JESUS INTERCEDING.
DR.. JOHN HALLS NOTES ON THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

Lesson XII of the International Series
for Sunday, Sept. I9-Golden Text, HE
Ever Liveth to Mako Intercession for
Them" John xvii, 1-26.
Never was prayer like this offered on
earth. No wonder that the committee select
ing the lessons could not divide this chapter.
Jesus had instructed the disciples as they
could understand him. His hour was at hand.
He set them an example by calling upon God
in trouble He sets all of US an example by
making his prayers SO scriptural. There is
not petition in it that has not its elements
in foregoing Scripture. To show this we have
taken all the Scripture readings from the Old
Testament, and we ask study for them. We
can thus employ New and Old. The prayer
is exactly fitted to the circumstances and
while addressed to the Father, like all other
true scriptural prayer, it taught the disciples
and teaches us.
No teacher can put all the truth in it into a
lesson. We can only take the outstanding
points and set them in the light Of other
Scripture and of the situation. His attitude
is not stated. 1t is a small matter His look
is described, "eyes to heaven" His appeal is
10 his Father" So "our Father" is for US. in
his name
l. Jesus prays for himself w. la on the
eve of his agony and death John xviii, y. The
hour is come See John xii, 81, 2S The
clarifying of the Son by sustaining, vindicat-
ing, raising him from the dead is in order to
the Fathers being gloritied by an innumer-
able saved multitude knowing God and serv-
ing him. Christ's eye is on his great mission
Matt xvii, 5l-j4 is the best illustration Of
this. God is owned as sending the Son with
power over all flesh" See John iii, l4-l6).
Daniel vii, IA says this. Christ says it in
Matt xi, %. The great interest is in mems sal
walton. See John vi, 37-40l
God is sovereign in this matter, "as many
as Thou hast given him"
The way to eternal life is by knowing God
and this through the sent One. Paul taught
that Rom. K, ~, and to the Corinthians
III Cor iv, O.. Jesus taught it John xiv, 90.
Education, civilization, humanity, are all
good, but they are not eternal life
Mans chief end is to glrify God SO it was

", "a, was Ia do the Fathers will The way
TO glerify Him was to finish the work He
gave to be done 1t is so with US also See
John XIX 3d.
V. s. Jesus speaks as mediator to the Father,
and asks the glory he had before creation.
Can this be understood if he was a creaturel
