THE MINISTRY OF JESUS P LESSON TEXT Mark 1:14, 15; Lukl 4:16-21; Mark 8:27a, 29, 31. GOLDEN TEXT I am come that they might have life and that they might have it mora abundantly. John 10:10. The dawn of a new day had come! iThe long-promised and expected Messiah came to break the 400 years of silence by His personal presence. j I We learn of His coming, His ,life and ministry, His death, and jresurrection, and find the promise of His coming again in the four ( Gospels. They are our complete lesson for this Sunday, but we obviously cannot review them in their entirpfv In nur limifpH snar-A. Our Scripture references speak oi j xiis ministry in presenting xne goua news of the gospel to needy mankind. f I. The Good - News Preached i.(Mark 1:14, 15). , Jesus always honored preaching as the primary and the effective means of spreading the good news cf the gospeL The forerunner, John the Baptist, had borne his witness. Jesus had come, had been baptized, and as John was cast into prison. He began to preach, "Repent ye and believe the gospeL" The key verse of Mark is 10:45: "For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." The characteristic words are "straightway," "forthwith," and . "immediately." The Greek word thus translated appears about forty times in the book. The Servant of God went quickly about the Father's business. Chris-, tians, can we say the same for ourselves? II. The Good News Practiced .(Luke 4:16-21). The daily ministry of Jesus as He lived here on earth is summarized in the prophecy of His coming which was given by Isaiah the prophet. As we read these words, wo realize that' we who profess to follow Him need to learn more of His spirit of tender and loving service to others. v ' It. Is Kicriflrant. and nl-mvonrinfi that Jesus' declaration of Himself as the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1, 2 was made in the synagogue on the caMiath day. He met with the people in the house and at the time se apart for God's worship. He opposed spiritual deadness, the misinterpretation of the truth, the distortion of religious principles; but He was not, as some would have us believe, a religious free iance who despised the established worship of His peopie. Having been prepared by the thirty years of privacy, and more particularly by the baptism and the temptation in the wilderness, He appeared at the synagogue in Nazareth to declare Himself as the fulfillment of prophecy.' Those who teach that Jesus was rnlv a vminff .Tauich toanbpi- txnth new philosophy of life have evidently not read the Scriptures. He knew Himself to be God's Son come into the world to bring the good news of salvation by His own blood to poor, sin-captive, blinded and bruised humanity. He is the Saviour! Look at Isaiah 61:1, 2 and note that Jesus stopped reading before thp end nf the sentence. "The dav . of vengeance of our God" will come I when Christ returns. This is the day of grace. Sinners are urged to ac cept God's love now, and thus to escape the terrible day of judgment which is to come. I 111. The Good News Prepared .(Mark 8:27a, 29. 31). Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom. He went about doing good, but always He knew Himself I to be the Christ, the One who was to die for the sins of the world and to arise again for the justification of those who put their trust in Him. ' Even those who deny to our Christ I the recognition of His deity, and the ' devotion of life which is His just due, must, if they are at aE intelligent, admit that no man ever, lived who has made such an impact on human history. Even now, un- j believing men speak of Him as the founder of Christianity, a mighty leader, a wonderful example, or an vjriequalled teacher. j . . lit is not enough that we stand with the mass of humanity who may thus admire Him, but who do not count Him as Saviour and Lord. The question comes to us as it did to the disciples, "Whom say ye that I am?" "Thou art the Christ" this alone suffices as the foundation for Christian testimony and conduct XlAUlUUgll UCaU9 WGB 41VI, JCI, ICaUJT to have His Messiahship proclaimed to the public, He was pre- ' pared to teach His disciples concern- ' ing not only that important truth, but of His rejection and death. ; Note the divine "must" (v. 31). While it is true that wicked men showed their hostility toward our God and His Christ by hanging Him on Calvary's cross, yet it was to die for our sins that He came into the world. The cross has rightly come to represent God's love to the world rather than man's hostility: to.

AT THE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES ' "God the Only Cause'and Creator' is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, June 10. The Golden Text is: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and , honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Revelation 4:11). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy" (Isaiah 65:10, 17, 18). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Love givcth to the least spiritual idt:a might, immortality, and goodness, which shine through all as the blossom shines through the bud. All the varied expressions of God reflect health, holiness, immortality infini'to LijV. Truth, and Love"-tb. 518) CATHOLIC CHURCH Mass, Sunday, June 10. Dugger 7:30. Sullivan 9:30.

A PRAYER Teach me, Father, how to go Softly as the grasses grow; Hush my soul to meet the shock Of the wild world as a rock; But my spirit, propped with power, Make as simple as a flower.

Teach me, Father, how to be Kind and patient as a tree. Joyfully the crickets. croon Under the shady oak at noon; Beetle, on his mission bent, Tarries on that cooling tent. Let me, also, :heer a spot, Hidden field or garden grot Place where passing souls can rest On the way and be their best.

The liberty bell is tolling. Tolling once again to proclaim independence to the world as did that memorable hell on the old church tower back in 1776. Our ancestors heard it toll in those days of the American Revolution as our independence was wrested from the British. . ' We urge you to listen Sunday morning to the toll of another bell which also hangs in n. church tower. Never to be acclaimed as a single national memorial, it lolls each Sabbath morning; calling you to worship. It backgrounds a simple cross that is a replica of the one that stood on Calvary some two thousand years ago. No memorial here . . . only a spirit. A will ta live forever to be-spiritually free. With a childlike faith the fire begins to kindle within us unt'l as, a fire consumes a building so the spiritual feeling encompasses' our souls and we are free.-Anil then we can say with Pawl without hesitancy or longing for the way left behind, "The things I entc hated I now love and the things I once loved 1 now hate." There is no battle lost when God is your commander.
