REV. ]. J. DICKEY.

The lesson comprises two events III
the life of Christ-His baptism ana
temptation. Connected with HIS pap
t,sm ia the descent of the Holy Spirit,
in the form or appearance OF dove
and the voice saying This is my De-
loved son in whim | am well pleased.
When Jesus came to John the Baptist
To he baptised, John declined to do so,
saving: 81 have need to be baptized OF
thee" And Jesus said: Suffer it to
be SO now, for thus it behooveth us to
fulfill all righteousness" Baptism Is
an outward form or symbol OF an in
ward cleansing. But Jesus needed no
inward cleansing, so it did not mean
to Him what it means to others,
Jesus was our great high priest to
make atonement. for the sins OF the
world. He was circumcised, accord
ing to the law, thus fulfilling all
righteousness. The priests were set
apart for their sacred office by a cere-
monial baptism, so Jesus to fulfill all
righteousness" was set apart or dedi-
Gated to the Office of priest by his bap-
tism. John said, that he who sent MIN
to baptise with water, the same SAID
unto him that on whom the spirit
should descend and remain, He Is the
Son of God. The descent of the Holy
Spirit on Jesus was to show John that
this Jesus was the Christ, the Son OF
God. 1t was, also, the divine annoint-
ing for His work.
The Bible tells US that Jesus was
tempted in all points as we are tempt
ed. The first temptation was for Jesus
to use His divine power to minister to
His own good. This is mans greatest
temptation. Most men exhaust their
resources In blessing themselves while
Gods plan is for us to seed others
good. The bread and butter question
absorbs the energies of mankind. what
shall we eat, what shall we drink and
wherewithal shall be be clothed. The
devil sought to start Jesus out on that
line, but he failed. The second tempta-
ton was to have him exhibit his mirac-
ulous power, to overawe the multitude
by leaping from the pinnacle OF the
temple. The devil said: do it ant
the angels will take care of you" This
was presumption. Men are constant
ly exposing themselves to temptation
when they should avoid it. No mai
can expect God to keep him from evi
while he exposes himself to it. TIT
third temptation was another common
to man, an effort to gain power tina
X he may have glory. Universal empir
has been the dream of great leader
in all ages, Christ was conscious Q
his power, and as temporal rule
could have conquered the world. Thi
was the bride the devil offered Chris
the same that he offered to Alexande
the Great and others. Jesus fought tn
devil with "the sword of the Spir
which is the Word Of God" This
the weapon we must use, therefore "
should know the Word of God, that "
may have 1t always ready for self-d
