The Church a New Creation.

Ii was difficult for the SaVior's hear
ers to set d proper focus upon His
teachings. They could understand
John the Baptist's preaching of repent
ance ami reformation; but when Je-
sus declared. The Law and the Pro-
phets were until John, and since then
the kingdom of Heaven is preached,
this was 50 radical Il proposition as
to be difficult for the muses. TO grasp.

and the Prophets What door could
be opened TO the followers Of Jesus
which had not been open to their fore

tion Gods Kingdom? Did not King
David sit upon the throne of the
Lord ." Was it not promised that
Messiah should sit upon David's
throne and bless all the families of the
earth.
SympatheticaIy we must concede
that it was difficult for the Jews to
understand that before the blessing
could come to natural Israel, apother,
spiritual Israel. must be selected. BY
way of emphasizing this thought, our
Lord gave two paraboiical illustrn-
tons saying No man sews a piece of
unshrunken cloth upon an old gar
ment, because the shrinking of the
new cioth 5uld pun away the old and
increase the difficulty. Likewise. no
one would think of putting new wine
into old wineslkins. whose elasticity
had been exhausted, for the old wine
skins would be burst by the fermenta-
tion OF the new wine.
So the Gospel teaching is not patch
upon the Jewish Law, but is new
proposition. And the new wine Of the
Gospel Dispcnsation must be put into
new wine skins that will be able to
stand the stress Of the fermentation
sure to come. Thus our Lord did not
attempt to engraft His teachings up
or the Jews. but called out of Judaism
"A special class, which the Scriptures
denote as New Creatures in Christ.
1t is 10 these that the new wine of the
Gospel Message is committed, and
these are to experience the fermenta-
tion incidental to the preparation for

Pharisees Would Have Been Glad to
Have Jesus on Their Side.

The PhariSees would tolerate and
eat with the Sadducees although the
latter %ere practically unbelievers,
because they we're of the Weather and
therefore more respectable class; but
they entirely ignored and would not
eat with their less particular brethren,
whom they in general STYLED sinners,
regardless of their having true moral
status.
Our Lords disciples were nearly all
gathered from this lower or less ortho-
dox and less educated class of Jews.
Because OF our Lords talents the
Pharisees would have been glad to
have Hime as one OF their number.
provided that He would side with
them and uphold Them in their more
or less hypOcritieal pretentions of per-
lection and holiness, But jesus de-
nounced the claims of the Pharisees
as hypocriticaI. and told the common
people plainly that there We're none
righteous. no, not one''-that all need
ed Divine mercy, and that the humble
and contrite would be much more ae-
ceDtable to God than the boastful, the
proud, the self-conceired.
The scribes and Pharisees watched
that He ate and mingled with the less
respectable and less orthodox, they
disesteemed Him also, and put the
question squarely to Jesus disciples:
How is it that your Master eateth
and drinketh with publicans and sim
ners, and yet claims to be holy
This afforded Jesus the opportunity
which He desired OF giving a great
lesson in few words. He replied to
them. They that are whole have no
need OF a physician, but they that are
sick | came TO call, not the righteous,
hut sinners" Each must learn that
he himself is a sinner. and under Di
vine sentence and needing forgive
ness, before he can come into fellow
ship with God or become partaker of
Gods provision for eternal life. Jesus
Illustrated this matter in one of His
parallels saving, A certain Pharisee
went 10 the temple to pray, and, full
of self confidence thanked God that
he was not as other men, nor even like
the poor publican near him. The pub
lican also prayed; but in humility
feeling that he was a sinner, besought
Divine forgiveness. Jesus declared
that the Publiean was nearer to Di-
vine Justice thar the more careful.
mere upright, more orthodox Pharisee,
because the latter failed to acknowl-
edge mis- sins, his imperfections, which
could be forgiven only through their
acknowledgment.
"Thy Disciples Fast Not"
About that time fasting season
was observed by the Pharisees, and by
those who had accepted the teachings
of John the Baptist; but Jesus had
said nothing to His disciples about
fasting. Now the question arose, Why
was this? The Savi6r's explanation
was that while He was with them it
should properly be considered a time
of rejoicing and Teasing rather than
