Jesus Restores A Drowned Child

Now, in the evening Jesus stood beside a pool; a playful child had fallen in, and it was drowned, and friends were bearing it away. But Jesus called the carriers to stop; and then He stretched Himself upon the lifeless form, and breathed into its mouth the breath of life. And then He called aloud unto the soul that had gone out, and it returned; the child revived and lived.

 

Jesus Heals And Cares For A Dog
And Jesus saw a wounded dog; it could not move; it lay beside the way and groaned with pain. He took it in His arms and bore it to the home where He abode.
He poured the healing oil into the wounds; He cared for it as though it were a child till it was strong and well.

 

Jesus Feeds And Shelters A Homeless Boy
And Jesus saw a little boy who had no home, and he was hungry; when he called for bread the people turned away. And Jesus took the child and gave him bread; He wrapped him in his own warm coat, and found for him a home.
To those who followed Him the master said, “If man would gain again his lost estate, he must respect the brotherhood of life. Whoever is not kind to every form of life - to man, to beast, to bird, and creeping thing - cannot expect the blessings of the Holy One; for as we give, even so God will give to us.
