H. -; THE LAW IN JESUS' DAT LESSON TEXT : Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Matthew 5:17-19; Mark 10:17-22. MEMORY SF.LECTION Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or .the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17. Jesus vnrist is me oenever s una authority. He is both our Saviour and our Lord. He is our teacher, j T -- i - . 1 1 . . 1 I C 1 our guide, our pattern in all things. It is therefore of the highest importance that we know his attitude toward the Old Testament laws, and that is just what we are to consider in the lessons of the next three months under the general title, "Jesus Interprets Old Testament Laws." Our introductory lesson tells us of the origin, interpretation and application of -the law, then we go in later lessons to consider the Ten Commandments in the light of the teachings of Jesus. It is appropriate to point out that, far from being outmoded, the Ten Commandments are really the basis of all moral law. They need a diligent restudy and re-emphasis in our day of disregard of moral standards. i. The LawGiven by God (Deut. 6:4-9). Our God is the one true God who is to 'have the complete and constant devotion of all. The fact that so many men have ignored him explains the awful depth to which the world has fallen. This one and only true God has given through his servant, Moses, the fundamental moral law for the government of man, ' and' he is to give diligent attention to it at all I times, ! Religion In the household (v. 7)! should include the teaching, of the Word, and the easy natural discus-, sion of spiritual things in all the, varying circumstances of home life. Elessed are the parents who make it easy for children to talk about the things of God as naturally and unaffectedly as they discuss the oth-' er phases ' of life which interest' . them. ' The law of God should go with his people into their daily occupations (v. 8), not in any formal or stated way but as the normal expression, of.hejrlovft tok him. It should be evident to all who enter the home that the Lord Is loved and '- honored (v. 9). ' n. The Law Fulfilled by Jesus ... '(Matt. 5:17-19). : The law of God is eternal, never to be abrogated, never set aside, i Christ himself, although we might properly sajr that he was in reality the lawgiver and thus had" power r and authority over the law, indicat- . ed his purpose in coming to be that - of giving the law its full meaning, not of destroying it, One could wish that those who profess to be his servants might have the same measure of regard for God's law. If they did, they obviously would not be so ready to ignore it, so quick to change it or explain it away, and far more 'ready to accept with their Master every "jot and tittle"; that is, even the minutest detail of his Word. It is a mark of greatness "to do and teach." the law of God (v. 19), and of pathetic smallness to break his commandments and to teach others to disobey God. Some of the : supposed great men of this world i are mighty small when they are measured by God's yardstick. The one who recognizes Christ es the fulfillment of the law will go on in consistent living. In his strength I and by his grace we are to obey every moral precept. III. The Law Applied to Man (Mark 10:17-22). : The moral law, which is God's law, is good and ia its keeping man , finds guidance for his life. Apart from Christ, however, he finds him-, . self unable, to keep the law. j The gospel of the grace of God' in Christ Jesus takes us a step beyond the law, and it is a great step for here we meet and follow the1 one who is greater than' the law, ' the giver cf eternal life. I Obedience to the commandments, brings man up to the very entrance upon that life, but to enter in he must have more than the1 .."things"' of the law; he must have.' the person who is "the door" to eternal life. ; The young man . who came to. Christ was rich. His mind was obsessed with tilings. He had made it his business to observe the law, and had done, well (v. 20), but his soul was not satisfied. He thought one more "tiling" that he could do would accomplish his purpose. ' The general attitude of the man; was commendable. He sensed his; lack of the vital somethtpg which' would remake his life. He came to; the right one the Lord Jesus with1 Tiis question. - ' i ' His failure to go beyond the. things,' of the law' to a 'faith' in '.Christ!' however, showed that, he loved his possessions more than he desired

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE i SERVICES 1 "God." is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. on Sunday, July 7. The Golden Text is: "The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). Among the citations which com- . prise the Lesson-Sermon is the ' following from the Bible: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all , know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord" (Jeremiah 31:31, 34). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "History teaches that the popular and false notions about the Divine Being and character have originated in the human mind. As there i?i in reality but one God, one Mind, wrong notions about God must have originated in a false supposition, not in immortal Truth, and they are fading out" (p. 3B7). ST.
