Matthew 11:2-19—June 16. Text—'"Amongst them that are born of women there is none greater than John; yet the least in the King- dom of God is greater than he."— Lake 7:28. It would be difficult to express in words a higher tribute to John the Paptist than Jesus paid him in our text. Again He said, “There hath not risen a greater prophet than John the Baptist.” If then John was s0 holy a man, so great a man from the Divine standpoint, why did our Lord in this text declare that the least in the kingdom of heaven would be greater than John? This text has puzzled Bible exponents for many a day. It has seemed 10 many to be contradictory. But just as soon as we turn on the light contained in that word “king- dom,” the entire subject becomes clear. God had promised a Messiaic Eingdom, and Jesus had come thai He might be the head of that King- dom. The steps leading to the king- dom honors and giories were steps of to God, even unto death, and these steps Jesus had begun to tuke. On the cross He declared, “It is finished.” He had finished the work of proving Himself loyal to God and to the Truth even unto death on the cross. ahedience Jesus thus became the G t Con- r, the great High P t, the King of Glory, being exalted to the heavenly state in His resurree- ticn. Bat, King, ¢ was to have associated with Him in Itis Throne, As the Great Pr an un- wer o I'riest hoad.” of the as the great His Bride class, He was to have sthood, a “Royal As the Great Judge world, He was to have ciates; Yaul declares, "Know ye not tha nts shall judgze the world?” In the Divine Plan this company of associates with Jesus in His glori- ous kingdom were much fore- known and foreordained as was e and His share in the kKingdom. As it was necessary for Him to undergo trials and testings of loyalty unto death, so it must be with the class called to be His associates—"He was tempted in all points like as we are. ' Thus His message is, “To him that overcometh will 1 grant to sit with Me in My Throne, even as | over- came and am set down with My Fa- ther in His throne.” These would be followers in His footsteps, none could precede Him. Nis work was neces- sary first, to open up for His follow- ers a new and living way, through the veil-—that is to say, through !lis flesh - through His sacrifice. “Some Better Things for Us.” While about five hundred brethren became Jesus' consecrated followers during His carthly ministey, they were not then aceepted of the Fa- ther as sons, and not begotten of the Holy Spirit until Pentecost. God would not recognize any as sous un- til Jdesus had finished His sacrifice and, Advocate, “Ap peared in the presence of God for us™ Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous John did not belong to this class, just as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets did not belong to it n their reward will e different from that of the church theirs will be an earthly reward.
