- JESUS THE GIVER OF LIFE LESSON TEXT John 4:46-51; 8:2-9; 11:11-13. r - MEMORY SELECTION I am the res
urrection, and the life; he that believeth in me. though he were dead, yet shall he ! live. John 11:25. The miracles of God, through his servants and the Lord Jesus Christ, ' are not mere marvels' or wonders. They are not for the advancement I of the cause of any man or for personal glory. They are the mighty signs of an omnipotent God I wrought for the good of men, for J their spiritual enlightenment and as ; b testimony to the one true God. Jesus is the giver of life; first and most important, of spiritual life, but also of physical life and health, j Leaving Samaria after his blessed work there, our Lord went up into Galilee, where he met many simplehearted folk who were ready to believe. Here he was able to work miracles of healing and' of grace. I. A Sick Boy Made Well (John 4:46-51). A nobleman's son was sick. Ah,, yes, affliction and sorrow come to the home of the rich as well as the poor. Death comes to the young as well as the old. In fact, the first grave dug in this world was for a young man. . But it is also true that, affliction rtiay be, in God's hand, a means of blessing. This son's sickness sent his father to Jesus, and resulted ultimately in the salvation o the entire household (V. 53). There is another helpful lesson here our Lord's Word is as good as his presence. The man asked Jesus to come, but he sent his word instead.. It wa,s accepted, believed, and completely effective. ' How blessed for us who may not have the physical presence of the Lord to recall the potency of his Word. When he says it, believe it! II. A Lame Man Made Whole
(John 5:2-9). Back in Jerusalem at the Feast of Purim, a time of joy and gift, giving, our Lord found his way to
Lthe pool of Bethesda where there
jwere misery acsl4iaeaseiIiscora Ipassionate heart sent him there to :elp and to bless. . -. I "Impotent folk" the words well
i describe not only those who lay
telpless about the pool of Bethes-
ia, but they fit us as well. Oh, yes.
A'e are strong, capable, fearless,
ut only until we meet some great
'Jemerital problem. Then . we see
hit we are indeed "a ereat multi-
ve of impotent folk." The silent i
can paralyze a nation. Death, ' mess who can stay their hand? j t,ong familiarity with his weak-, ess had bred in the man with tha jaftrmity a. sense, of . despair. Such, kn attitude invites defeat It is.un-j bpcoming to a Christian. Let us not forget in the darkest hour to "keep I looking up." Jesus told the man to "rise and! walk" the very thing he could:
not do for. his 29 years of life. I
3ut when the Son of God speaks to .
as he gives the power to respond to
lis command. III. A Dead Friend Made Alive'j
(John 11:11-13).
The fact' that Jesus is our Friend
:ind our Saviour does not exempt
is from human sorrow, but it does
issure us of the needed grace to iear the trial and to trust him even! n life's darkest hour.. . , . I
Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was ! ick, The home in which Jesus had
ound rest and fellowship was in j ircp trouble. Jesus was no longer !
i Judea, In haste, word is sent ' rj him of his friend's illness. But e did not come. . ' I Why does he delay?. Such Is the
eart cry of thousands today who all on him in their hour of trouble. ' I
he purposes of God are beyond ur ability fully to understand. We eed only to trust him and abide is time. . . . .
Notice that hJS failure to respond h cnce to tile message of Lazarus'
s'.ers did not mean that he had
serted them (11:4-6). . Nor did it j ! can that he had denied them his'
?!p (v. .7).. Lazarus, may .have
en dead before the word .reached!
m. He may also, have delayed in
der that there might be no ques-
m about the resurrection miracle.1
id he may have tarried in order at their faith might be strength-! ed. . .. ! Above all. do not fail to notice he came. He always does.;, sus has never failed any child his. The time and the manner of
; answer to our prayers may not
nlorm to our opinion of what , -iuld have been done, but let ug
nember that we know only , in rt. He knows alL Let us trust i n. In his darkest hour Job said; j hough he slay me,-yet will' I'
;stinhim" (Job 13:15). . ' . t
le called Lazarus forth from ,the 1 cp of death. Even so he calls' ners forth 'from their spiritual tlh into glorious eternal life! The I giver, our Lord and Saviour, is' e now ready to give life to ev-: -one who will call on his name.'

This young man, like multitudes of others his age realizes he must soon be earning a living and perplexing questions arisel . ' What vocation shall he follow? Will the life-work he. Has in mind offer him a suitable outlet for his' talents? Will he 'be' happy arid contented in that work?- . And questions' ariseab'out the ethical standards Ke should set for him-
self. Just how honest ought a fellow be anyway? Haw, loyal to the truth?
Do moral compromises pay? ' ' In other words, this young man is inquiring: into the, meaning of life
itself. In essence, his question is, shall a fellow plan his life plus or minus j God? - ' : . How he works things out depends largely upon his earlier training. If his religious life has been neglected, he is more likely to make the fatal j mistake of trying to get along without God. ' " V - j If he has been more wisely led, he will place God ana truth' and right j at the center : of his thoughts. If he seeks the better way, the Churcli
