lessox as a whole approach to the lesson from the place of transfigura tion our lord and his disciples returned to capernaum and remained there until the feast o tabernacles harvest festival when they went up to jerusalem john 7210 then followed a period oi ministry in judea and perea completely omitted by matthew and mark but given partly by john arid partly by luke john 711 to 1154 luke 101 to 17 10 this would seem to have occupied about six and a half months after which they made another circuit north through samaria and galilee and south through perea on the final jour ney to jerusalem luke 17 11 here mark takes up the story chap 101 as we read this part of the gospel record we cannot but notice how often our lord referred to his approaching death bengel remarks about this period already jesus had begun to live in his passion in marks brief account see 931 and 103231 it was on tbft journey as they were approaching jericho on the way to jerusalem that the incident in our lesson portion took place we definitely must not neg lect verses 33 and 34 for it is in the light of this unveiling of the heart of jesus as he hastened to his passion that the conduct of the apostles appears so poignantly tragic but let us approach the lesson not as critics of the apostles but with our own hearts open to the searchings of the spirit of god verse by verse mark 1032 going up to jerusalem amazed afraid jesus was walking ahead in the solitude of his great sorrow the disciples followed stunned by the deepening mystery of jesus teach ing and perhaps by a solemn majesty in his appearance the crowd vagueiy sensing mystery and tragedy came on behind gripped by an eerie fear see this order in the asv and he took again the twelve the division be tween them and the crowd was welcome verse 33 behold we go up to jerusalem not to triumph and acclamation but to double be trayal first unto the chief priests and then to the gen tiles again he refers to himself as the son of man indicating among other things that he stood for man verse 34 vand they shall mock scourge spit kill this is the most detailed prediction of his sufferings yet given to the dis ciples but as always he adds the note of victory the third day he shall rise again verse 35 do for us what soever wo shall desire or better whatsoever we shall ask thee a naive attempt to commit jesus be fore stating their request no reference to the will of god but to their own ambitions perhaps it was a perverted application of matthew 18 is their mother was in the conspiracy matt 2020 verse 36 what would ye that i should do for you the same question as he asked blind barti- maeus luke 1841 but with a different meaning there jesus was encouraging the specific request in order to grant it here he was eliciting the request in order to examine it in the one case it was an encouragement to faith in the other a call to self- judgment verse 37 one on thy right hand and the other on thy left still dreaming about the crowns and the thrones luke 19111 vese 38 ye know not what ye ask g campbell morgan thinks theirs was the request of magnificent faith rather than the request of selfish ambition faith there was but not in a triumph over death for it is apparent they did not expect the resurrection despite jesus teaching it was a eonfused faith coupled with an ambition which however noble in itself was promoted in a wrong way the cup the baptism both refer to his humiliation chap 1430 john is 11 luke 1250 verse 39 we can ye shall they did not know to what they were committing themselves any more than they knew what they were asking but it was a bona fide committal and the lord accepted it receiving them into the holy fellowship of his sufferings phil 310 for the fulfillment turn to acts 12 1 2 and revelation 19 verse 40 for whom it is prepared matthew adds of my father the places of honor are the gifts of divine sovereignty yet the very fact that jesus introduced the cup and the baptism indi cates that there is a relation the seats are in a sense competitive but god is the judge verse 11 the ten began to be much displeased it was the displeasure of resentment at what they considered unfair lobbying they were just as grasping as the two verse 42 lordship authority the ten were as guilty as the two and all sought the greatness coveted in this world the greatness measured by domin ation and authority verses 4314 among you great minister cltiefest servant in the kingdom of god greatness is measured by service not merely the amount of service but the humility of it in this i verse minister means servant and servant means slave stoop to the place of a bond ser vant and you rank highest see the picture of this in john 13 115 verse 45 for even the son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many jesus is the supreme example of his own teaching the very title he assumes commits him to the ser vice of men the service he came to render was the ultimate of self- sacrifice and it was a redemptive service to save the lives souls of men once again the cross is in view with its eternal values how gracious and instructive are the rebukes of jesus the heart of the lesson our spiritual state cariwell be judged by our response to the cross from the timt that jesus disclosed the mystery of the cross to his disciples on the way to caesarea philippi and was taken to task by peter he was consistently grieved by a disappointing reaction to his teaching on that subject it seemed to awaken no response of understanding but left them in a daze from which they aroused themselves with dreams of great ness and quarreled over prefer ence see it in mark 93034 luke 22 2124 as well as in our persent lesson let us remember that the apostles were not yet spiritfilled men the holy spirit had not yet come john 739 to apply the work of the cross to their hearts and our lord while grieved at their slowness and hardness was very patient with them as for us we have the death and resurrection of christ accomplished and nineteen centuries of teaching and demon stration of the truth and the holy spirit present to make it real to us there is no excuse for us if we reject the cross as a present experience how then do we react outstanding quality has made salada canadas largest selling tea salada nursery stocks ornamental trees flowering shrubs perennials

demonstrated their faith in the lord jesus christ it was to say the least inappropriate to seek preference over the others in such an atmos phere of mystery and tragedy it shows how selfish zeal can destroy our sense of the fitness of things graciously and skillfully jesus brought the two petitioners back to the topic which they had been trying to escape speaking now of the cross under the figures of a cup and baptism there arej indeed thrones but the way to j them is not politics but the cross the seats of honor are for those who have shared the bitter cup and accompanied their lord in the deep baptism of calvary if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together rom 8 17 then will the righte ous father assign prepared places to prepared servants the resentment of the ten was just as wrong as the politics of the two but it gave the lord jesus an opportunity to extend the lesson to them greatness in the kingdom of god is not measured by such worldly standards as rank position authority but by that humility of spirit that gladly takes the servants place yes even the slaves place few of us want that kind of greatness that is why there is little real competition for the highest seats in the kingdom of god in this realm jesus him self stands supreme unique fares are low round trlpsubjml lo chanol huntsville collingwood gravenhurst 15 660 735 cream
