John 3:14-11. , I Who Is This? ' I Lesson for March 3, 1957 WE ALL like to know what people think of us, but sometimes all we really want is compliments. or else we ask out of idle curiosity. Jesus asked tfie sarpe question most people ask some time or other: Who do men say I amt But it was not curiosity or pride, with him. Hg knew better than any one that ||HfiS?9Bß| whatmen thought rypjpp* w|b of him was vital —not to him, but to them. What ‘ißPjf yyjwW■ people think of Christ affects *, If*. IB their whole lives. he no more jjflH^gpl^B esque figure out of the past? Then Dr - Fbremaa we can safely ignore him. Is he a wise teacher, no more? Then we J can put his teachings together with .those of other great teachers and add a few nuggets of ideas from him to the wealth of the ages. But suppose he is more—? They Thought They Hal Soon Him Nobody in Jesus’ lifetime thought of him as a priest. The priests were professional religionists; but Jesus did not make that sort of impression. He reminded people of no priest,—rather of prophets. Many spoke of him by the name of well known prophets—John the Baptizer, Elijah, Jeremiah. Os course they did not literally think these men had risen from the dead; but it was almost as if they had. Incidentally, the modem reader might look up the three prophets whom Jesus was thought to resemble. They were anything but gentle, meek and piild. At all* events, they were men whose authority did not come to them from a position, an institution. They were men whose power and authority came from within; men carrying their commission* direct' 1 from Godj: • Tba Ont Lari • One might think that no higher # category could be found for Jesu* than Prophet,—one sent by God. ’ /-•- *• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •••••» speaking the word of God. But Jesus once called himself “more than a prophet.". So it was his closest friends thought of him. Peter’* “Great Confession” is well known. Speaking not for himself but for all—sor 1 the question was put to the group. Simon Peter said (as Matthew reports it) ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” The words should not lose their force because of familiarity. Peter does not use the language later theologians were to devise. He does use words which a Jewish man of the first century could use —but they were not words Peter could have applied to any one else. Christ means Messiah, King, God's special chosen King, to usher In the World’s New Age. No Jew looked for two Messiahs. Peter was saying to Christ: There havd been many prophets; but there will never be more Christs than one. You stand alone, with noneij to match you. none beside you. For Messiah was not only a unique title, there was nothing above it Furthermore, the word Christ implied a great deal more than Prophet. You could take a prophet or leave him,—his messages might not be for you at ajU. But the Christ was to be every man's Master, Lord of Israel. Lord of the world. Before a prophet a man may keep the silence of respect. In the presence of the one Lord a man must bow in reverence, asking, What wilt thou have me to do? Eyas of Faith What did Jesus mean whe/i he said to Peter, “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but. my Father who is in heaven”? He meant that Peter and the rest of the Twelve (not Judas!) could see with eyes of faith what the Pharisees and priests never saw. It is always possible to doubt the full meaning of Jesus Christ In his life time there were a great many who listened to his teaching and watched his miracles and never believed in him at aIL Belief in Christ is never forced. It is not like believing that two and two are four, or that the paper you are reading is printed in black ink. The deity and lordship of Christ can never be demonstrated like a proposition in logic or a theorem in geometry. Our’ relation to him must be personal. 'AH personal relations are carried on by faith, not mathematical demonstration. A man and his wife, a father and his son, even a merchant and his customer, live with each other end trust each other by faith. The eye of love, the eye of loving faith, sees what mere sunlight never shows.

Do Others See Jesus fn . You? Rev. J. R. Meadows After Leonardo da Vinci had finished his great picture of the "Last Supper,” he called his truest friend to see it before it was publicly exhibited. As that friend stood before the picture, his first exclamation was, “Oh, what a wonderful goblet in the hands of Christ!’’ With one stroke of the brush Leonardo da Vinci blotted out the goblet from the picture. “I would have you see nothing,” he said, "except the face of the Christ.” As disciples of Jesus, we too, are painting pictures of Him. The world is to see in our faces His face. But if we are to succeed in so glorious a purpose, we must relentlessly blot out from our lives whatever keeps Jesus from having DECATUR HATCHERY Decatur Chicks & DeKalb Chicks and Kelvinator Appliances ~""BK ZEIW F HEATING - SERVICES Shellane Gas Service Apex and Whirlpool Automatic Washers Admiral Appliances and T.V.
