for his sincerity: Jesus saw Ma
thaniel coming to him. and saith OF
him. Behold an Israelite indeed, in
whom is no guile."
He commended John the baptist
for his courage And when the
messengers of John were departed,
he began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, What went We
out to the wilderness to behold?
reed shaken with the wind? But
what went We out to see? man
clothed in soft raiment? Behold
they that are gorgeously appareled
F. and live delicately are in kings
courts. l cay unto you among
tthem that are born OF women, there
| is none greater than john.
Apart from these we do not find
much commentator in his words.
But if he did rot compliment man,
neither did he despise or belittle
him. To him man was not proto-
plasm plus evolution, or monkey
plus education. In striking way
! he set his seal to the truth that
man was created in the image OF
God. He said, Bring me dena-
sius Ga Roman coinl that | may
see it. And they brought it. And
| he saith unto them, whose is this
image and superseription? And they
said unto him. Caesars. And Jesus
said unto them. Render unto Gaze
sar the things that are Caesars,
and unto God the things that are
| God s. = The coin bears the image
of Caesar-give it to him: man
bears the image of God, let God
have what belongs to him. A travel
| err viewing the ruins of an ancient
temple, sees the glory that was and
the ruins that is now, so Christ
viewed man. Made in the image OF
God but ruined by sin.
Condemned Many Men.
/ The first note sounded in his
message to men was, repentance
From that time Jesus began to
preach. and to say, Repent ye; for
the kingdom of God is at hand.
Man is wrong, and to get right he
must reverse his cause
He taught that a mans standing
/ before men did not give him stand
| ing with God and he said unto
them. We are they that justify your
selves in the sight of men: but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which
is exalted among men is an abomi-
nation in the sight of God" A man
may stand high in the commercial
world. or woman may stand high
in the social world, and in the sight
of God be abominable.
Christ told men they were the off
spring of vipers: Eye offspring of
vipers, how can We being evil speak
] good things.
/ He told men they were white
| washed tombs. Woe unto scribes
and Pharisces. hypocrites. for We
are like unto whited sepulchres
which outwardly appear beautiful.
but inwardly are full of dead mems
! bones, and all uncleanness. Even so
we also outwardly appear righteous
unto men, but inwardly We are full
of hypocrisy and iniquity
H He told men they We're children
of the devil I'VE are of your faith
er the devil. and the lIsts of your
/ father il is your will to do" He
told men they were on the road to
hell: "Ye serpents. we offspring OF
| vipers, how shall ye escape the
/ Judgment of hell?"
ment of mans sin. and so terrible
his condemnation of his Hypocrisy
that men hated him To the death.
He said TO his brethren, THE world
cannot hate you, but me it hateth
because l testify of IL that its
works are evil"
ihdt preacher mat compromises
with sin or fails TO condemn sin and
hypocrisy Is not preaching Chris
tiaEity according 10 Christ.
Compassion for All Men.
