Lesson nEL.1!.M,!!!!. .1!., -.

Jesus, the Messiah, Foretells His
Death, Mark 8:27-37, for Sunday,
March 20.
The fact of Jesus being the
Messiah was SO important that Je-
sus sought to establish His disciples
in the knowledge of this truth.
v. 81. "And Jesus went out,
and his disciples, into the towns of
Caesarea Phillippi; and by the way
he asked his disciples, saying unto
them, Whom do man say that
ann" Jesus makes his greatest
revelations when alone with his fol-
lowers. The greatness of Jesus as
a teacher is seen in the heart
searching questions which he ask
ed. To secure more knowledge one
needs to use well what he possess
eS.
v. %. ''And they answered.
John the Baptist; but some say.
Elias; and others, One of the
prophets" Current opinion and
the fact that Jesus had traits SIM
liar to those of John the Baptist
and Elijah made the disciples an
swer a natural conclusion. Men
are known by traits Of character.
v. 20. And he saith unto them,
But whom say We that l am? And
Peter answereth and saith unto
him, Thou are the Christ" Peter
acted as the spokesman expressing
the sentiment of them all. Belief
in the deity of Christ lies at the
very heart of Christian faith. 1t is
important that men confess Christ
as the eternal Son of God, the Mes
siah, the Saviour Of the world,
which needs more of such Christian
witnesses.
v. 80. "And he charged them
they should tell no man." Jesus
did not wish at this time to arouse
needless opposition that would in
terfere with the success OF his
work. We must ever keep in mind
the success of the kingdom of God.
v. 81. "And he began to teach
them, that the Son of Man must
suffer many things, and be rejected
OF the elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes and be killed,
and after three days rise again.
There are two great principles of
faith, namely, (1) the divinity and
humanity of Christ, and (2) his
cross and passion, whereby he has
redeemed the world. The disciples
faith needed to be strengthened for
his crucifixion hour.
v. 80. "And he began to teach
them, that the Son Of Man must
suffer many things, and be rejected
OF the elders. and OF the chief

priests, and be killed, and after
three days rise again. Since Je-
sus foresaw what was coming, it
was wise that his disciples see it,
too. In world of sin which makes
for hardships and sufferings, Christ
and his followers will have to suf-
fer much and that innocently. Just
now the world is suffering very
greatly because of such a dominant
reign of sin. Our consolation in
the present world crisis is in the
hope that when it is all over the
Christian way of living may be
preserved.
v. 32. "And he spake that say
ing openly. And Peter took him
and began to rebuke him. Jesus
used plain speech SO there could be
no Misunderstanding. A good
teacher will make things clear. We
need always to make clear that we
are followers of the Lord Peter
held too much to the belief that the
Messiah's reign would be one of
earthly reign and glory; hence, he
did not welcome the gloom Jesus
pictured 1t is natural that we do
not want our best friends to suffer,
yet that is very common road to
travel; it is here that we are often
pitilessly helpless.
" 33 But when he had turn
ed about and looked on his dis
ciples, he rebuked Peter saying,
Get thee behind me, Satan; for
thou savorest not the things that
be Of God, but the things that be IF
men" The right way is not the
easy one, the way of human nature;
to take this way is to yield to tenn
tations; the one who induces people
to walk such way has the marks
OF Satan.
w. "a. "And when he had called
the people unto him with his dis
clples he said unto them, Whose
ever will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross
and follow me-" Jesus now makes
it clear that the Christian way of
living often calls for the surrender
of comforts and special privileges
man loves to enjoy The cross calls
for the surrender of our way which
cuts across Christ's way of living.
thus making a cross.
M. 35. For whosoever will save
his life, shall lose it.; but whose
ever shall lose his life for my sake
and the gospels, the same shall
save it," He that courts ease and
temporal advantages will in the
end suffer defeat and loss spirit
ually.
VS.. Sc, 81. For what shall it
profit a man, If he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in ex-
change of his own SOUL" Here Is
proverbial expression respecting the
supreme value of life eternal.
