LESSON NOTES
The Strife TO BE First.-The strife
probably began when the disciples
were assembling in the upper room ana
were about To take their places at the
table. Even in this most solemn hour,
more solemn than they realized, there
arose a contention among the disciples
as to who should be the greatest, prob
ably with reference to the places Of
honor at the table. Elbow like .
mounting devil in the heart rules the
unreined ambition" But distinguish
n %
to have large usefulness. to grow In
holiness and love, and the desire to
have more honor and power, or even
to be better than others. To do the
very best we can in everything is our
duty
Jesus Washes His Disciples Feet
We gain very erroneous idea of the
meaning of this action il we imagine
that il was performed for mere ex-
ample Of humility, or even as an illus
tration. 1t was simply humbles
menial service that ought to have been
done by the disciples, but which they
refused or neglected to do. No WON
der the conscience-smitten disciples
we're ANA zed, and that Peter could not
endure that Jesus should wash his feet
After this the Passover feast was cel-
cbrated in the usual Jewish manner.
What is its significance? ~ 1t was
the anniversary of the birth Of the jew
ish nation (2) 1t marked the Divine
; favor and protection in preserving their
; frstborn from destruction. The de-
stroying angel passed over the houses
5 on which the blood was sprinkled, or,
/ as some take it, the Jehovah angel
E passed over and stood over the door,
> and shut out the destroying angel. (3)
1t concentrated their salvation from
the bondage OF Egypt, and their separ-
: alton to a holy life "a The sacrifice
e acknowledged their sin and need OF
I atoncment, ~ which they must apply
a to themselves by faith (6) The absence
5 Of leaven denoted their putting away
: sin. "a The bitter herbs were a token OF
their repentance. 90 The whole fore
!, shadowed the coming Of their Re-
l. deemer.
n The Teachings Of the Lords Supper.
u The supper is memorial OF a departed
r Friend, a prophecy of returning
s. Friend. and a parable. and vision, and
:. revelation Of perpetually present and
k everything ard life-giving Friend. Tho
e celebration Of this supper brings to re-
membrance the leading truths OF tho
Gospel of Jesus Christ
1t holds up to our view the infinite
love Of God, Who gave His only be-
! gotten Son.
1t brings to remembrance the life OF
. Christ. all He was and did and said.
II makes Him living reality to us. 1t
!. is an irrefragable proof that He lived
and died for us.
y As the Passover to the Jews, so this
supper helps us to realize the grievoua
n bondage of sin from which Christ has
redeemed u.s. -,
IN We must partake by faith, or it will
c be Of no avail.
