THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

She H |||b spml® International Uwtlcm Sunday School Losaom Ba«k(r*aa< Serl><ar»: Luke T; 8-ZJ-DavattaMl Btadlngi Romans 8:31-39. Powers of God* Lesson for November M, 1955 JESUS no doubt did many ordinary things, such as paying his bills and eating his breakfast It may well be that he ••never did an ordinary thing in an ordinary way,” (How would be pay you what he owed for lumber for his carpenter shop? How would he be as a breakfast companion?) But it is also true by all tiie records g that he did some W| ext r aordinary •things, so extraordinary in fact that 'lag no one word could iEDBnM quite describe 7 them. The Gospel of M whom of course used Greek, used Dr - Foreman sometimes a word meaning "Sign,” sometimes one meaning "wonder, miracle,” and sometimes one that means "power.” The same Greek words is translated in different ways. For example: the Greek word "dynamis” (power) is translated in the old King James version "power” in Luke 5:17, “virtue” 4n 6:19, "mighty works” in 10:13, “miracles” in Acts 2:22. No Show-oH You can get into all kinds of stupid snd endless arguments over the "miracles” of the New Testament. They are not always labeled as such, or labeled with any word. The Gospels will just tell what Jesus did, and let the reader draw his own conclusions. What they all agree on is that Jesus performed acts of power which no one else could match. He did these things as naturally as you would pick a blackberry —as naturally but perhaps not so easily. As he himself expressed It, he could perceive "power” going out of him. (Luke 8:46, R.S.V.) However hard it may be to understand Jesus' miracles, we can confidently say three things about them. One is that he did not do them “just to be doing them.” They were never aimless, or at random. Further, they never had the aim of showing off. To the end of his days Jesus was beset by demands from the Pharisees and others, to show a “sign from heaven.” One of his early temptations was to cast himself down from a pinnacle of the Temple and expect God or his angels to see that he djd not get hurt in the fall But he did not yield to that temptation. Never Too Much Another striking fact about his miracles is that he never wasted power. He never did what others could do. When he fed the five thousand, he got the people to sit down in orderly fashion and got his disciples to help distribute the food. One would suppose it would have been just as easy Tor him to arrange for every person present to find a loaf and a fish suddenly in his hand; but Jesus did not work that way. Or again, after the tremendous miracle of restoring to life the little daughter of Jairus, Jesus—instead of producing lunch for her himself by a miracle—gives orders to the family to get the little girl something to eat. When he healed the paralytic, he told him to pick up his pallet and go home. He Went About Doing Good Simon Peter, who wasfar more impressed by Jesus’ miracles than by what be said, summed up a great deal when be said that Jesus, endowed with divine power, “went about doing good,” (Acts 10:38.) Our Lord’s acts of power were always done for the help cf other persons. This is the great distinction between Christ’s miracles and those done, or allegedly done, by magic. Your typical magic-worker makes a doll and sticks pins in it, hoping by this means to inflict pain or death on some one. 'Whether or net magic is anything real, magic is malicious by intention. Jesus’ miracles on the contrary were never malicious, but the exact opposite—they were acts of goodness and generous help. Jesus never called up genies out of bottles, he never created fire-breath-ing dragons, he never produced potions of love or death. All his miracles simply restored health, life, strength, gave food to the hungry, eyes to the blind . . . yes, and good news to the poor. For In listing for John the Baptist’s benefit the acts of power he was doing, he names as climax not the raising of the dead, but the _ coming of good news to the poor. That is a miracle we still too seldom «»•> Don’t think miserably and expect to live joyously. A certain amount of opposition is a great help at times. Kites rise against the wind.

Thanksgiving J. R. Meadows Have you ever stood on a Sunday morning in an ancient ivycovered church when the mellow Autumn sunlight flooded the windows? And have you listened to the congregation as it sang that old hymn, “Count Your Blessing?” Listening and meditating, it seemed that you glimpsed the spirit that has carried humanity onward through the ages; a spirit that has accepted sorrow and disappointment as the inevitable in life, and despite these things, know that there are blessings in this world, and so proceed to count them. Thanksgiving is the logical time to check upon our blessings, the things for which we should feel some degree of gratitude to the Giver of all things: Thankfulness for health, for our loved ones, for friendships, for our homes, our schools and our churches, and for our freedom which our country still enjoys. These are but a few of the many. I am always thankful for the peace and joy in my own heart that the world did not give nor can it take it away. So at this Thanksgiving season, let us everyone, “Count our blessings, name them one by one, count our many blessings, see what God hath done."' And take advantage of the glorious privilege that we still enjoy in America and attend the church of your choice next Sunday, and attend the Thanksgiving services next Thursday. s THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened.”—Matthew 7:7. o AUAUST CAFETERIA 222 N. 2nd St Decatur, Indiana Fine Food - Fast Service Open Sun. 7 a. m. to 1:30 p. m.
