March 24-Jesus Ministers to the
Nltitudea Mark 6, 1914.
We have for our lesson this week
me of the great miracles performed
~ Jesus while one the earth. We
ave added to that one of the talks
u the Master which contains words
1 Il most important import to us all.
he miracle was the feeding of the
i've thousand, using five loaves and
wo small fishes as a basis.
The people came to Jesus in des.
sft. place and we're so anxious &c hear
silm that they remained until there
rs no time to go to the villages for
Hchd. The compassion OF the4Saviour
yssoS aroused for the men, women and
dren before Him. He decided to
ia them right then and there. All
sS familiar with the circumstances
|ales Nv He bid the people divide up
YSaupes; took the bread, break 1t,
III thanks and told the disciples to
cute. Again the fishes were
INK sas, blessed and handed out. There
o 8: hough and to spare. The PEG.
No. aere delighted and electrified,
ID to make Him their king then
there. They followed Jesus to
her place on the sea shore hoping
ii Smore food. It was then He told
Io. 4they were after the "loaves and
ssosg13" and not called together to find
better ways Of living.
L lie miracle was indeed wonderful.
No. great value comes from the words
NN9Oesus In the sixth chapter of John
Az which He makes declarations of
she utmost importance based on the
feeding Of the multitudes. hope that
all stlterested in the lesson will turn
to- that chapter and read it in full. I
DhAlt however. bring forward some
1f III leading thoughts in the para. |
StADhs which now follow.
FIRST. Jesus sets forth one Of the |
lr6e standards for living.
Labor not for the meat which
l perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting
Here i. !. great declaration, for 1t
1f0 ~ ~ lththere is a difference be.
st.s. II fhineS which perish after get |
and those which shall endure |
xkll eternity. It stands on the same |
y t. - the great verse, what shall
!. proiit q man to gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" What
are riches, power, position. animal
comforts In comparison with things |
which will gain for us blessed eternal
lie? Here is q call to labor for the |
real things, and not the frail and fool !
ish.
second. Jesus calls Himself the
'shfeadS Of life" and says that all who |
feed Jon Him shall hunger no more |
and finally obtain eternal life. Note
what is said:
This is the will of God, that
every one who believeth on His
4 son Jesus may have everlasting
4ife and will raise him up at
Athe last day."
IA Here are the familiar words "be.
@ieve on Jesus. have faith in Him, and
Everlasting life is given" Here you
have the 'key to heaven" which l
spoke about some weeks ago. 1t was
at this time Jesus said Him that
cometh to Me will in no wise cast
0Ut..''S Here are most comforting
words, for we are told that Jesus
stands ready to receive you and me.
Md II we come there is no danger OF
Ming turned away. Are not these
Words indeed comforting? "
Third. Jesus says that believers
on Him have now the beginning OF
everlasting life Read this:
He that believeth on Me hath
N everlasting life"
4 The eternal life Jesus tells Of is thus
mot something to be obtained long
ways In the future. but one has its
beginning now. II some one OF great
wealth should come to us, and say
that from now onward he would guar
antee us an income of ten thousand
dollars year, that would be joyful
