There Ire passages where we feel
that Jesus possesses power to dis
Germ events and hidden facts and
circumstances concealed from other
men; but here Jesus Is found IN the
reality or his humanity facing ex-
Deriences the depth and meaning OF
which are apparently in some
measure withheld from him. even
as they have been withheld from
other men who have gone the way
OF suffering. The intensity OF his
spiritual conservation Is not az
fected by the darkness that sur
rounds him. III there Is doubt in
his soul, IL is not doubt Of Gods
goodness or doubt OF the necessity
OF yielding himself % the Fathers
will as the supreme purpose and
goal OF his life.
Knew He Must Die
The doubt is merely regarding
what is 70 be the way in which his
mission will be fulfilled. And in
the intensity with which Jesus
prays that the cup may pass from
him, we realize the completeness
with which he has become n with
Us in sharing Il human nature.
The very form Of the prayer shows
that deep down IN his conscious
ness he realized there was no way
but the way of the cross. III was
simply with human feeling that he
shrank from that way.

instructive 10 us. few men are
martyrs by disposition and tenn
permanent. and the man who Is a
martyr in that way might well
inquire whether 1t is the right at

willing for a cause may be. after
all. only a high form on suicidal
purpose. To live for a cause as
long as one can live and work s1r
il IS surely more important than
Il die for X. except In the last
ANALYSIS where a man may be cali
w on To make the supreme sacri-
flee.
What appeals % us so strongly
about Jesus Is the normality Of his
life. the sound feeling. the plain
common sense, the absence % any
thing that usually marks the
fanatic. the crank. or the abnormal
man. What was remarkable about
him was the completeness OF his
devotion 10 truth, the thoroughness
with which ne lived for II, and his
readiness 70 die for IL when he be-
came convinced that TO die for u

The contrast between the trium-
phal entry into Jerusalem and the
experience that 50 soon followed in
Gethsemane we have already en-
phasized. AS tSe triumphal entry
stands a. a record apart from the
rest OF the story Of Jesus. SO in a
sense, though from 2 somewhat
different standpoint. the record or
the experience ln Gethsemane
stands apart.
Read in the light az the events
that followed the CrucifiXiOn and
the Resurrection. We feel the deep
reality or the experience and its
unity IN the whole story of the mis-
sion and ministry ~ Jesus. But
standing by Itself ID ia I'M contrast
with the passages that suggest the
unique power OF Jesus In insight
