The great Medical Missionary took away <strong>the</strong><br />

sins of <strong>the</strong> paralytic and <strong>the</strong>n presented him to God<br />

as pardoned. And He gave him also physical<br />

healing. God had given His Son power to lay hold<br />

of <strong>the</strong> eternal throne. While Christ stood <strong>for</strong>th in<br />

His own personality, He reflected <strong>the</strong> luster of <strong>the</strong><br />

position of honor that He had held within <strong>the</strong><br />

enriching light of <strong>the</strong> eternal throne.<br />

On ano<strong>the</strong>r occasion Christ made <strong>the</strong> request:<br />

"Fa<strong>the</strong>r, glorify Thy name." And in answer <strong>the</strong>re<br />

came "a voice from heaven, saying, I have both<br />

glorified it, and will glorify it again." (John 12:28)<br />

If this voice did not move <strong>the</strong> impenitent, if <strong>the</strong><br />

power that Christ manifested in His mighty<br />

miracles did not cause <strong>the</strong> Jews to believe, we<br />

should not be greatly surprised to find that men and<br />

women today are in danger, through continual<br />

association with those who are incredulous, of<br />

manifesting <strong>the</strong> same unbelief that <strong>the</strong> Jews<br />

manifested, and of developing <strong>the</strong> same perverted<br />

understanding.<br />
