INTRODUCTION.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have been requested to write some papers on our Lord's miracles. I\u003cbr\u003eventure the attempt in the belief that, seeing they are one of the modes\u003cbr\u003ein which his unseen life found expression, we are bound through them to\u003cbr\u003earrive at some knowledge of that life. For he has come, The Word of God,\u003cbr\u003ethat we may know God: every word of his then, as needful to the knowing\u003cbr\u003eof himself, is needful to the knowing of God, and we must understand,\u003cbr\u003eas far as we may, every one of his words and every one of his actions,\u003cbr\u003ewhich, with him, were only another form of word. I believe this the\u003cbr\u003eimmediate end of our creation. And I believe that this will at length\u003cbr\u003eresult in the unravelling for us of what must now, more or less, appear\u003cbr\u003eto every man the knotted and twisted coil of the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt seems to me that it needs no great power of faith to believe in the\u003cbr\u003emiracles--for true faith is a power, not a mere yielding. There are far\u003cbr\u003eharder things to believe than the miracles. For a man is not required to\u003cbr\u003ebelieve in them save as believing in Jesus. If a man can believe that\u003cbr\u003ethere is a God, he may well believe that, having made creatures capable\u003cbr\u003eof hungering and thirsting for him, he must be capable of speaking a\u003cbr\u003eword to guide them in their feeling after him. And if he is a grand\u003cbr\u003eGod, a God worthy of being God, yea (his metaphysics even may show the\u003cbr\u003eseeker), if he is a God capable of being God, he will speak the clearest\u003cbr\u003egrandest word of guidance which he can utter intelligible to his\u003cbr\u003ecreatures. For us, that word must simply be the gathering of all the\u003cbr\u003eexpressions of his visible works into an infinite human face, lighted up\u003cbr\u003eby an infinite human soul behind it, namely, that potential essence of\u003cbr\u003eman, if I may use a word of my own, which was in the beginning with God.\u003cbr\u003eIf God should _thus_ hear the cry of the noblest of his creatures, for\u003cbr\u003esuch are all they who do cry after him, and in very deed show them his\u003cbr\u003eface, it is but natural to expect that the deeds of the great messenger\u003cbr\u003eshould be just the works of the Father done in little. If he came to\u003cbr\u003ereveal his Father in miniature, as it were (for in these unspeakable\u003cbr\u003ethings we can but use figures, and the homeliest may be the holiest), to\u003cbr\u003etone down his great voice, which, too loud for men to hear it aright,\u003cbr\u003ecould but sound to them as an inarticulate thundering, into such a still\u003cbr\u003esmall voice as might enter their human ears in welcome human speech,\u003cbr\u003ethen the works that his Father does so widely, so grandly that they\u003cbr\u003etranscend the vision of men, the Son must do briefly and sharply before\u003cbr\u003etheir very eyes.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084654854384,"sku":"2940015942033","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015942033","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
