`He went from house to house,
treating the sick, feeding the hungry, comforting
the mourners, soothing the afflicted, speaking peace
to the distressed.' (WM170)
`What a busy life Jesus led.
Day by day He might be seen entering the humble
abodes of want and sorrow, speaking hope to the
downcast and peace to the distressed. The poor and
suffering received the greatest share of His
attention. Humble, gracious, tenderhearted, pitiful.
He went about doing good, feeding the hungry,
lifting up the bowed down, comforting the sorrowing.
To all who came to Him for help He brought faith and
hope and life.' (WM116)
`Just as we trace the pathway
of a stream of water by the line of living green it
produces, so Jesus could be seen in the deeds of
mercy that marked His pathway at every step.
Wherever He went health sprang up, and happiness
followed wherever He passed. The blind and deaf
rejoiced in His presence. His words to the ignorant
opened to them a fountain of life. He dispensed His
blessings abundantly and continuously. They were the
gathered treasures of eternity, given in Jesus, the
Lord's rich gift to man.' (WM57) |
