MEN ARE FOOLS TO ASK Me TO BE FALSE TO GOD
Men that envous narrow and bigoted will do any
thing.
It must needs be that offences Gomez but to that
man by whom the offence cometh."
Now, the Savior had already told them that He to
be delivered into the hands of wicked do you think that
made them feel very happy No they sad and down
cast and troubled.
And then to have the spokesman of the Apostolic Col
ege told straight that before the cock shall crow thou
shalt deny Me thrcev'
What effect do you think that must have had upon
them?
And then, at last when the Savior troubled and
His soul sorrowfu, unto DEATH and He asked
"What shall say" they His countenance which in
Dictated what going in His Spirit
At last, when He said, Zone of you shall betray Me,
TIL warrant you there was some understanding!
They said "Is it I? "Is it II"
Oh the horrible crime Of Judas against his Lord and
Master!
The Apostles had beckoned to John, who was leaning
his head Jesus BOSOM to ask the Savior who and
the SAVIOR sad "He to whom shall give the sop when
shall dip it,
He dipped the sop and gave it to Judas and after that
the Devil entered into him and he nerved for the most
dasardy deed committed in this world and he went
out and sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver
WHEN ALL MEN REALIZE THE VALUE OF TIME
Now the Savior has only little time before the cruel
fxion
Let me ask you men and women brothers and sisters
if you that you had only twentfour hours to live
would you waste minute?
will guarantee that if there any good thing in you
it would out within the allotted time.
And the Savior in the few intervening hours spoke
| the words contained in this cluster of chapters
/ One writer noticed when studying yesterday, says
that this cluster of chapters not surpassed by anything in
the world that they constitute the most beautiful gem
given to humanity.
If you will only begin with the Twelfth Chapter of
John, with the words "And what shall say?" and then
pass through the Thirteenth into the Fourteenth Fiji
teen and Sixteenth Chapterwhen you get to the Seven
teenth it is wonderful
And now here is the Savior after He has told His Apos
ties that He about to be killed and that Peter the bodes
one of the lot will deny Him. and that Judas will betray
Him. will warrant you there silence there for long
time!
1t almost to if I could see that little
pany talk about it, and could enter somewhat into their
feelings and experiences.
No doubt after period of sence-although do not
know all that saidthe Savior said to them Let not
your heart be troubled!
That is a very significant exhortation!
He did not say, "Be we not troubled but "Let not
your heart be troubled!
TROUBLE THAT IS COMPARATIVELY UNIMPoRTANr
There is trouble that the surface and that does
not amount to much.
Even the best saints the choicest of Gods children
those nearly perfect there will be times in their
lives when the surface there will be trouble while in the
heart there will be no trouble.
Think for instance, of the The waves may be
dashng high but deep the waters there perfect
calm!
So it is with the true child Of God
The Savior said "Let not your heart be troubled'
consong them if He said, faith in God and in Me will
drive away all trouble!
This is always true!
The who recognizes God as the first cause, who
recognizes God the Great Creator of the UniversHs
GROWING work being man-who recognizes God having
made the and the and the stars and this beautiful
earth of who recognizes that God the Gver Of
good and perfect gf-how he help having unwaverng
faith in God?
When has great faith in God it is easy enough
great faith in the Son of Cod whom God sent into
this world for Christ God manifest in the flesh.
Faith in Cod Faith in Me-" said the Christ-"that
will drive away all trouble! And SO it will!
The whose faith is in God is troubled in
heart about anything He gives anxious thought about
food ramen shelter He is not concerned about what
say threaten, do With his eyes fixed upon God
with unwaverng faith in God and in the Christ His Son,
he knows the end is perfectly sure
