CHRIST'S MINISTRY--B.B. WARFIELD

B.B. Warfield (1851-1921), was one of America's great theologians. He was solid in the midst of apostasy. He contributed articles against the downgrade in  "The Fundamentals" which was an effort to stop the slide of Christianity. In our day, Warfield is recognized for his great contribution to the Christian faith. Here is a short reflection on our Lord Jesus Christ and His mighty work on earth.

When our Lord came down to earth, He drew Heaven with Him. The signs which accompanied His ministry were but the trailing clouds of glory which He brought from Heaven, which is His home. The number of the miracles which He wrought may easily be underrated. It has been said that, in effect, He banished disease and death from Palestine for the three years of His ministry. If this is exaggeration, it is pardonable exaggeration.
