I am the Son of God

"...Do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?' "

    This window illustrates Christ's miracles of healing.

    The symbol in the medallion bearing the window's inscription is the staff of Moses raised to heal the children of Israel in the wilderness.  The large central medallion shows Jesus as He heals the palsied man whose friends  (seeing they could not get the sick man through the crowd any other way) lowered his bed through an opening in the roof.  The central medallion below the inscription shows the one leper who returned to give thanks to Jesus for being healed while the other nine, also healed by the Master, left without a backward glance ("and he," says the record, "was a Samaritan at that!")

In the left lancet, the woman of great faith touches the hem of Christ's garment and is cured of her illness.  Next below, the nobleman pleads for his son's life, praying  to Jesus that he say the word of healing and the boy will be well. Below, Jesus is in Capernaum at the home of Simon Peter,  whose mother-in-law He heals of a fever.

    In the center lancet,  the crippled man beside the pool of Bethesda, who had patiently come there hoping for healing for thirty-eight years, claims the sympathy of Jesus who heals the poor man of his infirmity and sends him away whole as other men.  At the bottom,  the demoniac of Gadara appears. His wildness shut him off from the company of all other humans.  Jesus makes him well.

    The right lancet, at the top, shows our Lord speaking the word that heals the servant of a Roman centurion.  Below, center, He unstops the ears of a man - long deaf;  at the bottom,  he casts the evil spirits from a devil-possessed victim.
