THREE WARNING PARAHLEs
The Two Sons

But what think We? A man had
two sons; and he came to the first.
and said, Son, go work today in the
vineyard And ne answered and said.
4 will not but afterward he repented
himself an dwent. And he came TO the
second, and said likewise. And he
answered and said. I go, sir and
went not. Which Of the two did the
win of his father?''
They say, @The first"
Jesus saith unto them, Verify,
stay unto you, that the publicans and
the harlots go into the kingdom of
God before you. For John came Unto
you in the way of righteousness, and
,, we believed him not; but the publicans
and the harlots believed him; and We,
when We saw it, Gid not even repent
yourselves afterward that We might
| believe him."
The Greatest Commandment.
And one of the scribes came, and
heard them questioning together, and
knowing that he had answered them
well, asked him, what commandment
| is the first Of ALP"
Jesu sanswered, "The first of all is,
Hear, o Israel: The Lord our God,
| the Lord is one, and they shall love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
| thy mfad, and with all they strength
The second is this. Thou shalt love
! thy neighbor as thyself.' There is
none other commandment greater
than these"
And the scribe said unto him. "Of
a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said
that he is one; and there is none
other but he, and to love him with all
the heart, and with all the under
standing and with all the strength.
and to love thy neighbor as himself, is
much more than all whole burnt offer
ings and sacrifices"
Ant when Jesus saw that he ans
lwered discreetly, he said unit HON
Thou art not far from the Kingdom
tof God"
The Conspiracy Against Jesus
And it came to pass that when
Jesus had finished all these words,
/ he said unto his disciples, 'Ye know
that after two days the passover
cometh, and the Son of Man Is de-
livered up to be crucified."
Then were gathered together the
chief priests, the elders of the people,
unto the court of the high priest. who
was called Caiaphas; and they took
counsel together that they might take
Jesus by subtelry, and kill him. But
they said, Not during the feast, lest
tumult arise among the people"
And Satan entered unto Judas, who
was called Iscariot, being of the NUM-
Der of twelve. And he went away and
communed with the chief priests and
captains, how he might deliver him
unto them. And they were glad. and
they weighed unto him thirty pieces of
silver And from that time he sought
opportunity to deliver unto them in
the absence of the multitude.
Tuesday-the Great Lament.
Tuesday of the last week of Jesus
has been called the day of eontro-
versy. Controversy with Christ!
Arguing with Jesus! Finding fault
with the Savior! Where was it that
our Lord met such treatment? In
the capital city of his people; in Jeru-
salem, where every Jew prayed for
the coming of the Messiah, where the
prophets had spoken of the coming
of the kingdom of God Who was it
that set hiN at naught, challenged
his authority, sought to catch him in
his words? His own people whom he
loved, the leaders of the people whose
eager hope of the coming salvation
had become passion almost unpar-
alleled in history.
Jesus had come from Galilee to Of
fer himself unreserVedly to his peo-
pie as the Way, the Truth, and LN'e.
Jerusalem rejected him. He came
unto his own and his own received
him not.
And he left them. Left the temple
on that fatal Tuesday, never TO tread
its courts again Left the city to re-
turn only for the evening supper with
the twelve apostles and return again
a prisoner. But before he left he
spoke his last word to his people. the
! last public utterance that fell from
his Inns. Surveying all the history of
