My Friends:
In the lesson that we arc to study
for the coming Sunday we find that
Jesus is approaching the city Of Jcru
salem in triumphal entry and that he
is entering upon those last days of his
ministry upon this earth. 1t was on
Sunday, April 9, A. D. 80, that he came
into Jerusalem. In a short week he
was to be crucificd ut the instance of
the high church leaders of the Jews
who had for some time been growing
jealous and fearful rs the result of his
increasing popularity.
He had spent the day before at
Bethany, two miles from Jerusalem,
with his dear friends Mary and Martha
and Lazarus whom he had raised from
the dead. Jesus left the house Of his
friends in Bethany and started walk
ing toward the temple in Jerusalem;
but when he got to Bethphage which
was but q little ways from Bethany,
he sent for an ass and her colt that he
might ride into the city in accordance
with prophecy. 1t had been predicted
away back hundreds OF years before
he came upon earth that he would ride
into Jerusalem. If you will turn your
Bibles to Isaiah, G2:11 and Zechariah
9:11, you will read those prophecies.
The Scripture Lesson.
Before we proceed any further with
the discussion of the lesson let us read
the scripture lesson for Sunday as
found in Matthew 21:1-16:

lem. and were como to Bethphage. unto the
mount OF Olives. then Jesus sent, two disci-
pies,
