YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -The spirit us dirfat tan Service. I. Jesus Dina* With a Pharisee (v. I) Je»uß entered freely lutu the cutuuivti social custom* of the tlaty. We see Him at a wedding, a dinner party, in the home of sickness, and at u funeral, lie uas truly a man among men. Lie was unlike John the Baptist In .this respect. The Christian's lutlueuce la best when tulngllng with his fellow wen In all right relations and positions in life, even though selfish and evilminded persons are found among them. This does nut mean that he should be a partaker of their evil deeds. Jesus in thus moving In all circles of human society allowed the divine sympathy. While Jesus was In Society he was not of it. So should the Christian be. Jesus was In a com pany outwardly courteous but Inward ly hostile. Doubtless the motive of the invitation was to find an txusluti against Him. This Is implied In the statement "they watched Him.” 11. Jssus Healing a Dropsical Man (vv. 2-fl). 1. Why This Man Was Present (v. 2 There Is no way of absolutely de termluing it, but likely it was part ot a plot of the Pharisees to trap Jesui ( by getting Him to violate the SabbatP rules. 2. Jesus' Question (v. 8). Jesus question was un answer to the thought; of tlie lawyers and Pharisees win were watching Him, for they hud not spoken. Before healing this mun He submitted the ease to their judgment They were free on the Sabbath day t< hold a feast where their selfish pridi and vanity could be displayed, but they were horrified that a fellow-man should be healed on the Sabbath. They were silent because their consciences madt them ashamed of their heartlessness. 3. Healing the Man (v. 4). While they were In a state of embarrassment Jesus healed the man and let him go. 4. Jesus Rebuked Them (vv. 5,6). He laid bare their hypocrisy by showing them that their willingness to show mercy to a beast on the Sabbat li should Induce them to regard as not sinful to relieve a human being of distress oti the Sabbath. They were again silent for they jiercelved their inconsistency and inhumanity. 111. Jesus Rebukes Selfish Ambition (vv. 7-10). L The Occasion (v. 7). He observe that the guests while taking theii places at the table chose the besi seats for themselves. This Is still trui of mon and women. In the railway curs, hotels, street ears, etc., they scramble for the best places. In tin Isotoes even members of the same fam Uy will try to get the best food, etc. 2. Instruction Given (vv. Hl) When bidden to a feast, take the lowest place lest you suffer the humllhi tion of being asked to take a lowei seat. This Is more than a lesson »n courtesy or table manners; It Is a severe rebuke of that selfishness which fills the human heart, causing it to seek to be ministered to Instead of ministering to others. Unselfishness will ex press itself in humbly taking the lowest place, esteeming others better than ourselves. The fundamental principle of the philosophy governing the moral world, Jesus declures to be: “Whoso ever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” IV. The True Motive In Deeds of Charity (vv. 12-14). Jesus takes advantage of thia social occasion to teach a great principle The Jews, like many of the rich today, made social dinner occasions for display. They invited onjy those whose wealth would enable them to recompense them by Inviting them in return Jesus took npte of the selfishness thus displayed and set forth to them the right principle, namely, that they should extend their hospitality to the poor and afflicted. AU charitable deeds should be done with unselfish motives. JcßtiS itMnred. them that compensation would be made at the resurrection of the jusL This does not mean that friends and neighbors ot certain rank should never exchange pleasant hospitalities. Wealth should be used to confer blessings upon the poor and needy instead of ministering to the pride and vanity of the possessor.
