chiefly

00:56:01we learn

00:56:02to add

00:56:02to our

00:56:03thought

00:56:03of perfect

00:56:04love

00:56:04and gentleness

00:56:05that of

00:56:12does not

00:56:12omit to tell

00:56:13secret fountains

00:56:14this river

00:56:15of life

00:56:15was fed

00:56:16how the

00:56:17active

00:56:18labours

00:56:18of Jesus

00:56:18were inspired

00:56:20by secret

00:56:21prayer

00:56:23too often

00:56:24we allow

00:56:25one side

00:56:26of religion

00:56:26a development

00:56:27which is not

00:56:28excessive

00:56:28but disproportionate

00:56:30and we are

00:56:31punished

00:56:31when contemplation

00:56:33becomes

00:56:33nerveless

00:56:34or energy

00:56:35burns

00:56:41the 5000

00:56:42st mark

00:56:43tells us

00:56:43that Jesus

00:56:45while the storm

00:56:47gathered over

00:56:47the disciples

00:56:48upon the lake

00:56:49went

00:56:50into the

00:56:51mountains

00:56:51to pray

00:56:55st luke

00:56:56tells of

00:56:56a whole night

00:56:57of prayer

00:56:58before the

00:56:59disciples

00:56:59were chosen

00:57:00and how it

00:57:01was to pray

00:57:02that they

00:57:03ascended the

00:57:04mountain

00:57:04of the

00:57:05transfiguration

00:57:07we read

00:57:08of him going

00:57:09into a desert

00:57:09place with

00:57:10his disciples

00:57:11and to

00:57:12Olivet

00:57:12and often

00:57:13to the

00:57:14garden

00:57:14where Judas

00:57:15would find

00:57:16him

00:57:16where in

00:57:17the dead

00:57:18of night

00:57:18the traitor

00:57:19naturally

00:57:20went

00:57:21to seek

00:57:22him

00:57:23prayer

00:57:24prayer

00:57:24was the

00:57:24font of

00:57:25all his

00:57:25energy

00:57:26and his

00:57:27own

00:57:27saying

00:57:27indicated

00:57:28the

00:57:29habit

00:57:29of his

00:57:29mortal

00:57:30life

00:57:30as truly

00:57:31as the

00:57:32law

00:57:32of his

00:57:33mysterious

00:57:33generation

00:57:34i live

00:57:36by the

00:57:37father

00:57:42his prayers

00:57:44impress nothing

00:57:45on us

00:57:45more powerfully

00:57:46than the

00:57:47reality of

00:57:48his manhood

00:57:48he who

00:57:51possesses all

00:57:52things

00:57:52bends his

00:57:53knees to

00:57:54crave

00:57:54and his

00:57:55prayers are

00:57:56definite

00:57:56not empty

00:57:58words

00:57:58no homage

00:57:59without sense

00:58:00of need

00:58:01no firing

00:58:02of blank

00:58:03cartridges

00:58:03without aim

00:58:04he asks

00:58:06that the

00:58:07disciples may

00:58:08be with him

00:58:08where he is

00:58:09that Simon's

00:58:10strength may

00:58:11not fail

00:58:11that he

00:58:12himself may

00:58:13be saved

00:58:14from such

00:58:14a dreadful

00:58:15hour

00:58:19and so

00:58:20the entire

00:58:20evening had

00:58:21been passed

00:58:22in healing

00:58:23the diseases

00:58:23of the town

00:58:24not the

00:58:26light and

00:58:27careless

00:58:27bestowal

00:58:28of a

00:58:28boon

00:58:29which cost

00:58:29nothing

00:58:30but wrought

00:58:31with so

00:58:32much sympathy

00:58:33such

00:58:33draining

00:58:34of his

00:58:34own

00:58:35vital

00:58:35life

00:58:36forces

00:58:36that

00:58:37Saint

00:58:37Matthew

00:58:37found

00:58:38in it

00:58:38a

00:58:39fulfilment

00:58:40of the

00:58:40prophecy

00:58:40that he

00:58:42should

00:58:42himself

00:58:42bear

00:58:43our

00:58:43sicknesses

00:58:44upon

00:58:45himself

00:58:46and thus

00:58:47exhausted

00:58:48the frame

00:58:49might have

