| Comments on [I Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, What we know about Jesus; Hfe Nature, John 6:35-

. i 40; Colossians 1:9-20, for Sunday, j February 8. [■ The source of our strength is Jesus our Savior who claimed to be the Bread of life. The secret of our service is Jesus our soverign whom Paul declared to be the image of the invisible God. Therefore, our life from Christ should be wholly given in loyality to him. • V. 35. “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger and he that believ.eth on me shall never thrist.” As bread is the stuff of life, so Christ is the source of our spiritual strength. Soul satisfaction is found only in right relation to God through Christ. V. 36. "But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.” There is a superficial know8 ledge of Christ that fails to have any moral or spiritual value; not , having any serious convictions a- | bout Christ as the Saviour of the world makes impossible faith in him. V. 37. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in nowise 1 cast out.” All those who become Christians may be said to be given to Jesus the reward for his suffering, for his death was the • price by which they were redeem- . ed. No man is compelled to go to heaven against his will, and no man is compelled to go to hell against his will. When coming to Christ by faith through repentance he is not cast out therefore he is received as God’s child. V. 38. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, - but the will of him that sent me.” I As Jesus came to earth to do the father’s will, he will be faithful to that trust. To Jesus God’s will was first and to a fully surrendered soul, 1 God’s will is first also. 1 V. 39. “And this is the Father’s ■ will which hath sent, me, that of all which he hath given me I

should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.s’ The following verse voices ths same thought, namely, that the divine nature of Christ imparted to the souls of man works in them a spiritual life, higher, richer and everlasting which goes on end on after the body ceakes to livp. The only thing that counts in Christ and everlasting life. V. 9. “For this cause, we also, since the day We heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled wit-h the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” The Colossians had become somewhat superstitious, hence the prayer for them that they may have the knowledge of God and spiritual insight. A true Christian disciple is a good learner. V.lO. “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” The ideal Christian is one whose life is worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, and thus give Christ entire satisfaction. Christ longs to pronounce the “well done" on his children. V.U. “Strengthened with all might.” It is spiritual strength bestowed by God of which Paul speaks some of the fruits of which are patience and long suffering. V. 12. “Giving thanks to the Father.” A child of God does not go far astray if he keeps being thankful to God. V. 13. “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Christ makes the difference between darkness and light; his work is that of translating souls so they shall speak the language of God’s kingdom. The teaching og Christ are translated in the lives of his follewers. V. 14. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of ein.” Only through Christ are our sins forgiven; Ire can do it because he is God’s son. V. 20. “And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself.” To be reconciled in the sense of being actually at peace with him depends upon our personal acceptance of him and his atoning work.

PRAYING? One of the barriens to praying is impatience and lack of answer. Men should pray, Jesus says, with the obduracy of a man knocking on his neighbor's door at midnight, or with the importunity of a widow before an unjust judge. Endurance in prayer intensifies desire and by selfscrutiny it purifies desire. Since prayer is a frienrship with God. it must be cultivated, for prayer is not an occasional greeting to God, Insincerity in daily life is another handicap in prayer life. Too many pray one way and live another way; hence real prayer calls for a discipline of life that demands a price that is often not willingly paid, so that as a consequence the prayer habit is given up. It is the sin within that must be confessed and cleansed with a continual watching that the fountain of life be kept pure. Otherwise prayer has little meaning. The senee of unreality in prayer and the dominance of moods is another barrier to prayer. To some, prayer is like an echoing void; doubt makes praying futile; it takes the ventui-e of faith to engage in prayer. A distrustful mood dispels faith in God. If the present hour is not so joyous as some in the past, seize moments when God has been experienced and let them have the right of way till victorious faith arises and claims its ; rightful place.
