Jesus' teaching belittled
Why has this Christian demand so little inspiration
38
Jesus said: "These signs shall follow them that be- lieve; . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Who believes him? He was addressing his disciples, yet he did not say, " These signs shall follow you," but them- "them that believe" in all time to come. Here the word hands is used metaphorically, as in the text, "The right hand of the Lord is exalted." It expresses spiritual power; otherwise the healing could not have been done spiritually. At another time Jesus prayed, not for the twelve only, but for as many as should believe "through their word."
