"In considering the life of the Lord Jesus Christ the student of Scripture cannot fail to be struck wth exceeding richness and many-sidedness of every event recorded. The simple fact means so much. The side-lights and cross-lights are as full of meaning and instruction as the front view on which the direct sunlight falls. The raising of a dead man may be to us a sign of power; it may be an evidence of the Godhead of the Eternal Son; it may be the wonder of a dead man recalled to life; it may be a symbol of the resurrection; it may be an act of pity for a mother's sorrow; it may be the expression of the tenderness and kindness of Christ. We may regard it as it affected the dead man himself; we may consider the effect upon those who witnessed it; we may try and spell out the motives in the mind of Christ which led to its performance; or we may endeavor to trace the impression which it produced upon the Lord Himself.                      The combinations and permutations are almost endless; and each carries its own special lesson."  Rev. H. N. Bernard, M.A., LL.B.
