I. Jesus ForetelIs His Death and
Resurrection.
l. The King on His way to Jerusa-
lem wv. 1719). This is His last jour
ney to the beloved city. He took the
twelve disciples aside from the group
OF travelling pilgrims to make known
unto them what was before them. On
the journey He went ahead of the dis
ciples. The courage thus shown by
tie Lord amazed the disciples who
were following in fear Mark 10 :32).
Christ, the conscious and certain suf-
ferer, Is courageous. His followers
who had nothing to fear were afraid"
2. Betrayal and death foretold
wv. IS, 19). He went forward fully
conscious of the awful tragedy of the
cross. He for the third time since the
TRANSPORTATION tells the disciples of
His suffering and death, but they are
so filled with their ambitious schemes
that they do not understand Him. The
treachery of Judas Iscariot; the
fierce prosecutions of the chief priests
and. scribes; the unjust judgment; the
delivery to ,Pontius PLATE; the mock
ing; the Scourging; the crown of
thorns; the cross; the hanging be-
tween two malefactors; the nails;
the spear; all were spread before His
mind like picture. Though He knew
all this He deliberately pressed ON.
The joyous outlook upon the victory
which would be accomplished by the
shedding of His blood led Him for
ward. He went courageously, for He
knew the time had come for the ac-
compllshment of His Fathers will.
