THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 194) - Jesus' Intercessory Prayer SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 1047 By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Les- son on the above topic for March 23 is John 17, the Memory Verse being James 5:16, "Pray for one another.") : IN THIS lesson Jesus and His disciples are somewhere in or near Jerusalem, and most probably out of doors, not far from the Kedron river. In crossing the river they would come to the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane. This was the evening of the day before His arrest, as it was in the last week's lesson, With the last words of that les- son, "I have overcome the world," |. Jesus "lifted up His eyes to Hea- ven," and began g prayer to His Father in Heaven to take care of these men whom He loved, and to strengthen them in their work when He was gone from them. "Father, the hour is come," He said, "glorify Thy Son, that. Thy Son also may glorify Thee." It is a triumphant petition, although Jesus knew that in a few short hours He would suffer a cruel death. "I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word. "Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast giv- en Me are of Thee, For I have given unto them tie words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed Thou didst send Me." ; Jesus knew how weak these men He claimed as His own were. Judas was about to betray Him; Peter was to deny Him shortly, and all would desert Him in His hour of need. But He knew too that, with God's help, they would redeem themselves and carry on the work for which He had come into the world, and for which He had called them. He "had faith in them, although He knew their weaknesses. Jesus Prays for Disciples "I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine." One wonders what these Men, His close friends, thought of as their Lord stood in their midst uttering these prayer. Would they remem- ber'them when He was gone? ("And now I. am no more in the world but these are in the world, d I am come to Thee. Holy Fa- ther, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one as We are. "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gayest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition." This term applied to Judas Iscariot is the only reproach Jesus uttered of the man who was to betray Him. Asking divine protection for His disciples Jesus prays: "I have giv- en them My word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. "I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil." ' "Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. "As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. "And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall be- lieve on Me through their word." Asks That They May Share Glory He asked God, His Father, - not only to keep His disciples from evil, but, that "they may be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory which Thou hast given Me." "O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. "And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast lov- ed Me may be in them, and I in them." This was the last gathering these. friends had together. Except for the few times the disciples saw the Master after His resurrection, they had no further association with Him. ey still seemed not to un- derstand what was to befall Him in a very short time, but all their lives they undoubtedly remembered this prayer of His and it strengthened them for the work they had to do; gave them courage when danger threatened, enabled them to face death, even as He had faced it, for the Great Cause which He had preached, A mother and father's prayers give strength and courage to their earthly children in times of danger, as do those of wives and sweethearts. How much more would Jesus' prayer for His followers bring them blessings? Home and School Club Euchre Is Fine Success MRS. B.
