Some of these were mere I political hacks, but many of them belonged to the old arjstocracy, ’ with pedigrees running back for . centuries. They were no better than mediocre teachers themselves, but they didn’t like any one else moving in to their jr preserves. ■ gl, So when Jesus , came to Jerusa- J a lem, the big city, i , from up-country, [,J| «... I and began to I teach in the very H i shadow of the J great Temple, the Foreman ’ authorities were aroused. He could . teach in Galilee all he liked and they wouldn't interfere —much. But i let him come to the priests’ capi ital city, where they were the ruling class, and they were determined . he should line up as they told him — I or else . . . What that “or else” . was we know too well. But first . they tried to get him into trouble , with his public. For Jesus had what actors and writers call a “public,’’ people who heard him every chance they had. Shew Tear Llmbm! The first move the priests tried was the same kind of thing a police officer does to any shady salesman or careless driver. Show us your license! they said, in effect. If Jesus, said, God gave me the right to teach, the priests would surely retort, What conceit! How could God authorize you except through ns, God’s representatives among his people? Or if Jesus said that some man. any man, gave him the right to teach, the priests would lose no time in telling him that they were the offeial Teacher's License Bureau and ha/l never given him permission to speak. Either way, they figured, he would lose face with his public. Jesus' answer stunned them. It meant: You tell me about John the Baptist and I will tell you about me. This was not off the subject, as we might think. Expressed more I fully, what Jesus meant was: "Very | well, suppose I received my autbority from John the Baptist, as some of you may think? Where did he get his authority? Fre« Pe|Mlar CosmoI? There used to be a man who had no degree but his college A.B. The members of his church called him “Doctor" all the same. He used to say that his degree had been conferred by vote of the people. More important matters than tities can be conferred, in our country, by vote of the people. The authority of a president or governor comes from the people themselves. There is nothing essentially wrong about authority that comes from men at large. Indeed, unless the people consent, no man can wield authority. In one sense Jesus’ authority came from the heart of the people. The common people heard him gladly, we are told. "This is our man and we love him. This is our man; he knows!" Unless a leader has something like that effect on people, he is a leader in name only. From Fsnsoal Forse? But of course popular consent, popular enthusiasm, can be quite wrong. Look at Hitler in the height of his power. Every Nazi, millions of them, went screaming for him. He was Germany's “new Messiah ” But that did not make him right He was horribly wrong, in fact for all the cheering. There is another kind of authority, which comes from within. The man who has it does not need to appeal to any one else, he does not need to produce a license, he needs no sponsors. Now Jesus had that kind of authority and every one of his friends and admirers felt it. We read that after his “sermon on the mount" the people were astonished because he taught as one having authority, and not as Hw scribes. We know how the Scribes taught. They quoted authorities. Jesus had it. * Fiw 8W? Highest and truest authority is that which comes from God. According to the fourth Gospel, Jesus denied saying anything strictly on his own account. Ho spoke God’s words, his teaching were God’s teaching. “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me,” ho said (John 7:16). Now every Christian in the world admits this. We all claim to believe that Christ’s authority is divine. Bat do «• sat MV wa beNT

ves at last engulfed in the darkness of trouble. What shall we do in the day of trouble? When we were children, mother to light the lamp when the black clouds had turned day into night. The light within took some of the fear and terror from our childish hearts. If the lamps of our soul are burning and shining brightly, we can maintain our serenity and courage in the midst of the most I terrific lifestorms. The lamp of faith will reveal the face of the confident and fearless Pitot. The lamp, of vision will reveal a loving heavenly Father keeping watch over His own. Courageous hearts can weather any storm, and courage is born of faith. Increase your faith in God by being in the church of your choice next Sunday and every Sunday.
