(Acts 17:1–15; John 11:47–57) “What should we do? This Man does many miracles” (John 11:47). Only Jewish learning found the culprit in the Savior. And in our days, the only thing that German scholarship finds inappropriate in the Gospel of Christ is the supernatural: everything is good, but this, you see, is not there. And both schools of thought agreed on the decision. The Jews decided: “it is better that one person should die” (John 11:50), and not all should perish; and the German put it: let’s eliminate the supernatural in order to preserve all the other truths of the Gospel. What happened? They destroyed the people, and these lost all Christian truths, and now they have almost nothing to do with it. The Lord is the cornerstone of the building of salvation; so faith in the supernatural is the cornerstone of the entire edifice of inspired truth. The Savior Himself, in His person, is the crown of supernaturalism, and in the Church is its inexhaustible Source. Anyone who touches on this point touches the apple of God’s eye.
