SUNDAYSEH 001 Lesson 9.—First Quarter, March 3 ,1 9 1 9 , THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Lesson Text, Mark 4:38-41; 5:15-20— Memory Verse, Mark 5:19—Golden Text, Ps, 126:3—-Commentary Pre- . pared by Rev, D. M, Stearne. ' The Incident of the storm stilled and the healing of tbe'demonlae are found also In Matthew and Luke,, and In the saine connecUop.v Thelr taking Christ even a sk * wasftmd ids falling asleep In the storm, may Imply tb it be was weary In hia body, £nd possibly in mind also. His labors -would give him a weary body, and the • unbelief and hatred all about him would tend to give him a wear? mind. ’ One of the ac­ cusations of the prophet against Israel was, "Ye have wearied the-Lord with, your words,”- (Mai,-2:17; see also John 4 :6.) ”When he said, “Come unto me, nil ye that labor and are heavy laden" (Matt 11:28) he knew what it meant to have such an experience, for “He was in all polnt^ tempted like as we are” and is touched wfth a feeling of our infirmities (Heb, ;4:15), Some­ times the stormy'»wind la*his.own, ai.sP when he dlvlded:'the sea by tt strong east wind, and sept a gfisat wind to nr- rest Jonah .(Ex. 14*21; Jonah 1:4); and It Is written l‘He cbmmandetli and ralseth,the stormy-wind" (Ps. 107:25), Sometimes the strong wind is from the' devil, as when he caused the death of Job’s children by :a strong wind (Job .1 :J9)1 But he can make the wrath of. men or demons to praise him and cause even a stormy wind to fulfil! his word (Ps. 148:8). In-Rev. 7:1, see the angels controlling the winds. It seems, to me that this great storm of wind of our lesson (v, 37) must have been from the devil becausd£the Lord rebuked It (v. 39), and- he would not re­ buke bis own wind; Now I would not give the devlt too much credit on the line of knowing things beforehnml, nor youid I make light of his knowledge, but there Is a possibility that he knew that If the Lord Jesus crossed over to Gadara he mtght lose that fine piece of his work In the form of that demon- possessed .man whom no chains could bind, and so fierce that no one could pass by that way. In Matt. 8 :28, it is recorded that’there were two of them, (f be lind that knowledge we can un­ derstand why he sent the storm to sink .If possible the boat with the Lord and his disciples. In -some respects the devil is an awful fool, and certainly does- not know the power of God, and in these days (1917-1918) when the stations arc raging, and the people imagining vain things, as never before,' the Lord has th«u’In derision, and will yet set h ir king upon bis holy hill" of Zion (Ps. 2:1-8). Even If the Lord, had allowed the devll to destroy th a t' boat, be could easily have -Walked nshorO on the water and enabled his* disciples to do- the .same. 1 like to ' watch him sleeping so calmly In the midst of that great storm, and there is no storm in. which we may not be calm if we have,faith in him. (Ps. 27 :l-8.) We are too often like the dis­ ciples,. and afraid dlmt some real evil will befall us, and he often has occa­ sion to say to us,. “Why are ye so fear­ ful? How la it that ye have no faith?" "Why are y* troubled, and why dO thoughts arise In your hearts?” (v. 40 and Luke 24:38.) How grand to see him quietly awake frdra sleep and arise and say to witfd and sea, "Peace, he still!” and. then to see the great storm give place to a great calm (vs. 87, 39). As he slept he was truly hu­ man, as he stilled the storm he was truly God ; so he was and .ever Is both God and men; and there never can be, In our lives or Circumstances a storm however great that he cannot with a word, change to a great calm, for he nlways was, and ever is, the one who maketh the storm a calm (Ps, 107:29). We may still hear him say, ”My peace 1 give Unto you,” and we can let the peace of God rule in oar hearts' (John 14:27; Col. 8:15), Be alone can still the present’strife Of nations, and speak peace to them all, and it shall yet be seen that he is the one promised to David to sit on his throne, and of whom David said, “Is tills the manner of man, O Lord God?” (2 Sam. 7:19; compare lesson verse 41). » - Does It not seem as if some of the nations were as deSion-posseesed today, ns this man, or these men, of Gadara? But our Lord Jesus has the same flow­ er as ever, and at the appointed time "Our God shall come, nnd shall not keep silence” (Ps. 60:9-6): After Israel shall have seen him coming In )ils glory and shall hare received him ac­ cording to Isa. 26:0; and bars come to her right mind, then shall nations run to her because the Lord God, the holy one of Israel shall have glorified her (Isa. 56:5; compare Mark 6:7). Ac­ cording to Matt. 8:29, the demons said, “Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" for they seemed to know that torment awaits them In due time (Rev. 29:10). This same Jesus Is dally delivering those whom Satan has bound with chains of sin, and there is ho case too hard for him; and he Is saying to all who have such afflicted ones, "Bring them to nm," “Have faith nhd doubt not.” The property of the Gadsrenes had been touched, and they bad -sought Jesus to depart from them (5 :i? ); and it Is so still when the gos­ pel conflicts with business; and we are moving on to the time when the devil will control all buying and sailing. <pev. 18:16,. 17).- ____ W ea r* now prepared to smoke m ea t and farm ers having their meat ready should bring i t in.
