JESUS USES HIS POWER TO HELP LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:35-41; 5:35 43. GOLDEN TEXT—Why are ye so fearful? How Is It that ye have no faith?—Mark 4 40 Help—that is what man needs, and nr thing but the power of Christ will suffice to meet his fears and sor rows. Christ appears in Mark as not only the matchless Teacher of the parables we have just studied, but the mighty Worker. This is the Gospel in which Christ is presented as the Servant of Je hovan, who came to use His infinite grace and power for our deliverance. Two great fears gnaw at the vitals of man’s existence. Life is full of awful dangers, and death is so dreadfully final and sorrowful. He is afraid to live, and afraid to die— apart from his faith in Jesus Christ. We find the answer to both these fears as we here see— Jesus’ Power Overcomes I. Fear of Life’s Dangers (Mark 4:35-41). The long day of teaching had end- 1 ed (v. 35), and the disciples car ried out His request that they go to the other side of the lake to rest. Just "as he was’’ they departed, and before long the tired Jesus was asleep. We know how He felt, and what is even more blessed. He knows how we feel when we are tired. As He slept, a sudden storm (com mon on the Lake of Galilee) brought deathly fear to the hearts of His disciples. For the moment they saw only the angry waves, the smallness of their boat, and the hopelessness of their situation. Had they forgotten Jesus? With Him in the boat, they had no reason to fear. They called on Him, and in His majestic and authoritative "Peace be still” the wind and waves recognized their Master’s voice. Should we not learn that in this day of fears and alarms, we may (if we are Christians) count on His presence and His power. If we look at the overwhelming waves of cir cumstances and think how frail we are, surely our hearts shall fail us for fear. But if Christ is with us, we are in no danger. Now they were struck with awe at His power. "Sometimes the de liverances wrought by our Lord so reveal His presence and power that His followers are more deeply moved than they were by the perils which threatened. Whether mas tering the storm, or standing unseen in our midst today, He appears to the eye of faith, clothed in divine en ergy and power” (Erdman). 11. Fear of Death’s Deep Sorrow (5:35-43). Trouble is a visitor in every home, it does not matter how securely that home may be founded upon wealth or social position. Frequently, death chooses a shining mark in taking a dearly belt>ed child. Children strike their roots deep into our hearts and when they are torn from us our whole beings are rent and convulsed. Such was the great storm of sorrow which had come upon the home of j Jairus, leading him to make the ] brave stop of faith and hope which | brought him to Jesus. Then as Jesus turned to go with Jairus a woman touched Him. He stopped to seek her out and com mend her for her faith. The seem ing delay must have greatly troubled Jairus, particularly when the ser vants came and informed him that he need no longer trouble the Master since his daughter was dead. Not infrequently we have similar expe riences, where it seems that while Cod has promised to help us, He has been turned aside and has forgotten us. The psalmist in Psalm 42:3 cries out, “My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?" Our Lord was not troubled at al! by the message of the servants of Jairus, but He showed His thought ful consideration of the father by reassuring him with the words, “Fear not, only believe." Everywhere fear blocks the way I of human peace and progress. Di- I vine wisdom offers a remedy for it all—only believe. We excuse our lack ot faith by the conditions which con front us, but none of us face condi tions worse than those which con fronted Jairus. His daughter was dead and he was told to believe! He obeyed and his faith \4as rewarded. When Ho said, "The child is not j dead, but sleepeth," our Lord did not mean that actual death had not j taken place, but He meant that in j the sight of God death is like a sleep, j In the eyes of Christ spiritual death ] was undoubtedly far more terrible than physical death. A man may be i physically alive and yet being spir j itually dead be worse off than a i man who, though physically dead, is i spiritually alive, j After putting forth the mourning scorners, the Lord performed a miracle by simply speaking to the child and saying. "Little girl, arise." Here then is the Lord who can overcome every fear, in both life and death. Is He not the one we need as our Saviour?
