It is we ' rvm over tne whOle'njvof Christ to ain a ge.icniT view of tb work of Christ during this period. Ii brings us to tl.'e close ot the Galilean ministry, which extended from Jan
uary. A. I). -S. to boptcmbcr, A. V. 29. Teaching aud wording miracles filled the time full. There was a great increase in the number of disciples. Thcrw were several sjK'cial new development in the founding of the kingdom, such a the Selection of the Twelve, the Bermoat un the Mount, and Teaching by Mean of Parables. To-day we come to another milestone of progress. Jesus begitis to unfold more clearly to Ills diaciples His true nature aa the Messiahlie must make atonement by His death. Thus only can He found the new kingdom and fulfill His mission as the Messiah. Lest this strange and incomprehensible view of the Messiah should stagger their faith, His true, transcendent nature was revealed in the transfiguration and proved by many miracles of grace and powct. IM In every great crisis of His work Jesus spent much time in prayer. And
now we find Him m prayer. A great burden was upon Him. His great Galilean ministry was nearly past; a few months hence Ills crucifixion would bring the culmination of His work; th
hostility ot the .Jews was growing stronger and more unscrupulous; Ilia own chosen disciples were still unprepared for the grcatresponsibilities that were to rest upon them. The htimnu nature of Jesus wanted close communion with His Heavenly Father. It was tinder these circumstance, apart in a retired place, He opened the' conversation with His disciples by nsking: "Whom say the people that I am?" The question seems to have been asked that Jesus might correct
the views of the disciples. But the responses elicited no satisfaction, and Ha asked another question: "But whom say ye tliat I am?" And Peter answering makes what is sometimes called the great confession: "The Christ of God." Jesus replie-s: "Klessed art thou," because thou hastopened thy heart to tbe truth, because thou hast such firm confidence in such a Saviour. This truth was revealed to hint by the Heavenly Father. Xo mere thought and argument could have done it. Then Jesus charged them to tell n mam Vcan imagine two good reasons for this. (1) If the apostles (not yet fully schooled in the doctrine of Christ's true nature and work) preached it now, they would lie certain to preach It wrong. (2) The people had a false conception of the Messiah asking. They were not yet ready for tills great teaching. Tumult and rebellion against the Koman government might result. Xow comes an unsuspected revelatioa concerning tho Messiah, with the distinct announcement of His coming rejection, crucifixion and resurrectioa. The statement that Jesus must die waa a great shock and disappointment ia the disciples; so much so that Peter (Matt. 16:22) openly rebuked hl Maater for saying it. The fact of His death so astonished them and absorbed their attention that they passed over, almost without notice, the prophecy of Ilia resurrection, which they could not understand. The picture of tho Messiah In the prophets, as a great and glorioaa king, could be realized only by mcana of the suffering and death of the Measlah, which seemed to the disciplea ta
destroy the picture. The transfiguration which folowed soon after this revealed to the disciples
the divine and glorious nature of Jesus, the reverse aide of the picture of the suffering Messiah. In verse 23 Jcstw applies to His disciples the principles on which lie must Himself carry out the work of the Messiah as He hail just revealed them. Th
way to the crown is through the cross.
