Sunday School Lesson
THE MIGHTY WORKER
Scripture—Mark 4:35-6:6.
Memory Selection—Do not fear, only believe. Mark 5:36.
PRESENT DAY APPLICATION
By Frederick D. Jordan
Los Angeles, Calif.
How many of you have known God's power in some testing time in your life? Those who have little faith may never know the blessedness of His power or understand that it is available at all times. The ruler in our lesson had heard about Jesus' teaching and had doubtless seen His miracles, but felt no need for Christ until he was in distress. Is that not the way with us? We call frantically on Him when in distress. The ruler came to Jesus reverently, earnestly and believingly, and Jesus' power was made manifest. This is the way we must come to Jesus still and the assurance of the benefit of His great power is ours. There was as much atomic energy in the world one hundred years ago as there is today, but then men limited it by their ignorance. Just so man limits himself by his ignorance of God. His power is all around us waiting to be harnessed into willing service, as is atomic energy. We can appropriate it to our use if we only believe.
"There is power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb."
