THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VII, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, MAY 14. Text of the LeaHon, John xvll, 1S-20. Memory Veraea, 20, 21—Golden Text, John xvll, O—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearna. [Copyright, 1006, by American Preu Association.] The topic of this lesson, “Jesus pjrayiug for His follvwers,” suggests the blessed assurance that He who is now In the presence of God for us ever innketh intercession for us (Heb. ix, 24; Horn, viii, 34). If there is comfort in being prayed for by friends on earth, how much greater the comfort of being ever cured for and prayed for by one who can and does truly sympathize .\nd has nil power in heaven and on earth! Let-us appropriate the fact and the joy will surely be ours. His joy will abide in us, and our joy will be full (xi. lit. A careful perusal of this discourse and prayer cannot but impress us with the use of the name “Father” at least fifty times in the four chapters. I have counted fifty-one times, and, omitting the once by Philip and once by the disciples (xiv, 8; xvi. 17t, we find our Lord using the endearing name forty-nine times (7x7), the perfect use of the name. In the sermon on the mount (Matt, v, viii He said your Father or Thy Father fifteen times ami once said “our Father” and “My Father.” In the other chapters of John’s gospel our Lord uses the name sixty-four times. As His comfort was ever iu His Father who sent Him and whom He lived to please. He would have us enjoy the same comfort, saying to us as to Mary, “My Father and your Father,” and again. “As the Living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me even he shall live by Me” (xx. 17; vi, Tm). It seems to me that some of our Lord’s most weighty words to His Father in this prayer are, “I have glorified Thee on the earth.” “I have manifested Thy name.” “I have declared Thy name” (verses 4. 0. 20), and this lie desires to do through us also, for in verse IS He says. "As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” See also chapter xx. 21. He emphasizes the great truth that His disciples are given to Him by the Father (verses 2. 6, 9, 11. 12. 24), repeating it seven times in these six verses; also that all things are given to Him by the Father, power, glory, the words He spoke (verses 2. 22. 24. 8) and all else. He had said to them In His discourse that the world would hate them for His sake (xv. IS. 21), and now in His prayer lie reminds His Father of this and asks that He would therefore keep them from the evil or the evil one by His great power (verses 11, 14. 15), In connection with this keeping see Isa. xxvii, 3; verse exxi. That as His redeemed ones we are “not of the world” reminds us of Ps. iv, 3; Tit. 11. 14. It. V.; Uom. x!i, 1, 2; Phil. iii. 20. And yet it is sadly true that very many of those who bear the name of Christ neither appear nor act much like strangers and pilgrims here, hut seem very much at home In this present evil world which lieth in the wicked one (Gal. I, 4; 1 John v, 19, R. V.t. The separation from the world can be wrought only by the truth, His word, which enlightens us concerning our relationship to Christ and to the world, and the real character of the world and of its ruler, the God of this world (II Cor. IV, 4). People insist upon using their eyes instead of the word of God to learn the condition of things, and they say, “Seeing is believing,” but the Christian’s motto should be. “Believing Is seeing,” remembering our Lord’s words, “Blessed are they that have not seen, yet have believed” (xx, 29). As the Lord Jesus revealed the Father, so we are to reveal Christ, making manifest the life of Christ Jesus in these mortal bodies (II Cor. Iv, 11). He therefore prays that as He and the Father are one, so we, His redeemed, may be one with them that the world may believe and know that Jesus was truly sent by the Father to be the Saviour of sinners, Israel’s Messiah and the great head of the church. Since the world can believe and know’ (verses 21, 23) only through the Lord’s redeemed, how essential it is that the redeemed should be wholly separated unto God (Pb. Iv, 3) that He may live His life and w’ork His works in ns to His glory! To this end our Lord would have us know* and rejoice in the glory which the Father has given Him (verses 22, 24) that so we may be sustained In trial and he overcomers iu the conflict with the w’orld. the flesh and the devil, even ns He Himself was sustained by the Joy set before Him, Abraham by looking for the city, and Moses by considering the recompense of the reward (Heb. xii, 2; xi, 9, 10. 26, 27). Hence such admonitions as 1 Thess. ii, 12. “Walk w’orthy of God who hath called you into His kingdom and glory.” Let such precious words as the following take hold of our hearts and we shall be greatly helped thereby: “We shall be like Him,” “The body of our humiliation fashioned like unto His glorious body,” “We shall reign with Him on the earth” (I John iii. 2; Phil. Hi, 20. 21; Rev. v, 9, 10). Believe most surely these things and thus know the certainty of them (Luke 1, 1, 4). Note His sad complaint in verse 25, “O Righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee,” and compare Jer. lx, 23, 24; Isa. 1, 3; Hos. vi, 0; Mic. Iv, 12. Then let Paul’s desire Le heartily ours, “that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, be lug made conformably unto His death” (Phil. Hi, 10). Professor Walter A. Wyckoff, who attracted attention years ago by his experience as a tramp laborer, thinks that the problems of labor will not be solved until labor organizations are Incorporated, so as to give a sense of legal responsibility. Instead of the appendix being superfluous, as has been declared by high authorities, it is found by demonstration of the army medical corps that in certain diseases the organ may be used as a canal for applying medIWues to the affected parts.
