■ I Pilate tried five times to release 11 Jesus but his record for Justice liwas spoiled by weakening just I jonce. V, 13 "When Pilate therefore beard that eaying. he brought Jesus | [forth, and sat down in the judge nient seat In a place that is called the Pavement." Pilates fear of • Tiberius became great?” than his • fear of Christ When one weakens at the point of confessing Ch riel he goes from bad to worse. I V. 14. "And It was the prepare- ■ tiou of the passover and aliout the sixth hour; and he saith unto the Jews. Behold your King!” Here is a earcastic confession of Christ Pilate missed bis chance of sin c erely confessing Christ and his 'name today Is one of deilsioti. V 15 •'But they cried out. Away with him. crucify him Pilate saith unto them. Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered. We have no king but Caesar." The responsibility of pronouncing death was Pilate's So greaU was this responsibility that Pilate wavered. One does not waver when doing right if he i* fully surrendered to God V 16 "Then he deliveied he him therefore unto them to be crucified And they took Jesus and led him away " There i« no limit Ito wrongdoing when one turns I against the Lord V 35. "Now there stood by the ;<ioss of Jesus h!» mother, and his mother's sister. Mary the wife of Cleopa- and Mary Magdalene" See Christ s broken-hearted-mother! We do well to we-p with her. V 26 "When Jesus therefore -aw his mother, and the dWciple stand ing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother. Woman. liehold thy son" There Is no language that II MU <les< ibe the deep meaning of |this moment lienee just the phrase. i-Behold thy son!" V 27 Then saith he to the dis < iples. Behold thy mother! And from that hour that dirclpie took her unto his own home" Death meant an adjustment of the family life A follower of the Lord must learn many adjustments in home and human relatlonsiiips. Vs. 28.28.1 W. ' After thisi. Jesus knowing th'' all tht.igs wue now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith. 1 thi st Now there was set a vessel of vine gar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth When Jesus therefore had racelved the vinegar. he said, it is finished ' All God's purpose* committed to Christ had now been accomplished.

«« His Part A colored man wonderfully saved arose in a class meeting to testify to hi* newfound joy When be had finished the leader, a legalist. *ald "You told us what the laird has done for you. but you forgot to state what you did in order to lie saved. God does His part when we do ours " The colored man was on hi* feet ; in a moment. "I shore did do mj I part.'l took to runniii’ away from God as fast as m/ sins could carry me.” That was my part. And God took after me till he run me down. That was His pait." 0 Tlie message aad toacbinßs of Christ mean that tha races and Mt ions of the earth can live toi get her In poace only on term* of • good Will.
