know. Keeping your mouth shut may be one of the best things you ever do. Jesus himself knew how to keep a secret till time to tell it. He never uttered an untruth about himself, but for

a long time he did not openly declare his conviction, in spite of being pestered to say Yes or No about it. The question was: Are you the Messiah? This was the same as asking, Are you the King? Jesus would not say Yes, because the i mere word would be taken to mean "revolutionist” or "traitor.” But he would not say No, because he was a King; indeed of all men he had the best right to the title. • • • Royal Entrance BIT WHEN the time came, Jesus did declare himself king in a spectacular way. We know the story as the "Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem," the story of Palm Sunday, now so fresh in our minds. Jesus lived in a nation of people who were familiar with the meaning of symbols, both in word and action. When Jesus rode Into the ancient capital where his forefathers reigned, astride a mule colt, the people knew, and he knew they would know, that this was not just somebody riding a mule on a Sunday morning. In the history of the Hebrews, mules were the steeds of kings. King Solomon was crowned riding on a mule. There was a famous prophecy (Zech. 9:9) that when great king should come, he would be riding on just . such a royal steed. So when Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the people threw their palm branches and shouted their welcome, not to the teacher and prophet, but to the King. • • • Tears in Triumph JT WAS NOT altogether a vic--1 torioui occasion. Jesus knew too well how cheap and easy "demonstrations” can be. In his mind's eye he could see a cross standing outside Jerusalem, and in his inner ear he could hear this same dustythroated mob, now shouting "Hosanna!", yelling instead "Crucify him!" Tears stood in Jesus' eyes. But they were not tears for himself; he never wasted energy in self-pity. They were tears for that blind city, tears for its coming destruction — the city that did not know the way to peace. • • • Master of the Temple BOLDER THAN JESUS' triumphal entry was what he did inside the city. It was one thing to claim royal rights over the nation; but at the temple Jesus' claims reached far higher. It should be remembered that in the eyes of all Jews at that time the Temple was absolutely sacred. It represented the dwelling-place of the invisible God Now the priests at that time were more profiteers and politicians than priests. They carried on what today we call a "racket" in the sale of animals for sacrifice and in changing the ordinary money of all countries into the local Jewish shekel On which com alone could temple offerings be paidi The racket was notorious; every decent Jew hated the priestly profiteers. But no one had ever done anything about it, (or that would mean assuming an authority over the temple that no man dared to assume. But Jesus took it on himself. His direct and even violent action in smashing the racketeering ring was a mark of something more than ordinary self-confidence He laid claim to being no less than the Master of God s Temple. He was acting in the name of God and with the authority of God. • • • Master of Man WHEN THE CHRISTIAN church calls Jesus “Lord” and "King" today, we are making no claim for him which be did not make for himself What we mean by these titles is that Jesus Christ, for us and (or , all men. is the authority above all others 'Coatright ih» Internationa' Cour cU of Itenrisus Edu< aUoa oc ber-alf ol 10 Protnuci WNt
