"We know thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." "What is a _miracle_?" "It is a _great wonder_. 'Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee.'" "What does _verily_ mean?" "It means 'indeed.' 'Except a man be born again.'" "What does that mean?" "It means a great change, a change of heart." "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." "And what is that kingdom?" He paused a moment, and with a very serious, thoughtful look, placing his hand on his bosom, he said, "It is _something here_;" and then, raising his eyes to heaven, added, "_and something up yonder_." This poor boy had been taking lessons from "the Great Teacher," and he had taught him some of the most important things that we can ever learn. Jesus may well be called "the Great Teacher," because of his great knowledge. _But there is one other thing that Jesus has, which helps to make him "the Great Teacher," and that is_--GREAT POWER. |