00:58:50been forgiven

00:58:50for demanding

00:58:51some

00:58:52indulgence

00:58:52some

00:58:53prolongation

00:58:55of repose

00:58:56some

00:58:56permission

00:58:57to sleep

00:58:58in

00:58:58in the

00:58:59morning

00:58:59but the

00:59:01course of

00:59:01our Lord's

00:59:02ministry

00:59:02was now

00:59:03opening up

00:59:04before him

00:59:04and the

00:59:05hindrances

00:59:06becoming

00:59:07visible

00:59:07how much

00:59:09was to be

00:59:10hoped from

00:59:10the great

00:59:11impression

00:59:11already made

00:59:12how much

00:59:13to be feared

00:59:14from the

00:59:15weaknesses

00:59:15of his

00:59:16followers

00:59:17the incipient

00:59:18envy of

00:59:19priest and

00:59:20Pharisee

00:59:20the volatile

00:59:21excitability

00:59:22of the

00:59:23crowd

00:59:25at such

00:59:26a time

00:59:26to relieve

00:59:27his burdened

00:59:28heart

00:59:28with divine

00:59:29communion

00:59:30was more

00:59:31to Jesus

00:59:31than any

00:59:32amount

00:59:32of sleep

00:59:33as at

00:59:34another time

00:59:35to serve

00:59:36him

00:59:36was meat

00:59:37to eat

00:59:39therefore

00:59:40in the still

00:59:41small hours

00:59:42of the fresh

00:59:43morning long

00:59:43before the

00:59:44dawn

00:59:44while every

00:59:45earthly sight

00:59:46was dim

00:59:47but the

00:59:48abysses of

00:59:49the heavens

00:59:49were vivid

00:59:50declaring

00:59:51without voice

00:59:52amid the

00:59:52silence

00:59:53of the

00:59:53earth's

00:59:54discord

00:59:54the glory

00:59:55and the

00:59:56handiwork

00:59:56of the

00:59:57father

00:59:57Jesus

00:59:58went out

00:59:59to a

01:00:00solitary

01:00:00place

01:00:01and prayed

01:00:07what is it

01:00:08that makes

01:00:08this solitude

01:00:09and darkness

01:00:10so dreadful

01:00:11to some

01:00:12people

01:00:12and oppressive

01:00:14to many

01:00:16partly perhaps

01:00:17the sense

01:00:18of physical

01:00:18danger

01:00:19born of

01:00:20helplessness

01:00:21and uncertainty

01:00:23this of course

01:00:24Jesus never

01:00:25felt

01:00:25who knew

01:00:26that he must

01:00:27walk today

01:00:28and tomorrow

01:00:28and on the

01:00:29third day

01:00:29would be

01:00:30perfected

01:00:31and partly

01:00:32it is the

01:00:33weight of

01:00:33an unwelcome

01:00:34reflection

01:00:35the searching

01:00:36and rebuking

01:00:37of memory

01:00:39the fears

01:00:41that come

01:00:41from guilt

01:00:43inward

01:00:43distractions

01:00:44of a nature

01:00:45estranged

01:00:46from the

01:00:47true nature

01:00:47of the

01:00:48universe

01:00:51but Jesus

01:00:52was agitated

01:00:53by no

01:00:53internal

01:00:54discord

01:00:55upbraided

01:00:56by no

01:00:56remorse

01:00:57he probably

01:00:58had no

01:00:59dreams

01:01:00he is

01:01:01never

01:01:01recorded

01:01:02as

01:01:02soliloquizing

01:01:03solitude

01:01:04to him

01:01:05was but

01:01:05another

01:01:06name

01:01:06for

01:01:06communion

01:01:06with

01:01:07God

01:01:07his

01:01:07father

01:01:08he was

01:01:09never

01:01:10alone

01:01:10for

01:01:11God

01:01:11was

01:01:12always

01:01:12with

01:01:13him

01:01:16this

01:01:16retirement

01:01:17enabled

01:01:17him

01:01:18to remain

01:01:18undisturbed

01:01:19until

01:01:21after dawn

01:01:22his

01:01:22disciples

01:03:51even if

01:03:52it were

01:03:53sustained

01:03:53by evidence

01:03:54would be

01:03:55as difficult

01:03:56as any

01:03:57miracle

