When Life Crows Rroader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count it. Our sense of proportion
Is largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is quiet and sheltered, and
the stream runs smoothly. we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief calamity, or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything. Our old interests
are dwarfed and look SO petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
triles to burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values We
have new standards of measurement
for our fellow men as well as our
selves.

!. John the Baptist Testfies to His
Disciples Concerning Jesus wv. %

!. Jesus as the Lamb of God (v. 29).
Lamb was familiar to the Jewish
mind. 1t denoted substitutfonary
sacrifice for sin. Christ was the true
lamb to which every sacrificial offtr.
ing pointed. He was the lamb which
Israel showed should be brought to the
slaughter elsa. So ~, upon whom the
Lord laid mans iniquity Christ was
Gods lamb because he was the one

world to make atonement for mans
sins Il Pet. 1:1S-o0) John invited his
disciples to behold the Lamb of God.

Ghost wv. 30-35).
The Spirit descended upon him as

who ask for him duke f1:13).

Being the son of God he is one in ma
ture with God.
II. Two Disciples Following Jesus
wv. 35-37)
As a result of the Baptist's Il esti-
mony, two of the disciples leave him
and follow Jesus. At Johns request
they looked This look was sufficient
to induce them to follow Jesus. A
sincere look upon Jesus is always
sufficient. John did not become en-
vious OF Christs success, but re-
ioiced in it (John 8 :26-29). All Sun
day school teachers should so witness
that the pupils will look to and follow
Jesus. This is the whole method, the
sum and substance of salvation.
ILL., The Disciples Abiding With
Jesus wv. SO, 39).
Seeing the disciples following him,
Jesus made inquiry as to their object.
Their reply showed the desire to go
apart privately where they could dis
close their hearts to him. He invited
them to his abode, where for the re-
mainder of that day they enjoyed sweet
with him.
w. The Disciples Bringing Others
to Jesus wv. 40-42).
Having found by experience what
fellowship with Jesus means, they go
at once and tell others of their price

Peter was Andrews brother. A true
brother who has found Christ will go

40. He witnessed to him concerning
the messiahship of Jesus. He told them
that Christ was he of whom Moses and
the prophets did speak. Christ is the
sum and substance of the Old Tesla
ment.
The disciples invited others to come
and see. They knew that if they
would but put Jesus to the test they
would believe. Christianity courts in
