LESSON TEXT—Matthew 20:17-28.
GOLDEN TEXT—While we were yet
■Inner . Christ died for u* —Roman* 9:8.
The nations of the earth and their
leaders are engaged in a struggle
to determine which land and which
leader is to be the greatest. They
may attempt to conceal their real
motive under a cloak of high-mind-
ed and well-sounding objectives, but
essentially the reason for their
•truffle is the desire to be freat.
To them freatness means size,
strenfth, wealth, and position. It
means that also to the average man
od the street. What a pity it is that
auch Is the case and that such a
vicious and erroneous philosophy of
llife has been permitted to make its
way even into the Church.
i The world's ideas of greatness are
■entirely opposite to God's standards.
¡God's people ought to learn what
'His ideals of life are and to liv in
accordance with them even in an
unbelieving world. Both they and
the world would be astonished at the
result.
I. Dytnf for Others <w. 17-19).
With surprising clarity and de-
tail the Lord Jesus once more re-
vealed to His disciples that He was
on His way to Jerusalem to die and
lo arise. again. It la well worth-
while to note thát apart from divin#
foreknowledge and inspiration it
would have been utterly impossible
for Him to five these facts in such
exact detail.
The point we wish to stress is
that flie Son of God was steadfastly
approachinf the death cf Calvary.
Ha had no desire to live for self,
to gratlty His own wishes, to prolonf
Hit life, or to improve His position
In the world. He had come to dp
but one thinf, the will of God. even
to the shameful death of the cross,
fliere to bear your sins and mine.
Let us five ourselves in loyal de-
votion to our dyinf and risen Lord.
n. Ltvtaf for Self (vv. 20-24).
Wert it not written for us to read,
wt could hardly believe that the
two disciples, James, and John, who
ware so very near to our Lord, and
their mother, who was a woman of
earnest faith and sacrificial service
to God, would be fuilty of such an
expression of selfishness, especially
in that aacred hour when He had
spoken of His approachinf death.
Disregarding what Jesus had said
about His sufferings, they apparent-
ly could think only of His coming
flory, and in thinking of that they
could only covet fcr themselves the
chief places. What a strange mix-
ture of faith in Christ and an over-
whelming desire for self-glory!
Perchance some of us have served
Christ with a selfish desire for per-
sonal glory and position putting it-
self forward to influence our think-
inf and actinf. Perhaps we do not
see it in ourselves, but are like the
other disciples who, seeinf this bata-
ful thinf In John and James, were
repelled by It, even as we despise It
in others. It may be that the dis-
ciples were only angry because they
had not thoufht to make 1ht rtquett
for themttlves.
m. FMhf Trae Greataeae (vv.
25-28).
"Rulers," "greatness," "exercise
authority" — how modern these
words from verse 25 sound! They
epitomise the ambitions of the great
majority of mankind today. Few
indeed are those in the world who
aae the way to true freatness as
that of the lowly Jesus. In every in-
stance where they do rightly ap-
prehend and live out this truth, one
it satisfied that somewhere in their
experience they have come to know
! His principles of life even thoufh
they do not know Him. Only In Him
is such an attitude toward life to
I be found.
To be freat one is to serve in the
spirit of humility and self-sacrlflee.
Ais is the command of Christ. Evan
In the Church there are not too many
lava headed that word. If
ware more of this spirit we
would have less church quarrels,
ifor essentially they root back to the
desire for greatness. We may not
admit that fact, but it Is none the