01:03:57to believe

01:04:03the

01:04:04disease

01:04:04of leprosy

01:04:05was

01:04:05particularly

01:04:06fearful

01:04:07to the

01:04:07Jew

01:04:07in its

01:04:10stealthy

01:04:10beginnings

01:04:11its

01:04:11irresistible

01:04:12advance

01:04:13the utter

01:04:14ruin

01:04:14which it

01:04:15would

01:04:15wrought

01:04:15from

01:04:16blood

01:04:17flowing

01:04:17outward

01:04:18until the

01:04:19flesh

01:04:19was corroded

01:04:20and fell

01:04:21off

01:04:21it was

01:04:23a fit

01:04:23type

01:04:23of

01:04:24sin

01:04:24at first

01:04:25so trivial

01:04:26in its

01:04:26indication

01:04:27but gradually

01:04:28usurping

01:04:29all the

01:04:29nature

01:04:30and thoroughly

01:04:31corrupting

01:04:31it

01:04:32and the

01:04:33terrible

01:04:33fact

01:04:34that the

01:04:35children

01:04:35of its

01:04:35victims

01:04:36were also

01:04:37doomed

01:04:37reminded

01:04:38the

01:04:39Israelites

01:04:39of the

01:04:40transmission

01:04:40of the

01:04:41sin

01:04:42of

01:04:42Adam

01:04:47the

01:04:48story

01:04:48of

01:04:49Naaman

01:04:49and

01:04:49Gehazi

01:04:50make it

01:04:51quite

01:04:52certain

01:04:53that the

01:04:53leprosy

01:04:54of scripture

01:04:54was not

01:04:55contagious

01:04:56for they

01:04:57were intimate

01:04:57with kings

01:04:58but apparently

01:05:00to complete

01:05:01the type

01:05:02the law

01:05:02gave to it

01:05:03the artificial

01:05:04contagion

01:05:05of ceremonial

01:05:06uncleanness

01:05:07and banished

01:05:09the unhappy

01:05:09sufferer

01:05:10from the

01:05:10dwellings

01:05:11of men

01:05:12and so

01:05:13he came

01:05:13to be

01:05:14regarded

01:05:14as under

01:05:15an especial

01:05:15ban

01:05:16and the

01:05:17prophecy

01:05:17which

01:05:18announced

01:05:18that the

01:05:19illustrious

01:05:20man of

01:05:21sorrows

01:05:21would be

01:05:22esteemed

01:05:23stricken

01:05:23of God

01:05:24was taken

01:05:25to mean

01:05:26that he

01:05:26should be

01:05:27a leper

01:05:28this

01:05:28banishment

01:05:29of the

01:05:30leper

01:05:30was indeed

01:05:31a remarkable

01:05:32exception

01:05:32to the

01:05:33humanity

01:05:34of the

01:05:34ancient

01:05:34law

01:05:36but when

01:05:37his distress

01:05:37became

01:05:38extreme

01:05:39and the

01:05:39plague

01:05:40was turned

01:05:40into

01:05:40white

01:05:41he was

01:05:42released

01:05:43from his

01:05:44uncleanness

01:05:45Leviticus

01:05:4613 17

01:05:49this

01:05:50may teach

01:05:50us that

01:05:51sin is to

01:05:51be dreaded

01:05:52most

01:05:52while it

01:05:53is yet

01:05:54hidden

01:05:54when it

01:05:56is fully

01:05:56developed

01:05:56it gives

01:05:57sufficient

01:05:58warning

01:05:58against

01:05:59and now

01:06:01such a

01:06:01appeals

01:06:02to

01:06:03this

01:06:04incident

01:06:05is one

01:06:05of the

01:06:06most

01:06:10shining

01:06:10character

01:06:11which it

01:06:11reveals

01:06:12make it

01:06:13perplexing

01:06:13to moderate

01:06:14and thoughtful

01:06:15sceptics

01:06:19those who

01:06:20believe that

01:06:21the charm

01:06:21of his

01:06:22presence

01:06:22was worth

01:06:23all the

01:06:24resources

01:06:24of medicine

01:06:25agree

01:06:26that Christ

01:06:27may even

01:06:28have cured

01:06:29leprosy

01:06:30and insist

01:06:31that this

01:06:39and Jesus

01:06:40urged him

01:06:41only to

01:06:42fulfil the

01:06:43requirements

01:06:43of the
