I Less* 8 * Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, The Crucifixion, Matthew 27:32-44,54, for Sunday, 1 March 29. ■ Th© crucifixion Christ is dis-; ficult to explain; it is best under-; stood by an experience that consists of remorsd and repentance of sins, God's forgiveness andi adoption into the family of God J In the words of Paul is expressed, “I know -whom I have believed.” The comments in this lesson are only, an intellectual assent to a great supernatural fact, mysterious dynamic, and redemp|ije. V. 32. ‘“And as they came out. they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by him they compelled to bear the cross.” Here was bestowed an uaeonscious honor. What a Joy must have come to Simon later when he knew that he had helped the Lord- For this punpose #0 are living, to help the Lord to save the world." V. 33. “And when they were come to a place called Galgotha, that is to say the place of a skull," This was the way and place of condemned criminal©—Jesus wap compelled to walk in the way of the most degraded. | V. 34. "They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.” Jesus Would not be stupifled by a drink that would allay pain. He chose to suffer to the limit. V. 35. *An.d they crucified him, add parted his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which wps spoken by the prophet. They parted my garment# among them. aad upon my vestures did they cast lots.” How heavy the word "Cfucifixion” weighs on our hearts, for here is centered indescribable pain, unparalled iniusinconceivable indignities, the greatest curse of man; button the divine aide, there was unbounded mercy, unfathomable love, universal pardon, the fulfillment of the law, eternal life to i all will believe. Here was the meeting place of the huflaan apd the divine by Which the level of mankind could .—-M —-F j

GOD WANTS YOU TO dE HOLY. “Ye shall be holy; for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.” (Lev. 19,2.) ■ GOD HATES AND PUNISHES SIN. "The wages of sin is, death* (Rom. 6,23.) GOD LOVES THE SINNER. "God so ; loved the world that He gave Hls only begotten Son.” x (John 3,16.) JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SON OF GQD. SUFFERED AND DIED FOR THE SINNER.

This is Jesus, the King of the ; Jews. Jesus’ enemies did not know ; that he was triily a king. Some day "■ all will have to confess Jesus as King; but such confession has\n o merit to those who have not bob' ored~him. 'f V. 38, "And there wsre two thiev- ' es crucified with hinaj, one the ' right hand and another on the y left.” In d e *th Jesus’ enemies 1 would have him keep company j with the condemned, not knowing ; he was high above them. V. 39. “And that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads.” Tongue lashers are in the class with murderer?. There may be sin in the shake of the head. \ V. 40. "And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou ibe the son of God, come down from the cross.” Jesus’ claim was not cancelled by this accusation. • His power in rising from the dead ;was as great or greater a miracle than his coming down from the cross. I V.4l.,“Likewise tfye chief priests jnocking him with the scribes and Welders,” llnexplainably strange .that the religious leaders should be "Jesus’ accusers. Regardless of men of Influence, each one must Ihink for himself and make his town decision as did one of the : thieves on the cross. .F V. 42. “He saved others, himself ke can not save.” Little did they know that if Jesus saved himself he could not have saved the world. Jesus was perfectly unselfish; he gave himself, his all for others. ! V. 43. “Hie trusted jin God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him; for he 4aid, 1 am the Son of God.” God can not be commanded by men; his will is supreme. V. 44. “The thieves also which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.” Nevertheless, one accepted Christ. God in his mercy accepts saving faith in the ,last moment.

It is safely estimated that it costs 61,000 to kill one enemy in the Korean war.
