AN3Ar E return In todays lesson TO
OQ Matthew's gospel to continue
Ov our study Of the sermon on the
mountain. The selection chosen for our
lesson follows logically and chronologic-
ally our two former lessons from
Matthew's gospel that presented the
spiritual character of the ideal life in the
beattudes and the worldwide mission of
Christianity in the section that follows
the introduction of the Mess:anic mani
festo. The key to the ministry. message
and methods of the Master is found in
the dominating force of love. In inter
preting His gospel of the kingdom we
must view it's words. phrases and his
tory not only from the spirit of the Christ
but also consider the standpoint of the
people that heard the Masters message.
The correct. comprehension of Christ de-
mands that we understand the Jewish
attitude toward the Teacher OF Nazareth.
Not only is our salvation of the Jews. "

that commences with todays lesson is a
series Of studies in comparative religion
that reveals the vital relationship be-

Judaism was the cradle OF Christianity.
The message of Mt. Sinai, written in the
ten commandments. and the Masters ser

love of God, which truth Christ sought to
teach to his apostles.

Jesus realized the significance OF the
criticisms due to misunderstanding HIS
message, because His ministry. matter

Loyal Service.
Entering the service Of Christ involves
the taking of an oath Of obedience and
fidelity. A solemn engagement is made
to render loyal service to Christ's cause.
We all know the nature and character of
the service that is required. Are we ready
to assume the obligation and do all we
can for the honor and glory OF God? II
so, we can have no doubt of pleasing
Christ.
