We must keep before us In all these
studies in Matthew that we are con-
sidering Jesus as the King OF the
Jews AS such He was born. and as
such He was crucihed Iii, 2; XVII. Sd.
He Is mentioned in chapter l, /, as son
of David. son OF Abraham" and we
need TO remember the unconditional
promises to both, all OF which shall be
fulfilled in due time. There are many
who see In Jesus only a Saviour by
whom they may reach heaven when
they have TO die, but such Is not the
revelc ton of Him In the Scriptures.
He Is the KShg OF kings and Lord of
focde, the prince OF the king of the
earth, before whom all kings shall fall
down and whom all nations shall serve

as a righteous nation at the center.
was plainly and fully revealed in the
Old Testament and was preached by
John and Jesus and the twelve and
the seventy as at hand. That the Mes
slab of Israel should suffer before he
should reign was also plainly stated
and typifed in the lives OF Joseph.
Moses. David and others. but that a
long period, an age. should intervene
between the sufferings and the glory
was not revealed in the Old Tesla
ment. This is the mystery kept secret
since the world began which was spe-
cially revealed to Paul (Rom. xvi. Is,
&c; Eph. Ill. Ill; Col. 1. &c. 20.
When Peter. by the Spirit OF God,
confessed Jesus as the Christ, the Son
OF God. then Jesus for the hrst time
spoke Of His church which He would
build on that foundation truth. But
Peter. not understanding the Scrip
tures nor the purpose of God. rebelled
at the thought Of Jesus sufYerings
Then our Lord taught that all disciples
must be willing to suffer with Him
but that there would surely be a re
ward and that. though He and HI.
followers were for a time to be con
