breath of prayer is the seeking of forgiveness. No such prayer ever fell from the lips of Jesus. On the cross, He prayed, “Fa­ ther, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). He did not pray, “Fa­ ther, forgive Me.” In another, this would be arrogant self-right­ eousness. But in Jesus, it flowed out of a meek and lowly heart. He did not ask for forgiveness because He did not need any. A divine security He is constantly aware of di­ vine resources always available. His miracles are not preceded by Icing and strenuous interces­ sions or labored incantations. Simply and easily He speaks and the power of God is mani­ fest. Pilate, the Roman governor looks in amazement at this man standing before him in the Judg­ ment Hall. He is the only One Who is quiet and undisturbed in all the tumult of accusation that is raging against Him. The crowds shout “Crucify him!” But He remains silent. So, the governor, looking into the face of Jesus says, “. . . knowest thou not that I have power to cruci­ fy . . . ?” (John 19:10). And Jesus replies, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above . . .” (John 19:11). He knows He is secure in the Fa­ ther’s will. S hey come bearing word to Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, that his daughter is dead. But Jesus enters into the roomwhere the mourners are wailing and quietly speaks, “. . . the damsel is not dead but sleepeth” (Mark 5:39). They look at Him in amazement and contempt. Our Lord moves into the presence of death with the absolute confi­ dence that at His word, the dead shall rise. He takes the hand of the little girl in His hand and speaks, “ . . . Little girl, I say to you, arise” (Mark 5:41, RSY). And she lives! At all times He is conscious of omnipo­ tent resources. This is unique.
