there is none other but he. And
when Jesus saw that he answered
discreetly, he said unto him, Thou
art not far from the kingdom OF
God. And no man after that burst
ask him any questions. Jesus was
fair with his questioners. He gave
en- cridit for their answers when
they were sincere and true. He was
not retaliating by trying to catch
them, but tried to lead them into
truth. In the sense that this scribe

Jesus and His Adversaries, Mari
12:2S-40, for Sunday, May 21.
During the last week in the lif'
of Jesus, before the crucifixion, th'
Pharisees and scribes were bus.
with plots to entrap him; they sen
some of their keenestl mon to Jesus
with crafty questions which Jesus
answered in a manner that non
plused them. In the lesson of today
there is recorded the conversation
started by keen, educated lawyer
V. 28. .ssAnd one of the scribes
came and heard them questioning
together, and knowing that he had
answered them we'll, asked him
What commandment is the first OF
all?" This scribe seems to have
been sincere because he acknowl-
edged that Christ mad answered
well. His question, however, was
calculated to arouse ANY antagon-
ism against Jesus, particularly If he
should set aside the oral law and
thus invite rupture with the masses,
or If he should magnify certain
favorite commandments aand omit
others equally important.
". 20. @Jesus answered, The
first is, Hear, Q Israel; the Lord our
God, the Lord is ,une.' The other
nations worshipped many gods, but
the God of the Jews was only oone.
Here was common point of agree
ment.
v. 80. "And thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul and with all
thy mind and with all thy strength"
Here was an Old Testament COM
tmandment which was quite covered
up with others generally advocated.
1T is fundamental that first of ali
one must be right with God, and
this involves such supreme love as
will put God and His will first in
affections, purposes, desires, mo-
ltives and service. Since God is love,
his love dominates the soul in di-
rect proportion to the enthrone-
ment of God in that life.
". 81. "The second is this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |!
There is snone commandment greater |
than these" This second command
ment is the complement of the first.
If we love God, we must love men,
too, for they are his children and
bear his image. These two COM
when obeyed motivate
life. The trouble with society and
with the world is that it is not prop
erly motivated.
