He "stretched forth his hand"

LILAH K. J. MORRISON-BELL

One realizes when one reads the Gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry how much he must have longed for his chosen disciples to appreciate and accept the deeper spiritual meaning that underlay all he said and did for their enlightenment. He knew that only their awareness of the reality and truth of the relationship between God and man as Father and son would convey to them the ability to heal.

They needed to learn, even as we do, that God, not matter or material conditions, is the source of man's health. This truth was the basis of Jesus' power and marvelous demonstrations—a fact which he acknowledged and accepted and which enabled him to see through the illusion of the senses and to heal with unerring certainty those who came to him for help and salvation.

One begins to understand the great patience and the loving, gentle leadership which characterized his every word and demonstration of Truth made in their presence to help them to "go and do... likewise" (Luke 10:37).
