"HE HATH DONE ALL THINGS WELL"

John J. Selover

Those who observed Christ Jesus and his incomparable activity said (Mark 7:37), "He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak." Jesus was not bound by the restrictive edicts of mortal belief. He did not accept the theory that an individual can be expert only in one phase of activity.

Jesus healed the sick, saved the sinner, raised the dead. He overcame the beliefs of time, space, matter. He could walk over the waves, appear behind closed doors, transport himself where he needed to be, multiply loaves and fishes, get tax money from the fish's mouth. Jesus was never a failure in any of his activities. He left his precepts and practices as examples, saying (John 14:12), "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

What basis is there for the assumption that if one can sing or paint, he must be deficient on the athletic field, or if he can solve a quadratic equation, he cannot learn to compose an essay on political economy? Or what basis is there for the belief that one who finds himself a laborer in field or factory can never develop ideas which will bless himself and others?
