Golden text—He came unto His own, and they that were His own received Him not. But as many as recelved Him, to them gave He the right to become children of God, even to them lihlzlhv‘llrvr on His name.—John 1, No man ever achleved greatness with- out creating enemies. Jesus, whose life {and labors were filled with love for in dirccting the studics |His fellowmen, pald the penalty im- |that * |posed upon all eminent pioncers and | emancipators of humanity. His own family considered Him insane. His malicious enemies spread the report that He was in league with satan. His success and Increasing popularity with men were responsible for these wrong views concerning the Master and the cause of the opposition madc by His friends and foes in their belief. Family Misunderstanding. Our education, environment and ex- perience mold our thought. It was so in Christ’s day. Not only the friends, who came down to°Capernaum to see | something of Him and His work, but the members of His family, when they attitude toward Him. The record of His works had preceded Him. They listened attentively to His message. which gripped them. They showed their unbelief by their questions con- cerning the source of His literary ability and healing power. They were unable to explain it. since He was not a graduate of any great Rabbinical school. His wisdom and power were not due to human development for He but His that sent Me.” Thelr question, “Is not this the car- penter?” is a revelation of their spiritual attitude and of Christ’s ca reer. It establishes beyond question Jesus, the founder of the Chris- tian religion, was a manual laborer, will gather the lives of nations and men are hands that have been dis ciplined by toil” The traditional place where He toiled is shown to vis- itors today. There He made with the aid of the tools of that day the doors. sash and the various pieces of furniture needed in the home and the equipment of the farm. A yoke made by Him would be priceless today. They would have been pleased to have Him stay in Nazareth as their builder, but they did not believe that it was possible for the widow's son to be the Messiah.

Are we any truer to Him than the dear ones from Nazareth who mis- understood the Master because they lacked faith? We prove our faith by our deeds. Do we always obey the Savior in our daily life and labor? Malignant Unbelief Exposed. Our criticism of others is a revela- tion of our own character. The hostile scribes testified to the miraculous work of Jesus by the slanderous suggestion, that they attempted to scatter secret- Iy among the people. “He hath Beelze- bub. and. by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.” They testified to the fact that they could not explain the works of the Master by the charge | of trickery, for He cast out demons in such manner that His work could not be questioned. They revealed their malignant unbelief by their slanderous |and absurd charge that He was league with Beelzebub, v god. J\‘]ho was believed to have sent the il horrible and filthy diseases among the people. Christ could not afford to allow such | & slanderous suggestion to gain foothold | among the people. so He promptly | summoned the authors of the false | charge to come to the front. There, in the presence of the multitude. Jesus met the hastile scribes upon their own | ground and mastered them with their own weapons. His defense proved to | be an aggressive attack. His argument was simple and strong. It hardly {needs any comment. He demonstrated |the absurdity of their accusations by | the question, “How can satan cast out satan?” The division of the devil's dominion meant the dissolution of his power. Matthew gives a longer ac- | count and several important features that ought to be considered in connec- tion with the study of this lesson. Jesus agreed with the scribes con- | | cerning the personality spirits at work in this of world. the evil He | points out, according to Matthew. that | iHlS work was the reverse of theirs. | and He charged the scribes to be doing |the work of Beelzebub. He warned them against their malignant unbelief by pointing out the peril of their com- mitting an eternal sin by their shutting their eves to the fact that Jesus was doing His work through the presence {and power of the Holy Ghost. In their | malignant antagonism. Jesus warned | them that they had been committing | blasphemy. and unless they quit they | were hastening toward a certain doom When one deliberately commits the unpardonable sin, it comes as a result of a series of “self-hardening and de- |praving acts.” The sin is an eternal {and “unforgiven. because the sinner is | fixed.in impenitance. and his stiffened | Will cannot bow to receive pardon.” Nazareth Rejected Christ. It was a short journey from Caper- | | naum, the thriving city on the Sea of | | Galilee, to Nazareth, among the hills. | | where Jesus had spent His life from | early boyhood until He left its charmed circle to enter upon His public ministry in response to the urge of the Holy Spirit. He had returned there before, | but was rejected. At the opening of His third evangelistic tour. He goes | back to the community, determined to | make one more effort to win the men land women with whom He had been associated ever since He had returnea from Egypt as a young bov.
