Golden text—Christ died for our sins, according to the acrip- tures.—I Corinthians, xv.3 Our lesson calls for us to consider the darkest page In history, yet its brightest. John. who writes as an eye- witness of the events of our study this week, knew that the other three gos- pels had been written and circulated among the foilowers of Jesus Christ. It will be necessary for one who de- sires a complete and comprehensivé account of all the events of that crucial day to read all four gospels. John does not mention all the facts connected with the passion of the Lord, but we can understand his narrative better if | we reread the four records concerning the dark events of that day. Against the dark background of the Master's agony in the garden, where the treach- ery of Judas betrayed Him, the injus- tice and fllegality of the religious and civil trials, resulting in His condemna- tion to die upon the cross, we see by the aid of the Holy Spirit the glory, greatness and grandeur of the Master's | geath. Leaving the upper room, where he opened His soul to the apostles and tried to prepare them for the darkness through which they had to pass, Jesus went out into the night. He conducted the apostles across the Kedron, the “Black Brook,” to the inclosure, known as Gethsemane, or oil press. He had usually gone to that quiet spot for meditation and prayer after spending the day in Jerusalem. Judas, through his fellowship as a member of l?\e apostolic band, was familiar with the place. He was carrying on his work of treachery while the Master through prayer was preparing Himself for the crisis in His life and history. He was not surprised by the appear- ance of the traitor and the Roman sol- diers. He met them and overcame those who had followed Judas to arrest Him, He revealed Himself unto them and requested that the members of His party should be permitted to enjoy their freedom. He tried to save them from any trouble, while He willingly went to the cross. He did not want one of them to be lost, but He would make no effort to save Himself. Peter's rash attempt to rescue the Lord gave Jesus another opportunity to reveal His kingly char- acter. He ordered Peter to put up his sword, then requested, as & prisoner, the of being permitted to heal the ear of Malchus. There is something in His life to do the Father's will. It is peace than the way of retaliation. While Gandhi is not & professing Chris- tian, he is puttlnfia!ome of us, who claim to be the followers of Christ, to shame by practicing the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount. Christ's Trials. No one can read the record of Christ's trials in the synoptic gospels or in the account of John's gospel without being play of passion with which one event succeeds another. In fulfillment of prophecies Jesus is pitilessly hurried to the cross without regard to justice. Immediately following His arrest the Master was conducted with all speed that was possible to the house of Annas. where a preliminary and unofficial ex- amination was conducted. This man had served for a number of years as high priest and continued to exercise the functions of that office through the administrations of his sons and Caia- phas, his son-in-law, who was high priest that yeal Jesus recognized that they were not follo the law. He asked for His legal Tights as & prisoner. The private examination before Annas was con- trary to the expressed provisions of the rabbinical criminal code. No charges had been preferred against Him and His refusal to testify under such cir- cumstances was tlmmu‘hl{l legal. He was within His 71 en He de- manded that if charges were to brought sgainst Him they should be made by witnesses. | His respect for the law and its ob- servance by His insistence for justice and legal procedure. When the bru- tality of an officer brought an end to | the private examination Jesus was hur- ried to the quarters of Calaphas, where that scene that reveals the lofty char- | acter of the Christ, who had dedicated | more difficult to follow the pathway of | amazed at the cruel rapidity and awful ( be | y | Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. had predicted it when He said that “as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up * * * that whosoever pelieveth In Him should not perish, but have eternal life” This was the basis for His death upon the cross, upon Golgotha between two thieves. en Pilate inscribed the writing that was to be placed over the head of the crucified One he wrote “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” There is no charge against Him. There was an evidence of smallness and desire to taunt the Jews on the part of Pilate when he refused to change the in- scription, but proclaimed to the world | by his inscription that the One. whom through envy, pride and hatred they had delivered up to him, was their King At the foot of the cross Jesus saw the soldiers casting lots for His cloth- ing, in fulfillment of the Scripture. The seamless coat may have been made by His mother, who was one of the four | women who demonstrated their love | and loyalty by standing close to the cross. He committed to the care of the apostle whom he loved the care of His mother. John appreciated the honor and without doubt fulfilled that mission of love. He reveals the Mas- ter's thirst and how at the end of His life He said, “It is finished,” and died in triumph for us all upon the cross.
