Opening the fish's mouth

HELEN L. CONNELLY

The most remarkable man who was ever on earth, Christ Jesus, solved everyday problems in unique ways. His spiritual sense pierced through humanly insurmountable challenges. To him, lack was an impossibility.

What examples he set for us! For instance, he obtained money to pay the temple tax in an unheard-of manner. During a conversation with Peter on the subject, Jesus told him, "Go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee."^{Matt. 17:27.}

We can learn from Jesus' deeds and parallel them so far as our understanding stretches. Jesus knew God to be the source of all good. Good is present, great, and limitless, the supreme law to every circumstance.
