NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR JANUARY 20.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth.
Ouke 4: 5000

John LII.
We pass wei the Judean ministry
of Jesus, which is mentioned by John
but omitted by the Synoptists, and
take up the thread of the narrative
at the beginning of the Galilean
ministry. John the Baptist was in
prison, and Jesus was now in the
second year of his public ministry.
The Divine Preacher.-Returning
to Nazareth. the scene of his boy
hood and early manhood, Jesus went,
on the Sabbath, into the synagogue,
in accordance with his usual custom,
and preached a wonderful sermon,
based upon the words of Isaiah
(chap. Gil, p.
We cannot regard what Luke has
written as the full report of all that
Jesus said in the synagogue. 1t must
rather be regarded as a condensation
or summary of the words of the di-
vine preacher who expounded the
Scripture to the people in the syna-
gogue that day.
The Mission of Jesus.-The words
of Isaiah, used by our Lord as the
text of his discourse, portray the
mission of the Messiah, and Jesus
applies these words directly to him
self, thus Enthusiastically claiming to
be the Messiah.
The words of Isaiah describe the
mission OF Jesus in it's broadcast and
deepest significance. 1t will be found
exceedingly helpful and inspiring to
study this description of the Mes
siah and to notice how perfectly
Jesus Christ fulfilled the prediction
of the prophetic seer of old.
Through Jesus and by him the
Gospel has been preached to the poor,
not only to those poor in worldly
goods, but to those who are poor in
spirit. Jesus has healed the broken
hearted, both those whose hearts have
been broken by sorrow and those
whose hearts have been crushed by
sin. He has brought deliverance to
the captives, those who have been the
captives of cruel superstition, of
hard-hearted tyranny, and of heath
en- conQuerors, as well as those who
nave De6u Juo slaves O1 luClE own
sinful passions. Jesus has given
sight to the blind, those blinded by
disease, those blinded by the tempta-
tions and follies of the world. He
has set at liberty those who are
bruised-bruised both'in body and in
spirit. And finally Jesus has pro-
claimed, by his coming, the accepta-
bic wear of the Lord.
The Reception of the Message
The reception given to the words of
Jesus by the people of Nazareth
gathered in the synagogue is typi-
cal of the way in which the gospel
message is ever received.
At first they recognized the
strength of the appeal made by
Jesus, for we read that they wonder
ed at the gracious words which pro-
ceeded out of the mouth of the Sa-
viour. But unbelief soon arose in
their hearts to dissipate the graci-
u influence of the divine message,
and they asked: "Is not this Joseph's
sonW Finally they rose up and
thrust him out and would have killed
him, if his divine power had not
saved him from their fury, so that
he passed through the midst of them
unframed.
The Rejection of the Saviour
We read of the treatment accorded
