THE KING OF THE
PHYSICAL WORLD.
Internationnl Pible Lesson for Mar.
6, 'lO- (Matt. 8:2-17).
The work of Christ at the begin
ning of His ministry it; summarized in
Matt. 1:23 under tic three heads of
teaching. preaching and healing. One
branch of the work we have now seen
in the lessons on the Sermon on the
Mount, viz., tenehi.ig and prenching,
and Matthew now goes onto set forth
the other great branch of His work in
two chapters of miracles, a group of
marvelous works the signs of the
kingdom.
Signs of the Kingdom.
The gradation in natural, Christ
came into a world that needed some
thing more than counsel, rules of life,
good advice and direction. He found
a world "where the whole head was
sick and the whole heart faint." .Men
need not only the teacher's voice, but
the Healer's touch, and it was be
cause of this that lie who spoke as
never man spoke, proved Himself the
King of the Physical world by His
miracles of healing. The healing is
as essential as the teaching. For
Christ is not a mere ambassador from
the court of heaven. He was the
King of Heaven, and r.s such ho must
have divine credentials and prove
that "in Him was life, and the life
was the light of men." Po the mira
cles were the signs of the Kingdom
of Heaven, - not prodigies, spectacu
lar wonders to startle and dazzle the
beholders. They were never per
formed for vulgar show, but whenever
the opportunity and occasion demand
ed were put forth naturally, easily,
without strain or sensation, in a king
ly fashion by the King Himself, testi
fying that he was by divine right King
in the physical world, lie never seeks
out occasions to formally show his
power. He steadfastly refuses to
work miracles to awe n giping crowd.
He never posea, saving, "Watch me do
a startling, mysterious thing." lie is
always the natural King from Heaven
with a heart of love and a hand of
power. That heart never was emptied
of its love, that hand never failed in
its touch of power.
Chronic Diseases.
In this lesson we have the account
of the healing of two men, and a wom
an. Of the men one was a leper, the
other a paralytic. The leper was
healed with a touch ; the palsied man
was healed at a distance. One man
begged for healing, the other man's
master appeared in his behalf. One
patie.nt was defiled, the other was
h P.oth were lieulod instantly,
both were healed on account of per
fect faith. Leprosy and palsy were
symbolic diseases; they represented
sin wholly possessing lis victim, the
OT'.C. the case of the < entirely defiled
by sin, the other, the condition of
those who are paralyzed in that part of
their being which constitutes inw.ird
life, unable apparently to do anything
for themselves in the way of salvation.
They represent the extreme of the tin
converted world, whether Jew or Gen
tile.
Acute Diseases.
Coming into Peter's house at the
close of the day Christ found His dis
ciple's mother-in-law prostrate with a
fever, and immediately relieved the
situation, by healing her on the spot.
This third case of healing in one day
was within the circle of the disciples.
And it suggests the spiritual diseases
to which those are liable who are the
intimate friends of the King. Healed
of chronic diseases of the past we yet
are liable to contagion, exposed to at
tacks of acute diseases, which though
temporary are dangerous, and which
need the touch of the Great Physician.
Epidemics sometimes sweep through
churches and disciples are attacked
by all kinds of fevers, when the faces
get flushed, and the blood hot, the
voice strident, and the eye glaring,
and the tongue rattling on in delirious
speech. Peter himself took a sudden
fever several times in his career from
which he was only recovered by the
Master's prescription.
Representative Cases.
These three miracles in this lesson
are selected to show that the King is
lord of the body. They are represent
ative cases, they are given in detail
to lead us up to the statement which
follows in the 16tli verse: "When the
even was come, they brought unto
Him ninny that were possessed with
devils, and he cast out the spirits with
His word; and healed all that were
sick: That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
Himself took our infirmities and bare
our sicknesses."
And thus Christ demonstrated that
He is King of the physical world. No
possible harm can come to these
bodies of ours that is beyond his abil
ity. In Christ's day there were no
hospitals in Palestine, the only hospi
tal there was a travelling hospital,
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. And
no one ever came to Him to be pro
nounced incurable, and no one was
| turned away convalescent, His works
' of healing were instantaneous, com
i plete, permanent. And why not? If
; a man makes a machine, lie ought to
be able to repair it. If Christ is what
He claims to be King of the Kingdom
of Cod, it ought to be the easiest thing
j in the world for him to banish every
evil thing from that realm, of thought
or word or deed. For, of that king
dom which He set Himself to prepare,
it was long ago announced, "And the
inhabitants shall not say I am sick."
