What he asked John to notice was
simply this: the blind see, the lame

a climax!) the poor hear good news.
The signature of God, in short, is
not sheer power; it is using what
power one has, to help people in
trouble. That was the sort of per-
son Jesus was.

ALL AROUND us is a troubled
world. Some men, seeing it,
infer there is no God. Others con-

be bad or weak. The truth is that
the signature of God is not to be
found in the evil and the confusion
of the world. It is to be seen wher-
ever freedom is standing against
slavery, wherever truth is pushing
back ignorance, where diseased bod-
ies are being healed, where sanity

Baptizer had grown
uneasy. Are you
the One we are
looking for,” he in-
quired, “or shall
we look for some one else?” Jesus’
answer to John was not to discuss
the theology of the Incarnation, or
anything of that sort. He just went
about his usual clay’s work.
In the course of that day he cured
a good many sick people, and
preached to some very poor people.
“Now go back,” he said, “go back
and tell John what you have seen
and heard.” What those men saw
that day was what Jesus at another
time called the “finger of God,” the
genuine divine signature.

Not By Bread Alone
THE EXPRESSION, “needy peo-
ple,” nowadays suggests people
who haven’t enough to eat or wear.
Jesus helped such persons; but he
knew well that men’s needs
yond well-cared for bodies,
was the poor man from the
yard, for example,—he was
enough. He didn’t want clothes,
and he was strong enough to steal
all the food he could eat. All he
wanted, in fact, was to be let alone.
But Jesus knew that what he need-
ed above all was a sane mind, a
mind no longer run over and tramp-
led by a regiment of devils.
When Jesus got through with him
he was clothed, but that was not
the best part of it. He was in his
right mind. So God’s signature is
not only written in a sound body, it
is in the sound mind. Again, .at Jer-
icho when Jesus invited himself to
dinner with that pint-sized tycoon,
Zacchaeus, Jesus did not go just
for the meal. He went because he
knew that Zacchaeus needed some-
thing.
