JESUS’ UNDERSTANDING
OF MAN
LESSON TEXT-Matthew 12:9-21.
GOLDEN TEXT—And needed not that any j
should testify of man; for he knew what wa» |
In man.—John 2:25.
What is a man worth? That de
pends on your point of view. In »
museum stands a collection of small
jars containing minerals, water,
etc., which make up the body of a
man, and which are valued at less
I than a dollar. But there is more to
man than his body.
And that “more”—intellectual and
spiritual—is what determines hi«
real value. Jesus understood (yes,
and now He understands) man, and
places a high valuation on him. That
is worth knowing in a world wher#
the price of humanity is often figured
on the basis of his usefulness in war- !
fare or the factory.
Jesus really understands man. He
knows his
I. Need (v. 9).
The first thing Jesus saw in the
synagogue was not the leaders, or
the beautifully appareled rich, or the
learned scribes. He saw a man with
a withered hand, One who needed
His help. The enemies of Christ
complimented Him by expecting
Him to see the crippled one—and
they “watched him” (Mark 3:2), for
it was the Sabbath.
Do we see the real need of human
; ity7 Does it speak to us and prompt
us to helpful action? If not, are we
like our Lord and Master?
11. Value (vv. 10-12).
They who would not hesitate to
save a sheep in distress on the Sab
bath did not want the man to re
ceive help. Thus they put property
above the person of man, and
showed their low valuation of man.
The dignity of man’s personality,
the fact that he is made in the like
ness and image of God, the great
potentialities which exist in every
man—all these should urge upon the
Christian church the need of a new
and higher estimate of the worth of
a man—or a boy or a girl. Let us
look at them with God’s eyes, and
seek to win them for Him.
HI. Faith (v. 13).
No doubt this man had tried count
less times to straighten out that
withered arm. It was the very thing
he most wanted to do, but it was
quite impossible. Is Jesus then
charging him with the impossible,
asking him to do what cannot be
done?
No, for Ho saw in this man the
desire to be whole and faith in
God’s ability to make him whole.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan puts it
well: “We turn from a contempla
tion of a withered hand and look at
tile face of Jesus. The moment we
do this, we know that the command
is possible because He commands
it, however impossible it may ap
pear. To look into that face must
inevitably have meant to be certain
that He was not there to reveal dis
ability, save as He was also there to
put an end to it.”
IV. Enmity (vv. 14, 15a).
Jesus saw the good in man. Ho
also saw the evil. He was not un
aware of the hatred and the dark
devices of His enemies. Until the
day when Ho was to permit them
to take Him captive in the garden,
He withdrew from them, leaving |
them to their evil designs and their !
wicked unbelief.
Sometimes when we see how the |
wicked seem to flourish in our day,
how they appear to go on without
let or hindrance, we are prone to
forget that there is One who "sits
in the shadows,” and who knows and
notes not only their ungodly deeds,
but also their sinful thoughts.
He knows, and that is enough for
us. Let us not be seeking vengeance,
nor fretting ourselves because of
evil doers. God knows, and He will
care for it all.
V. Weakness (vv. 15b-21).
Men hesitate to admit their weak
ness to one another, always trying to
keep up the appearance of strength
and success. Weil, there is no need
of that kind of subterfuge with God.
; "He knoweth our frame; he remem
bgreth that we are dust" (Ps. 103:
14).
Jesus sympathized with those who
were physically ill and He healed
them (v. 15). What comfort there is
in knowing that He is present at the
sick bed of every believer, and that
He is able to heal as it may be ■
His will and purpose. Only He can i
do it.
But there is something even more
precious here. Man is weak not
only physically but spiritually. His
spiritual light may at times be near
ly out, just a smoldering wick in
stead of a brightly shining lamp. We
might be tempted to say that it is
so weak, so disagreeable, so smoky
—let’s put it entirely out. But not
Jesus. He will, if permitted, fan it
into flame again.
Then, too, man is like a broken
reed. The picture is that of a stick
cut to use for support as one walks.
And then it breaks—what shall we
do? Break it into smaller pieces
and throw it away? Yes, that is what
we will do if we have not the spirit of
Jesus.
