I, l" ' 11 "" ' ■ ■ 1 ■ I I Creamed nJ > I CommentsJ&j , fri- on s.s,»«rg| t Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Jesus Sen- * tenced to Death, John 19:1-16, for 5 Sunday, June 5. 3 In this lesson we have a public . demonstration of the spirit of hatred in which the world receives I Christ, and we should see the extreme sinfulness of the natural man. V.l. “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him.” Pilate sought to get a confession out of Christ by means of scouraging. Wicked rulers still resort to such means. I V. 2. “And the soldiers platted . a crown of thorns, and put it on * his head, and they put on him ’ a purple robe,” Soldiers often I take delight in torturing prisoners; they would mock Christ by a crown of thorns and a purple robe. The crown of thorns pressed down on Jesus' head produced agtonizing*, pain whicjt delighted the soldiers. Mark that Jesus never uttered a word but bore the pain bravely. V. 3. "And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with l their hands.” The soldiers con- . tinued to mock Jesus by ironical- . ly calling him King of the Jews; added to this was the insult of , slapping Jesus. If Jesus had been only human, he would have slapped back. Character is measured by the ability to take slaps -without returning similar blows. V. 4. “Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold J bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.” Pilate had received some light as to whom Jesus was, and he wanted to be excused from accusI ing him. Pilate lost his chance of j confessing Christ by using what light he had. V. 5. "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!” This was either an appeal to their pity (surely you would not crucify such an one), or to their scorn (surely you would not fear what such an one could do). Both thoughts may be included. V. 6. "When the chief priests and 1 officers saw him, they cried out, i saying, Crucify him, crucify him. i Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him and crucify him; for I find no

i i The kind of life we live depends , on the kind of choices we make between the spiritual and the material. After that choice is made, the direction of life is fixed. Events . deepen the decision, so there is ’ experienced griefs and joys, disap- ( s polntments and victories, as every , life must have. For that choice makes character and character makes happiness. LESSON PRAYER: Lesson prayer: We adore the Christ who when he was persecuted and unjustly dealt with was silent, who when ander trial never answered false accusations, whoj ] when mocked and was treated as a crimiaal bore it all bravely and let truth be his defense Grant f to give us grace and strength to be a good follower of such a Lord, whose we are and whom we serve.

fault in him.” This is the third time Pilate' had found Jesus innocent. V.7. “The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” Pilate demanded that they take full responsibility. It is a mark of weakness to shift responsibility. V.B. “When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid.” Pjlate's sense of gulit is afraid." Pilate’s sense of guilt is him. V. 9. “And went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, Whence art thou? Rut Jesus gave him no answer.” It Pilate really wanted to know the fact that Jesus was supernatural, he could have looked up his record. V. 19. "Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee?” Pilate now asserts his prerogative as it to ask homage. But he was just a Roman puppet ruler. V.ll. “Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above; therefore, he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” Caiaphas, the high priest, who delivered Jesus to Pilate had a greater opportunity to know him; therefore, his was the greater sin. men will be judged by the light of the gospel truth they possess. Vll2. "And from thenceforth. Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend; whosoever maketh himself king speaketh against Caesar.” Here was a political move, a strategy of prestige on Pilate's part. Any thing to get results is dirty politics. V. 13. “And when Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place which is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.” Pilate reconsidered Jesus’ case in the light of this new charge -a vacillating ruler. V. 14. "And it was the prepara- . tion of the passover, and about the sixth hour; and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!” Pilate becomes sarcastic. V. 15. "But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, we have no king but Caesar.’” Here is their sham loyalty. i

Clericus Says: Clericus says: “‘Behold, the man! ’ said Pilate. Yea, behold him, and what do we see? First of all, we see a hero, the bravest one that ever lived. Then, we see a wise perceiver of the nature of lite, both divine and human, the man who in his atoning death revealed to men the principle of sacrifice and by the greatness of his own sacrifice made himself available for the world’s salvation.” It is the ambition of Dr. Frank , C. Laubach to teach the billion iliterate persons in the world to read. He simplifies a language so that an adult of ordinary intelligence, who can already speak the language, will be able to read and write in a very few lessons. His I method has been used in scores of countries all over the world. Christians < are being asked to help teach, since it is an excellent opportunity to witness for Christ while teaching to read.

But through all the hardships, the thirst for knowledge was the fiercest hunger of all. When he landed in America he knew nothing but Yiddish, but eight years later he received his Sc.B. from the College of the City of New York, and after six more years his PhD. from Harvard. Thurman Arnold says he is one of the finest philosophical minds in America. YEARS of EXPERIENCE QUALIFY Our Office As An Under writer of Insurance Old Line Cempaniee Prompt Settiemeet of Claim* A. D.
