WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON - Suffering of Jesus Christ on the Cross PictuYed Here

The international uniform Sunday school lesson for March 8: The Sartor on the Cross: Christ Dying for Our Sins.—Luke 23:33-40. Byy WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of the Congregatlonallst We approach the most awful scene in all history: let us come to Calvary with reverence and prayer! How real Is it all to us? Is the story of Christ on the fcross a remote tale, far from life and actual daily experience? Or is it a vivid experience of human anguish that grips our souls? The mother of Jesus stood by the cross. What agony she passed through as she shared the tragedy of the last hours of her Son —Mary, who in the wondrous days of His babyhood had kept all the evidences of His coming glory, and had "pondered them In her heart’’! But the babe of destiny was dying on a cross, between two thieves. The mother’s heart at least can grasp that picture, as many a mother grasped it, and passed through her own Calvary during the days of the great war. Those who have suffered can understand Calvary. But we, of ordinary daily experience, strong, healthy, resourceful, confident, complacent, has Calvary touched our lives? Do we know its meaning? Have we ever been there? Let us come to Calvary! Symbolical of Pain Here is symbolized all of human pain. The whole life of mankind seems at times a crucifixion. “Man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward." And here are three souls In the agony of a terrible death —a death with a horror more awful because it has been inflicted by their fellowmcn. Two are suffering ,as one of them reminds his fellow, justly, and for their misdeeds. The other, like an Innumerable company since time began, is suffering in innocence. But all are suffering. Calvary is the place of human woe. Here is symbolized the mystery of life, or sorrow ami of death. Why do the wicked have power to be cruel, while the guiltless are tortured by their violence? The souls of men cry out for the meaning of it all. Calvary symbolizes divine fellr wshlp in human need. If Jesus had said to us merely, “not a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Father," we might well have doubted: but Jesus sealed his faith in the Father with his own death.

Here is the meaning of the innocent suffering with the guilty—it is the love of God reaching down Into human life, to share with men their sins i id sorrows and sufferings, and lift them up into a life of holiness and peace. Meaning of Calvary Those suffer for others sharers o. ti.e plans and purpose*; of God. Suffering has anew meaning In the fellowship of Christ's Cross. For Calvary Is the place of salvation. Here the seeming defeat of love and purity and truth was turned into the conquest of grace-. The Cross is not merely the symbol of sacrifice and suffering; it has become, through Christ, th*. symbol of conquest. The highest experience of one who has been to Calvary is expressed In the words of Paul, to whom Calvary

was very real: “I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not 1, but Christ llveth in me, and the life which I now' live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." “Who loved me and gave himself for me" —that is the meaning of Calvtiry; that is the power of salvation; tiat is the strongest force in the u ilverse; that is the law of the life f,i God. And Christ has done all this for us to teach us the way. When men learn to love one another and to give themselves for one another, what a veritable heaven this earth will be! But the way of salvation Is still through the Cross. Calvary symbolizes duty as well as hope. The call of Christ is still, “Whosoever will be my disciple, let him take up his cross and follow me."
