\ Creamed Comments on the Butp day 1 school lesson,; “The Christian’s Respect for Law,” Luke 1:1926;? I Peter 2:13-17, for Sunday, August 19. Jesus, having quelled the scribes and chief priests, by the parable of the husbandmen, was now confronted by spies sent to catch him by a shrewdly political question. His answer taught right relations to the government. V. 19. “And the chief priests, and scribes the same, hour sought to lay hands bn him; and they feared the people; for they perceived he had spoken t. this parable against them.” Thdea-’ i ferities perceived that by the husbandmen in the tarable preceding this lesson, they were condemned. Public sentiment for Christ forbade taking drastic measure against him, V. 20. “And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves! just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and the authority o; the government.” Espionage and technical traps are the devices of the type of criminals who dwell in earth’s high places, Public officials of this type are public en emy number one, because their position in institutions which stand for righteousness makes their hypocrisy most unsuspected. V. 21. "And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither aceptest thou the person of any, but teachest thou the way of God trnly.” By these, words of flattery they sought to put Christ off his guard and entice him to give an answer which -would, be sure to offend some taction of the people, end which they hoped would got him into trouble with the Roman authorities. V. 22. “Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar?” This clever question, if answered by yes or no, would surely get Christ into treble. If he should answer in the affirmative,: ! Jesus would alienate the Jews who were restive under a foreign yoke; and if he answered in the negative, he might land in jail or on the cross as a traitor to. the A I V. ,23. “But he perceived their craftiness and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?”. Jesus was fai too keen-sighted to be deceived

A , person sb bold decide once and for all whether or not he intends to be honest. Then the temptation ever’ to be dishonest or to tell a lie will have no effect Here is a prayer for one who . has decided al way* to be honest: “Lord,. I want to do the fight thing. If yoti will show me whst the right thing is, I promise you I will do! it, regardless of what it may coat me.” i \ Book Rbvlow 10,000 Biblical Illustrations, by Charles E.

by such hypocrisy. They wore pretending to be honest inquirers when they were not V,14. “Show mo a penny. Whose image or superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.” Jesus taught concretely and called for the common Roman coin which ho would use in answering their crafty question. On this coin was the image of the emperor. Now Jesus proceeds to ask them a question. There is no bettor way to answer a catch question than by asking a question that will divulge the truth. y. 26. “And he said unto them. Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things w'hich are God’s" Jesus taught that hia follower was a citizen of the Roman government and also a citizen of the kingdom of God. In paying tribute to Caesar in coin which bore his image, the people were merely giving back to him his own. Bv this answer, Christ approved of paying the tribute, yst his words could not be criticised. Hero the word was a two-edged sWord paying homage to the government, and better still, paying homage to God to whom they owed the temple offering, and more than that, their personal devotion and whatever service God might require. Our rulers are God’s servants so long as they rule justly and well. V. 26. “And they could not take bold of hia words before '< the people; and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.”; it was evident that Jesus’ answer was received by the people, and these critics marveled at his reason and went back with no repor*. Vs. IS, 14. “Submit yourselves to every ordinance Os man for the Lord’s sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme, or unto gove*nors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of them that do well.” Peter assumes the laws to be righteous; and, therefore,'keeping them' in according to the will of God. Law and order make for self-preservation and are the means of going about doing good. Vs. 15.161 “For so is the will o€ God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence j the Ignorance o' foolish men; asjfree and not usin'; your liberty fo4 a cloke of maliciousness, but aq the servants of God-” Freedom in never to be used as a pretext for pvil deeds. —Based on • copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council off* the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., Sand used by permission.

First, in man’s aboriginal state, each one feared his neighbor and recourse to murder was resorted to; then, when it was discovered that a neighbor was a friend there developed the fear or the clan, individuals fearing an enlarged society; later, when a clan was a big brotherhood there was a fear of other clans, and In time, there was an silarged vision of brotherhood and the state came into existence. In our own country there was considerable fear between states so that it was with difficulty that the constitution of the United States • was framed. For many years this country has stood for isolation, holding to the Monroe Doctrine, “entangling alliance with none.” Just now, fear is dominating all nations, but the progress of history in the brothei hood of man points to one world with peace and good will to all.
