STEVE} JESUS THE GOOD SH Golden Text—I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.—John, x.11 Christ’s claim for Himself of the! le of “The Good Shepherd” has ipped the imagination and thought {of the Christiuns duw 11 the cen- !turies of the chur story. We | owe the teaching of this lesson to the results of the Lord’s healing the man born Dlind, which was the subject we jconsidered’ last week. The manifest linjustice of the Pharisees, who | claimed to be the shepherds of Israel, n excommunicating the former blind nan for his loyalty drew Jesus to the side of the religlous outcast. The Master understood the mental suffer- in; the one, who had been ad- Judged to be soclally and religlously on a plane with the leper. because of his testimony to the Lord's power | nong men.

Abraham entered Pales- tine as a shepherd and throughout all {the Old Testament history God's care tor His people was frequently illus- 1 by the tigure of the shepherd's e for his flock. Mever hus pointed t that it has been used 0 times \ the Rible in that way. Possibly | lie Master may have pointed to some | bepherd with his flock when lle 1 to encourage the man who had ciples concerning their future work in the three related but distinct pic- tures that He painted of the good shepherd. Jesus sought to arrest the attention of His hearers by His ‘Verily, verily,” so that He might drive home His rebuke of the selfishness and rapaclty of the Pharisees. Against the durk background of their heart. lessness and falseness, our Lord painted the charming picture of His own tender, self-sacrificing love, and the purpose of His divine mission on earth in the warable of the good shepherd. He drew a sharp distine- tion between the Pharisees, as the false shepherds, and Himself, as the true shepherd. False and True Shepherds. Jesus did not declare Himself at the i beginning of this allegory as the Good Shepherd, but. step by step, He advanced in the development of His thought and the assertation of His ! high claims, preparing the way for the reception of Himself and His truth. He outlined the character of the Pharisees in a single sentence. They recognized at once the simple statement of facts. But, like many modern men, they applied to others the Master's charges of being a thief. The difference between the false and true shepherds is found in their method, motives and voice. The Lord, evidently, found in the imagery of the prophets the characterization of the Pharisees, who had usurped His authority when they excommunicat- They *had fed themselves,” when they should have ted the flocks first. They had “scat- tered them.” instead of shepherding They had ‘“slaughtered” the poor flock, and yet “held them- selves gulltles: They were like theives In their deceit and like rob- bers in their violence and selfishness. The people were sheep without a shepherd’s care. because the Pharl- sees were hirelings. Their hypo- critical efforts were being detected by the multiutde, who recognized their falseness in speech and service. Jesus claimed for Himself that He possessed the marks of the True Shepherd. He had come in fulfill- ment of the prophets. Both Jeremiah and Ezekiel delighted to call the One who was to appear “The Shepherd.” Christ was the true Shepherd, who had been introduced by the Baptist. He had come to call men back to God and to help them make the most of life By sacrificing His own life for men, the Lord has supplied the deep- est needs of the human soul. Salva- tion from sin, abundant spiritual life and a constant fellowship with God are aseured all who obey the voice of the Master, the true Shepherd. Christ knows each soul individually and calls them by thelr own name, when they enter into the fellowship | of the Christian life through the only entrance. | | | desus the Door. The Pharisees did not grasp CLrist's reference to Himself as the true Shepherd and to them as the false leaders of men, Jesus explained the significance by translating the natural into the spiritual, first of all announcing as a truth of solemn im- port that He is the door of the sheep (not of the fold), thereby setting aside the authority of the Pharisees and other self-constituted guardians of the flock, who refused to accept His mediation.” Dr. H. H. Jessup tells of seeing a shepfold in Syria without a door. These folds are usually byilt of stone, taken from the ruins’ of ancient buildings, or are made by a dense hedge, as high as a man, the tops are made of thorns to prevent robbers or wild beasts:from getting in at the sheep, which enter the sheepfold through an opening, that is closed at night by a door, which only the porter or watchman within can open. Notlclng its absence, Dr. Jessup asked, “Where is your door?” The shepherd placed himself in the opening and answered, “I am the door.” ~ Christ is the living door and only means of access to God. Christianity rests its claims to be the true and only way of salvation open for men upon the lord’s sacri- ficial blood. “He entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption” for those that enter by faith in Him, as their Saviour, in the way of life. The door that He opened was not limited by the narrow wall of Jewish theocracy or the barriers of national exclusive- ness. “If any man enters in” has the ring of the universal gospel of grace that opens the privileges of the king- dom of glory of which Christ is the door. He has commissioned His fol- lowers to carry to every man and na- tion the invitation for men to enter and find life, liberty, protection and sustaining grace through Him. Jesus then turned their thoughts back to the picture of the shepherd life so that He could emphasize His beneficent and disinterested purpose to bestow upon all that enter through Him the gift of eternal life. The thief enters that he might take life; the shepherd's presence with his flock is to protect their life, frequently by the gift of his own. The Good Shep- herd came that men “might have life-{ and have it more abundantly.” To re- ject Jesus is to be exposed to robbery, death and destruction. The end of sin and unbelief, whatever men may appear to gain or false teachers, moved by selfishness, teach other- wise is certain to be eternal loss, death and final ruin. The world's hcpe is through the acceptance by faith of the results secured by the sacrifice and service of the Good Shepherd. Self-denial, Sacrifice, Service. The Good Shepherd has secured for us the liberty of the soul,'scholarship and the state. He has assured all that follow His leadership that He will save them, protect them and provide for them at all hours. He proved His ) THE EVENING Sunday School Lesson love by willingly taking the sinners’ place upon the cross. No hireling would sucrifice himself to save others. The man whose heart is in his work can be counted upon to do his duty. ‘The Master tried to impress upon His hearers the fact that the measure of one’s obligation to serve depended | upon the position that they had as. sumed. The Christian is called upon to minister unto the needy, the broken hearted and discouraged by pointing them to the Christ as the source of their peace, power, prosperity and protection. Christ gave His life, notsonly for the } nation that ile loved but for the whole world. There ix no other way to secure for men the spiritual unity and brotherhood that will banish dis- cord, divisions and differences among men and nations, except we persuade them to recognize the unlimited love of Christ. The continued exercise of the spirit of the Pharisees separates men. False teachers create divistons. It is only as the leaders in civil, com. mercial “and church life catch the spirit of the Christ and dedicate their lives, love and labor to lead men to follow the living Lord that we can meet the probiems of doubt and de- spair that trouble many modern men While differences will continue to exist along ractal, national and re. ligions lines in the many flocks throughout the world, the pracgice in @ practical way of Christ's go#Bel by all His followers will usher in a new era, when, although there will be many flocks, there will be but one fold and one shepherd, the Messfanic Christ. He will substitute love for force, and brotherhood for hate among &ll who will recognize IHim, as the Good Shep- herd, by their faith and entrance into Him'as the door of salvation. security and sustenunce EXECUTIVE CoUNCL WILL MEET FRIDAY Advisory Body of \Episcopal Chqrch to Convene at Diocesan House.
