Improved II SUNDAY International I SCHOOL -• LESSON By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D, D. Os Thf Mvody Bible Institute of CtncsMO. Relea«*d by Western Newipuper Union. Lesson for March 25 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by Interabtlonpl Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE LAST WEEK LESSON TEXT-Matthew 21:8 16 GOLDKN TEXT—Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hoeannafln the highest.—Matthew 21:9. The official presentation ot Hintself to the Jewish people as their King, their rejection of Him and, what was even more solemnly meaningful. His rejection of the Hebrew nation because of their unbeliefsuch are the stirring events which face us as we go with our Lord into the last week of His earthly ministry. Ihe first event in that sequence is the one we study in our lesson for today, namely, the coming of the King to Jerusalem. 1$ Preparation and Presentation (vv.' 6,7). The King comes, but even in His hot® of royal triumph He gives to His,followers the unexplainable but inestimable joy of meeting His need. Ig “The Disciples Did As Jesus Appointed" (v. 6). He had need of disciples who would do His bidding without question or hesitation. How prdfcious is such obedience! Let us also go and do what He commands He needed the colt and the ass Hc*v simple and lowly was that need, and yet how glorious that man was ready to meet it! God's plans are worked out in the JiHJe things as well as the great Pritohecy was being fulfilled here (see v. 5) by a little thing. Is God waiting to carry out some great purpose through some little thing which yotrare withholding from Him? Why hinder Him any longer? I “And He Sat Thereon" (v. 7). ugh He did not come with the pomp and trappings of an earthly potentate, the King of Glory came to*His people to offer them for the last time the opportunity to receive Him. He asks you to yield your life to His kingship. What will your answer be? 11. Acceptance and Rejection (vv 8-11, 15. 16). 1. “The Multitude . . . Cried . . . Hosanna” (vv. 8-11). The fact that before the week was over some of the same voices cried, “Crucify him!" should not obscure the fact that there were childlike believers (v| 16) who really had faith in Christ. There is something inspiring about thit picture of enthusiasm and devotion. Real faith in Christ ought to'result in a fervor of spirit which will stir our hearts and our cities. Are we not altogether too dead and formal in much of our worship today? Do we not need more holy enthusiasm for Christ and for His Church? 2. “The Chief Priests and Scribes . . . Were Sore Displeased” (vv. 15. 16). Small wonder, for not only had the children put them to open shame by recognizing the Christ whom they had ignored, but He had also ruined their polite religious "racket” which produced for them such a lovely profit. JI ark this—when anyone is diswith Jesus or with His chitdr in or with His work on earth, you ca i be sure that there is a reason, an 1 not a holy, upright or good reaso i either! 11. Judgment and Compassion (vv. 12-14). What a remarkable picture! In the midst of flaming judgment and destruction we find His loving compassion upon the blind and the lame. Folk who think that Christ has no message but love need to look on Him as He cleanses the temple. On the other hand, those who think that He has no Vord but judgment need to behold Him as He stands in the midst of the overturned tables and debris and heals the needy. 1. "Jesus Cast Out . . . and Overthrew” (vv. 12, 13). He knew where to begin to cleanse the city. He Started in the temple. Absolutely fight Is the man who suggested that the place to start to clean up a city Is not ih the slums but in th» churches. You will not be ready to clean out the tavern or that other low place where the gang hangs out in your town untti you have cleaned out the church if sin is being harbored there. The same is true of the individual. A regenerated heart will bring a reformed life, not vice versa You can live only after you have been born. 2. "He Healed Them” (v. 14). The very -hands which had just overthrown (he tables and cast out the money-changers now gently touched the lame and the blind with hewing The eyes which had blazed with noly indignation now shone with love and compassion. The scene of judgment and Chaos became the house of prayer and of answered prayer On the very spot where one man had received condemnation, another received heiling. Each one received that which He sought by his own attitude and action. will you. my dear reader: u.eat ■ Jews—as your Judge or as your Saviour* ‘You must “ndake the choice.

But their two most prized possessions are an old beer mug and an 1890 Floradora hat. When they were first Dee allows he couldn't stand the hat; while Jane turned her nose up (privately) at Dee's fondness for a friendly glass of beer from time to time. But each figured it was the other's right... so they lived and let live. And as time went by, they
