Nay 0--0bedi.nce to Our King--John Is
10; John g. 22.)

True kingship among men is found.
ed in greatness of nature and service
The title, the office itself. means little.
There are crowned nobodles, ana there
are uncrOwned but royal personalities
to whom we instinctlvely yield our
homage. Christ meets the highest pos.
sible claims nf kingship Viewed in
his personality and nature he outranks
all. The greatest, while they seem far
from yielding their hearts to him, bear
witness to his greatness. He spoke
as never man spoke John 7. 46). Well
might he answer. when PLATE asked
him whether he was q king. ITO this
end have | been born. and to this end
am come into the world, that should
bear witness unto the truth" John
IS. 80.
Christ's deeds continually manifest
a character OF perfect purity, gentle
ness, and love, and yet of limltless
power. At the same time they are
the example and standard of ideal hui.
man life. If their spirit were embod
led In all human action, the kingdom
Of heaven" would come down on earth
Christ revealed a sacrificial spirit to-
ward the race of such personal
kind that it is worthy of securing
the undying allegiance to him OF each
individual soul. Others have died for
cause" but Jesus died for men.
Therefore he fulfills his own words
"whosoever would become great among
you shall be your minister: and who
soever would be first among you shall
be your servant.
Christ gained the crowning quality
for perfect rule by learning himself
to obey. Even as have kept my
| Fathers commandments, and abide in
his love" John Is. 10) Though he
was Son, yet learned obedience by
the things which he suffered; and
having been made perfect. he became
unto all them that obey him the au.
thor of eternal salvation" CIeb. 5. s.
| 81. Wherefore also God highly ex.
alted him, and gave unto him the name
which is above every name; that in
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow. OF things in heaven and things on
earth and things under the earth. and
that every tongue should confess that
| Jesus Christ Is Lord, to the glory Of
God the Father" (Phil. 2. Gid.
| The obedience of the Christian to
Christ springs out Of most sacred
personal relation. and is filed with
those tender personal motives which

ity. Rather II is the rule OF love and
gratitude. for love underlies all OF
Christs commandments We may not
always please others though we are
obeying Christ. 1t Is In living near
to Christ and having constant com
munion with him that conscious obedl
ence will pass into that higher range
