Meanwhile Judas had been busy When
he went out from the upper room he
was smarting under the rebuke of Christ.
He determined to carry out his agree
ment and to deliver Christ at once, into
the hands Of His enemies. He would
first go to the high priest and ask for
a guard. But the Jews did not have the
power of life and death. They, therefore,
had no guard to give. On some plea,
that is not given, they appealed to Plate.

The Victory.

The reader of this history will see that
Immediately after the third visit to the
three disciples there came to Jesus a
something that completely revolutionized
His feelings. The lesson says that there
appeared an angel unto Him from heaven
strengthening Him. But how was that
strength impaired? 1t could not have
been by any physical touch; it must have
been by a revelation. The angel was
commissioned by God to bring to Jesus
the assurance that His death would not
turn away the Fathers love; but that it
would be to the universe of angels and of
men the browning evidence of that love-
In moment Jesus was TRANSPORTED.
His tears were dried. His fears were
gone. He was alert. He had asked the
three disciples to watch: but it was His
eye that first caught sight of the lam
terms, and 1t was His ear that first heard
the tramp of the approach guard. He
could say now "Sleep on, and take your
rest; it is enough, the hour is come Be-
hold. the Son of Man is betrayed into
the hands of Sinners" He was now pre-
pared for all that awaited Him: His re-
lection by the crowd, the insults by the
rulers. the buffeting, the torture, for all
this He was now prepared. His death
would not be a failure: out of it would
come the greatest glory to God, and the
greatest good to man. Now, with death
nearer than ever before, with Calvary
standing clear cut against the eastern
sky, He is undismayed.
